The clashing of in situ and pre‐cast technologies—Western trends and local traditions in concrete engineering shaping shell construction in 20th‐century Hungary

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract After a blossoming pre‐World War II (WWII) period, the concrete construction industry in then‐socialist Hungary existed in a relative isolation from the Western World during the mid‐20th century. In this paper, we focus on the body of work of one of the then newly established state‐owned design offices, IPARTERV, to show how the isolation ...

Combinatorial optimization approach for the efficient reuse of RC components

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The reuse of reinforced concrete (RC) components from deconstructed buildings offers a promising approach to reduce the environmental impact of new constructions. However, it represents a complex combinatorial optimization problem to efficiently place the available modules, which vary in geometry and load‐bearing capacity, into new structures ...

Strip loading in reinforced concrete: Mechanical modeling and experimental validation

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Strip loading of reinforced concrete is a common problem in engineering practice. The concrete compressive strength at the load introduction can be several times higher than the uniaxial concrete compressive strength, which can be attributed to geometrical and passive confining stresses caused by load dispersion and reinforcement, respectively.
