Incremental upper bound modeling of concrete failures in timber‐concrete notched connections
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This paper introduces a novel theoretical framework for developing incremental upper bound solutions, which is applied to predict the response of two local concrete failures in timber‐concrete composite (TCC) decks with notched connections. The new approach enables a prediction of the capacity at the onset of failure as well as the entire post‐

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The preservation of reinforced concrete masterpieces from the 20th century poses a complex challenge. These structures often combine architectural, historical, and technological value, which standard engineering codes and conservation practices are not fully equipped to address. The Erasmus+ REcube project responded to this gap by promoting an

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The previous seismic events indicated the vulnerability of old reinforced concrete (RC) structures against earthquakes due to the absence of seismic detailing and capacity design specifications in such buildings. In this context, beam‐column joints (BCJ) of the existing RC structures built before the 1970s have exhibited poor structural ...

Assessment of the factor κk,max in classification of steel fiber‐reinforced concrete
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents a general approach, and results employed in a study aimed at assessing the value of a coefficient, κk,max, introduced in Annex L in EN 1992‐1‐1:2023 (EC2). This coefficient defines an upper limit of the ratio between steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) characteristic and mean values of the residual tensile strengths, fR1

Experimental investigation of reinforced concrete members subjected to reversed cyclic axial loading
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents an experimental campaign of five reinforced concrete members subjected to cyclic axial loading alternating between tension and compression. Fiber optical sensors and digital image correlation, in combination with automated crack detection and measurement, were used to investigate, among other aspects, the development of ...
