Impact of half‐joint failures on RC girder bridges: A robustness quantification study
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The robustness of bridge structures is critical to ensuring safety and service continuity, particularly in aging infrastructure exposed to degradation and unexpected loads. Reinforced concrete (RC) half‐joint bridges—widely built in Italy between the 1950s and 1970s—exhibit specific vulnerabilities due to inspection challenges, durability ...

Strip loading in steel fiber reinforced concrete: Experimental and theoretical investigation
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Fiber reinforced concrete is becoming increasingly popular in engineering practice due to its high robustness, post‐cracking behavior, and crack control. For strip loading, as common, for example, in longitudinal joints of tunnel lining segments, the use of fiber reinforced concrete has the potential to reduce conventional reinforcement ...

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 Reinforced concrete flat slabs are widely employed in contemporary architecture due to their structural efficiency and construction simplicity; however, their susceptibility to punching shear failure remains a critical design concern, particularly at slab–column connections where concentrated loads occur.

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
