Reinforcement detail: Stress trajectory‐oriented corbel reinforcement
Abstract The article presents a novel design of concrete corbels, where horizontal and vertical stirrups are replaced by main reinforcement bars that are bent down into the corbel web, following the principal stress lines. A test series of three specimen pairs of fanned‐out and conventional reinforcement design, supported by finite element analysis ...

Triaxial shake table testing of an integrated low‐damage building system
Abstract Lessons from recent earthquakes have provided a tough reality check of the traditional seismic design approach and technologies, highlighting the urgent need for a paradigm shift of performance‐based design criteria and objectives toward low‐damage design philosophy and technologies for the whole building system.

Abstract This paper numerically investigates three typologies of Gerber saddle in existing ordinary and post‐tensioned girder concrete bridges. The main goals of this work concern the evaluation of the effective load‐bearing capacity of Gerber saddles, and the identification of weak points (i.e., lack of enough diagonal reinforcement, loss of ...

This study focuses on the behavior of a three‐dimensional reinforced concrete dapped‐end beam subjected to the effects of impact velocity and dapped‐end beam cross‐section geometry by numerical simulation using ABAQUS (V6.14) software under a constant impact load. The finite element software ABAQUS is utilized to simulate and analyze the drop impact to

Experimental Study on Two‐Step Concrete Corbels with Several Interface Conditions
Corbels are usually used in precast concrete structures for beam–column connections and are common in industrial structures to support crane girders and may be required in new alteration works. To overcome the difficulty of casting columns with corbels, especially in precast concrete industry, columns are sometimes cast without their corbels, and then ...

Abstract The construction of dolmens took place in Europe from the Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age (fifth millennium BC–second millennium BC) and had a rapid development along the Atlantic façade, with an important focus in Andalusia. Within this area, the megalithic necropolises located in the banks of the Gor River (Granada, Andalusia, Spain) are ...

The Yohannes IV Palace, located in Mekelle, the present regional capital of Tigray, Ethiopia, was constructed in the 1880s supervised by the Italian craftsman Giacomo Naretti. This study aims to clarify its historical orientation by analyzing its location, planning, and building elements, by considering Naretti’s contribution, the building’s ...
