The Shear Behavior of Insulated Precast Concrete Sandwich Panels Reinforced with BFRP

Buildings, 2022
Typical insulated precast concrete sandwich panel (PCSP) systems are composed of two concrete wythes separated by a layer of insulation. The structural behavior of insulated PCSP systems heavily depends on elements between two wythes known as connectors,

A Study on the Mechanical Behavior of a Wind Turbine Foundation with a Constrained Structural Shear Connector

Buildings
Aiming to solve the problems that a wind turbine foundation with a foundation pipe may suffer from grouting, where the concrete around the interface collapses and the interface disintegrates under a long-term wind load, a kind of wind turbine foundation ...

Molecular weight effects on chain pull-out fracture of reinforced polymeric interfaces

, 1999
Using Brownian dynamics, we simulate the fracture of polymer interfaces reinforced by diblock connector chains. We find that for short chains the interface fracture toughness depends linearly on the degree of polymerization $N$ of the connector chains ...

Ferritic stainless steels in structural applications [PDF]

, 2014
Ferritic stainless steels are low cost, price-stable, corrosion-resistant materials. Although widely used in the automotive and domestic appliance sectors, structural applications are scarce owing to a dearth of performance data and design guidance.
