Innovative design and construction of 220 m high wind turbine tower

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents an innovative design and construction approach for a 220‐m‐high wind turbine tower, designed to meet the increasing demand for renewable energy and the specific needs of large‐scale wind energy projects. The design leverages a hybrid structural concept with a concrete foundation that supports three inclined legs and a ...

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 ...

The influence of casting position and depth of concrete pour on bond strength

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Bond strength of steel bars cast near the top of a concrete pour may be lower than that of bars cast close to the bottom due to an increase in water content, to consolidation of fluid concrete below the bar, or to both. Current design codes typically require increases of 20%–40% in anchorage and lap lengths in “poor” bond conditions to allow ...

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.

Robustness assessment of reinforced concrete structures for different failure scenarios

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study describes the robustness assessment of 3D reinforced concrete structures analyzing the response of the 2D frames in different design configurations and failure scenarios. The structures are characterized by both frames with wide beams and seismic‐resistant frames with deep beams.
