RE:SLAB — a load bearing system for open-ended component reuse in building structures

Dario Redaelli, Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Alex-Manuel Muresan, Edisson Xavier Estrella Arcos

The construction industry plays a major role in the high levels of greenhouse gas emissions, resource consumption, and waste generation observed nowadays. Key to the circular economy, structural component reuse arises as a promising solution to divert cons ...

Load bearing device

Dario Redaelli, Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Alex-Manuel Muresan

The present relates to a device being used in modular building construction comprising at least one flat load support comprising a first main face and a second main face, at least one elongated load support designed for being coupled with said flat load su ...

Sustainability through reuse: a reconfigurable structural system for residential and office buildings

Dario Redaelli, Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Alex-Manuel Muresan

Current load-bearing systems for buildings rarely have a beneficial end of life. Modular design is a proven solution for revalorizing obsolete structures, but it hardly competes with conventional solutions: the range of future spatial configurations that t ...

Design Space of Modular Slab Systems with Discrete Stiffness Distribution and Irregular Column Layout

Dario Redaelli, Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Alex-Manuel Muresan

A known challenge of modular structural systems is to avoid the oversizing of its elements while allowing a wide variety of spatial layouts. Considering any given floor outline and the availability of square slab elements with three discrete bending and sh ...

Thin UHPFRC slabs without conventional reinforcement as light-weight structural elements

Aurelio Muttoni, Ana Spasojevic, Dario Redaelli

Ultra-High Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) is a material characterised by significantly improved mechanical and durability properties compared to other concretes. In recent years, an important research effort has been made to identify approp ...

Comportement et modélisation des éléments de structure en béton fibré à ultra-hautes performances avec armatures passives

Dario Redaelli

The present research improves the experimental and theoretical knowledge on the behaviour of structural elements made of ultra high performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) with ordinary reinforcement. UHPFRC is a recently developed material with muc ...

Influence of tensile properties of UHPFRC on size effect in bending

Aurelio Muttoni, Ana Spasojevic, Dario Redaelli, Miguel Fernández Ruiz

Bending behaviour of members without ordinary reinforcement made of quasi-brittle materials (such as concrete or fibre-reinforced concrete) is subjected to size effect both in terms of strength and ductility. For a typical ultra-high performance fibre-rein ...

Tensile Behaviour of reinforced ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete elements

Aurelio Muttoni, Dario Redaelli

Ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFC) is a new class of materials that combine a very strong and dense cementicious matrix with a high fiber content. UHPFC has a very high compressive strength (in the order of 200 MPa) and a relatively l ...

Testing of reinforced high performance fibre concrete members in tension

Dario Redaelli

Ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFC) is a high performance construction material, coupling strength, ductility and compacity. Up to the present time, its mechanical properties have been widely studied, but design approaches and structur ...
