Validation of the Critical Shear Crack Theory for punching of slabs without transverse reinforcement by means of a refined mechanical model

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, João Tiago Ramos Bernardo de Santa Rita Simões

Despite the intensive efforts dedicated in the last decades to better understanding punching shear failures, there is still no consensus on the mechanics governing this phenomenon and on how to implement it within a physical approach. In this paper, an ana ...

Measurements of internal cracking in punching test slabs without shear reinforcement

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Jürgen Einpaul

Advancing the knowledge about the punching behaviour of flat slabs has been held back by the fact that only indirect measurements of the internal failure mechanism have typically been available. In this paper, a novel experimental approach for tracking the ...

A mechanical model for failures in shear of members without transverse reinforcement based on development of a critical shear crack

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Francesco Cavagnis

In this paper, a mechanical model consistent with the main assumptions of the Critical Shear Crack Theory (CSCT) is proposed for shear design of slender concrete members without shear reinforcement. To that aim, the shear force that can be transferred thro ...

The mechanics of punching in reinforced concrete slabs and footings without shear reinforcement

João Tiago Ramos Bernardo de Santa Rita Simões

Punching shear failures of structural concrete members have been the focus of attention of numerous works presented over the last decades. Although various rational approaches have been developed to predict these failures, there is still no unanimity on a ...

Experimental investigation on the behaviour of lap splices under uniaxial cyclic loading

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Danilo Tarquini

Splicing of longitudinal reinforcement in the plastic hinge region of reinforced concrete (RC) members was common practice in buildings and bridges before the introduction of capacity design principles. Experimental and field observations showed that the p ...

Response of thin lightly-reinforced concrete walls under cyclic loading

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida

During the last two decades, thin concrete walls have been frequently used to brace mid- to high-rise buildings in some Latin American countries. This structural system differs significantly in terms of wall geometry and reinforcement layout from tradition ...

On the formulation of anisotropic-polyaxial failure criteria: a comparative study

Lyesse Laloui, Francesco Parisio

The correct representation of the failure of geomaterials that feature strength anisotropy and polyaxiality is crucial for many applications. In this contribution, we propose and evaluate through a comparative study a generalized framework that covers both ...

Dynamic behavior of rock during its post failure stage in SHPB tests

Yang Zou, Yang Zhao, Xin Cai

In order to investigate the micro-process and inner mechanism of rock failure under impact loading, the laboratory tests were carried out on an improved split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system with synchronized measurement devices including a high-speed ...

Experimental campaign on thin RC columns prone to out-of-plane instability: numerical simulation using shell element models

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Angelica Rosso, Lisandro Arturo Jimenez Roa

Construction of multi-storey reinforced concrete (RC) wall buildings in areas of moderate to high seismicity has become a common practice in several Latin-American countries such as Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Mexico. The large material cost has led to the ...

Occurrence of the Portevin Le-Chatelier effect in open-cell microcellular Al-2 wt% Mg

Andreas Mortensen, Kseniya Illkova

Microcellular open-cell metal foams with pores of 75 or 400 pm in diameter and made of pure Al or Al-2 wt% Mg are tested in compression. The aluminum foam exhibits a typical smooth plastic flow and a positive strain rate sensitivity, whereas plastic instab ...
