[EN] The introduction of strut-and-tie models in fib Model Code 1990 as a design basis for discontinuity regions constituted a significant step toward promoting consistent design methods for reinforced concrete structures. ...

[EN] Dapped-end beams (DEB), also known as Gerber joints or half joints, are frequently used at supports in reinforced and prestressed concrete structures, particularly in precast concrete manufacturing. DEB is a popular ...

Los Apoyos a Media Madera (AMM) son un tipo de apoyo muy común en la práctica constructiva actual del hormigón armado y pretensado, sobre todo en el ámbito de la prefabricación. Desde el punto de vista estructural, la ...

[EN] Reinforced concrete dapped ends are a widely used connection for precast elements in infrastructure and building structures. However, they are prone to major durability problems due to the formation of an inclined ...
[EN] Connections are a persistent challenge for traditional reinforced concrete construction and even more for digital fabrication with concrete (DFC). The latter, on the other hand, opens up new possibilities for producing ...

[EN] The interaction of reinforcing steel and concrete is decisive for the structural behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) in the serviceability and ultimate limit state. In the past decade, distributed fibre optical ...

[EN] Although fibre-reinforced concrete has been the subject of extensive research for decades, its mechanical behaviour in shear is still not well understood. Furthermore, hardly any large-scale shear tests on elements ...
[EN] Material, manufacturing process, and form are mutually dependent. In formwork-based concrete construction, the reinforcement must be positioned and fixed in the formwork, limiting material efficiency and freedom of ...

[EN] Dapped-end beams are frequent precast concrete elements. Spalling on the top of the hanger reinforcement has been observed to be often their governing failure mode. This failure hinders the geometric definition of ...

[EN] The interaction of the reinforcing bars and the surrounding concrete plays an important role in structural concrete as it is decisive for the reinforcing bar anchorage and the load-deformation behaviour, including ...

[EN] Incorporating sufficient reinforcement to ensure a ductile structural behaviour is a persisting challenge in digitally fabricated concrete structures. This paper investigates the structural performance of a reinforcement ...
[EN] Most of the concrete volume in multistorey buildings is cast in solid slabs, which are frequently flat slabs supported on columns. By using two-way spanning ribbed slabs, concrete consumption could be significantly ...
[EN] Thin-walled textile-reinforced concrete beams have recently emerged as a promising approach for material-efficient design. However, the increased complexity of the formwork is a major challenge in implementing such ...
