Numerical modelling of glulam beams externally reinforced with CFRP plates
(Vienna University of Technology, 2016)
Timber beams can effectively be reinforced using externally bonded fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. This paper describes a nonlinear 3-dimensional finite element model which was developed in order to accurately ...
Determination of Mode I fracture properties of European spruce
(Wood Research, 2023)
In this paper an efficient procedure for obtaining a cohesive law for Mode I timber fracture (crack opening), based on the Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) tests is given. DCB tests were performed on ten European spruce specimens ...
Experimental investigation of cracked notched glulam beams repaired with screws
(World Conference on Timber Engineering (WCTE), 2018)
Notches made at the ends of glued laminated timber (glulam) beams significantly decrease load carrying capacity of a structural member. This paper presents an experimental research on bending behaviour of end-notched glulam ...
Life cycle assessment (LCA) of concrete made using recycled concrete or natural aggregates
(Elsevier Inc., 2013)
This chapter is devoted to comparative environmental assessment of structural concrete made with recycled concrete aggregates and structural concrete made with natural aggregates. The results of life cycle assessment of ...
Multicriteria optimization of natural and recycled aggregate concrete for structural use
(Elsevier Ltd, 2015)
Recycling of concrete waste to produce recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) and its use in the production of structural concrete is the way towards reducing the depletion of natural mineral resources and the amount of ...
Advancing traditional strategies for testing hydrological model fitness in a changing climate
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
Mitigation of adverse effects of global warming relies on accurate flow projections under climate change. These projections usually focus on changes in hydrological signatures, such as 100-year floods, which are estimated ...
COVID-19 Struggle and Post-COVID-19 Recovery: Exploring the Governance, Success, and Digital Transition in Construction Projects in Serbia
(Sustainability, 2023)
Construction, one of the largest global economic sectors, has been severely challenged by the economic uncertainties brought on by COVID-19. Since 2020, pandemic-related disruptions and remedial measures have made its ...
Preisach Model for Cyclic Bending of Elastoplastic Beams
(Elsevier, 1996)
In the present paper, the Preisach model, already successfully implemented for the problem of axially loaded members, has been extended to the cyclic bending of elasto-plastic beams. Starting from Hooke's and St. Venant's ...
Free vibration study of sandwich plates using a family of novel shear deformable dynamic stiffness elements: limitations and comparison with the finite element solutions
(Elsevier Ltd, 2016)
In this paper, the dynamic stiffness matrix of a completely free rectangular multi-layer plate element based on Reddy's higher-order shear deformation theory is derived. The reduction of the proposed model to the first-order ...
Extension of the ζ-method for calculating deflections of two-way slabs based on linear elastic finite element analysis
(wileyonlinelibrary.comfib. International Federation for Structural Concrete, 2021)
Deflections are among the most complex aspects of reinforced concrete behavior.
Furthermore, deflection control is increasingly a governing criterion in
design, especially in the case of two-way members such as flat slabs ...
