In many countries around the world a huge number of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures have been realized without account for seismic detailing, even if they are located in areas subjected to high seismicity. this context, several passive protection techniques developed and applied retrofit these such as, an example, isolation. The aim work is characterize probabilistic terms performance framed RC building retrofitted by means sliding friction pendulum (FPS) devices. Specifically,...
Cracking of concrete plays a key role in reinforced (RC) structures design, especially serviceability conditions. A variety reasons contribute to develop cracking and its presence is be considered as almost unavoidable. Therefore, good control the phenomenon order provide durability required. development due tensile stresses that arise result action direct external loads or restrained endogenous deformations. This paper focuses on induced by indirect actions. In fact, there very limited...
In the last few years, sustainable cement manufacturing has been under spotlight. Finding alternative cements while maintaining or improving current performance standards is scientist's effort. particular, calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) represent a very promising compared to ordinary Portland (OPC) because of their high early strength, excellent durability, good in aggressive conditions, low energy consumption as well reduced CO2 emissions. This paper presents results several experimental...
Abstract In the last decades, assessment and rehabilitation of existing built environment constitute one major challenges for engineers, practitioners code-makers all over world. Aging, deterioration processes, lack or improper maintenance, increasing occurrence extreme events have led to need more efficient methods safety retrofitting/rehabilitation concrete structures like bridges. New approaches deriving from research should be able provide solutions devoted reduce and/or avoid necessity...
Abstract This article presents the numerical analysis’ results of reinforced concrete elements subjected to plane stress in early cracking stage. The are modelled by a two-dimensional matrix, discrete reinforcement bars and bond-slip elements. aim this study is investigate behaviour RC structures before after formation first cracks understand influence on crack spacing width bar orientation with respect direction, diameter presence shear stresses crack. Discrete non-linear analysis both...
Abstract This investigation is devoted to quantify the epistemic uncertainty related nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete columns characterized by high slenderness using numerical codes. The adoption refined tools, which are able consider both mechanical and geometric non linearities, implies perform assumptions approximations with respect reality. Whit reference reliability analysis, these simplifications lead, inevitably, additional uncertainties nature. In fact, may be reduced...
