Lumped damage mechanics as a diagnosis tool of reinforced concrete structures in service: case studies of a former bridge arch and a balcony slab

Rafael Cunha, Camila Vieira, David Amorim

Reinforced concrete structures may need repair in order to ensure the designed durability. Such necessity vary in cause and effect, but the structural diagnosis serves as the basis for adopting intervention measures. The assessment of the…

Experimental and numerical assessment of the location-based impact of grouting defects on the tensile performance of the fully grouted sleeve connection

Espoir Kahama, Xie Fuzhe, Chunhua Lu, Isaac Offei

The presence of grouting defects emanating from construction operations constitutes a major threat to the structural integrity of the grouted sleeve connection of precast concrete members. This work presents a location-based assessment of…

Two-parameter fracture model for cortical bone

Sabrina Vantadori, Andrea Carpinteri, Giovanni Fortese, Camilla Ronchei, Daniela Scorza, Filippo Berto

The analysis of the bone fracture behaviour is fundamental for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of traumas. In the present paper, an experimental analysis of the fracture behaviour of a bovine femoral cortical bone is carried out, where…

The approach to fracture diagnosis by means of experimental measurements of the stored energy

Alena Vedernikova, A. Iziumova, A. Vshivkov, Oleg Plekhov

The energy dissipation in metals in the process of irreversible deformation leads to intensive heat generation in the areas in the strain localization zones. This work is devoted to the measuring the power of heat sources by means of the…
