Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Ospina, Carlos E. (author), Alexander, Scott D.B. (author)In design, the sectional depth of reinforced concrete spread footings is usually governed by design code provisions for punching shear, which are derived primarily from experiments on slab-column connections. Previous experiments have shown that the punching behavior of concentrically loaded spread footings differs from that of slab-column...conference paper 2023

van der Esch, Anton (author), Wolfs, Rob (author), Fennis, Sonja (author), Roosen, M.A. (author), Wijte, Simon (author)Over the last century, over one hundred crack width formulas have been developed to calculate the width and spacing of cracks in reinforced and prestressed concrete elements. It is unclear which formulas are the most accurate. An extensive comparison study is required to determine which formulas accurately describe the crack patterns,...journal article 2023

Vargas, Daniel (author), Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Genikomsou, Aikaterini S. (author)Eccentric punching shear can occur in concrete slab–column connections when the connection is subjected to shear and unbalanced moments. Unbalanced moments occur in all floor slabs at the edge and corner columns. As such, this problem is of practical relevance. However, most punching experiments in the literature deal with concentric punching...journal article 2022

Slobbe, Arthur (author), Rózsás, Árpád (author), Yang, Y. (author)This paper presents a reliability-based calibration method for design code formulas. The method is demonstrated on the shear design formulas in Eurocode 2 and fib Model Code 2010 (MC2010). We found that the partial factor (Formula presented.) in the current Eurocode 2 is about 20% lower than the optimal value and, thus, provides an...journal article 2022

Carrera, Bernardo (author), Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), Alexander, Scott D.B. (author)The strip model describes a load path prior to failure that can be tailored to a wide range of slabs under concentrated loads, both concentric and eccentric. Eccentric punching shear can occur in concrete slab-column connections subjected to shear and unbalanced moment, such as edge and corner columns. This paper shows how the strip model is...conference paper 2022

Guo, Wenhao (author), Hu, Jie (author), Ma, Yuwei (author), Huang, Haoliang (author), Wei, Jiangxiong (author), Yu, Qijun (author)Impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) is an effective corrosion protection and prevention technique for reinforced concrete structures served in chloride-contaminated environment. The acidification damage in the external anode mortar caused by the anodic reactions significantly influences the efficiency of ICCP for reinforced concrete....conference paper 2021

Zhang, Zhidong (author), Angst, Ueli M. (author)The structure of concrete, in particular the microstructure of the steel-concrete interface (SCI), can significantly affect corrosion of rebars. To support corrosion, oxygen needs to diffuse from the ambient environment to the steel surface. Meanwhile, corrosion products transport through the SCI and precipitate in concrete. Transport properties...conference paper 2021

Xia, Y. (author)Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures are widely used in our society for more than a century. In order to design safe and economical RC structures, various methods have been proposed by engineers and researchers. Remarkably, it still is a challenging task for engineers to design D-regions of RC structures, regions with nonlinear strain...doctoral thesis 2021

Yang, Y. (author), de Boer, Ane (author), den Uijl, J.A. (author)A recent contest of shear tests modelling was carried out in 2019. Teams from universities and consultancies around Europe were invited to predict the shear capacity of two reinforced concrete beams. The basics of the numerical models were to be set up according the Dutch NLFEM Guideline RTD 1016–1:2017. In the contest, two reinforced...journal article 2021

Moya, Lucía (author), Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author)Simplified code provisions can be used for the analysis and design of straight slab bridges. However, several studies question the appropriateness of simplified procedures for skewed geometries. This paper provides practical insights to the designer regarding the effects of skewness in reinforced concrete slab bridges by evaluating how...journal article 2021

Harrewijn, T.L. (author), Vergoossen, R.P.H. (author), Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author)Most bridges in the Dutch infrastructure are built before 1985 and have experienced increasing traffic intensities and loads. On the other hand, the structural (design) codes have changed over the years. A frequently faced problem in practice is that the original design calculations and technical drawings of a large percentage of the existing...conference paper 2020

Rossi, Emanuele (author)In this study, a three-scale characterization of eight 20-years-old reinforced concrete specimens naturally deteriorated due to chloride-induced corrosion was carried out. The main aim of this research was to investigate some relevant parameters to accurately model corrosion of reinforced concrete structures, such as which are the locations...master thesis 2018

Korff, Baptiste (author)The construction method of an overturning caisson is reconsidered. This particular self-floating caisson was applied for several caisson quay wall projects over a century ago. After the year 1914, the design was abandoned. After this time, rectangular caissons became more economical due to higher qualities, simplified formwork and easier...master thesis 2017

Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author), van der Veen, C. (author), de Boer, A. (author)Proof loading of existing bridges is an option to study the capacity when crucial information about the structure is lacking. To define the loading criteria for proof load testing, a review of the literature has been made, finite element models of existing viaducts have been made, and on these viaducts, proof loading tests have been carried out....conference paper 2017

Houtenbos, J.R. (author)It was unclear what level of reliability was provided by appliance of the Eurocode load models for fatigue due to train loads, meaning that it might be insufficient. Therefore, it was investigated what the provided reliability is, compared to what is should be. Within this report, the focus is solely on fatigue induced by bending moments on...master thesis 2016

Pacheco Farias, J. (author)Reinforcement corrosion is frequently considered as the predominant degradation mechanism affecting reinforced concrete structures. Reinforced concrete structures are commonly subject to harsh environmental and loading conditions in which aggressive species can penetrate. Chlorides, present in seawater or de-icing salts, are the main responsible...doctoral thesis 2015

Van Eck, S.R.G. (author)As fossil fuel reserves are rapidly being depleted, sustainable alternatives have to be found to fulfil the world's energy demand. Numerous concepts have been proposed to generate electricity by harnessing renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power. One of these concepts is the the so-called solar updraft tower (SUT). The SUT consists...master thesis 2015

Veerman, R.P. (author), Koenders, E.A.B. (author)De-icing salts, used on roads in heavy winters, may enter reinforced concrete (RC) structures via its capillary pore system or via cracks, initiating reinforcement corrosion and reducing its remaining service-life. Vehicles passing real bridges exert a dynamic impact action that might activate a fatigue failure mechanism. In order to generate...conference paper 2014

Blagojevic, A. (author), Koleva, D.A. (author), Walraven, J.C. (author)Chloride-induced corrosion of steel reinforcement is one of the major threats to durability of reinforced concrete structures in aggressive environmental conditions. When the steel reinforcement starts to corrode, structures gradually lose integrity and service life is shortened. Cracks are inevitable in practice and they facilitate ingress of...conference paper 2014
