The fatigue of concrete has been the subject of research for many years, and yet, there are
still open questions. In particular, the fatigue‐induced damage evolution accompanied by a …

Composite structures with textile CFRP (carbon fibre reinforced polymer) reinforcement are
characterised by high compressive and tensile strength and have great potential for use in …

Abstract Im Rahmen des Forschungsprojekts IDA‐KI wird eine Forschungsbrücke
(openLAB) gebaut, die bis in den Bereich der starken Schädigung belastet wird. Begleitend …

Due to its insensitivity to corrosion, textile CFRP (carbon fibre reinforced polymer)
reinforcement enables the construction of thin-walled concrete structures such as shells …

Civil engineering structures are exposed to complex loading scenarios leading to multiaxial
fracture and activation of stress transfer mechanisms along cracks controlled by combined …

Distributed optical fibre sensing (DOFS)-based strain measurement systems are now
routinely deployed across infrastructure health monitoring applications. However, there are …

Abstract Das Querkrafttragverhalten von Bauteilen ohne Querkraftbewehrung ist seit über
100 Jahren ein fester Bestandteil der Forschung im Massivbau. In den letzten Jahren sind …

Tendon breaks significantly threaten the safety of prestressed concrete structures. Failure of
embedded tendons does not necessarily indicate as surface cracks, demonstrating the need …

In the context of the necessity to monitor civil engineering structures in order to prevent
incidents, this paper presents the performance of an innovative optical fibers patch sensor …

Non-metallic reinforcement not only facilitates a substitution of conventional reinforcing
steel, but also allows for slender members with a reduced concrete cover or an increase in …
