Numerical investigation of the localized failure of CFRP retrofitted reinforced concrete joints with embedded anchors

Due to their lightweight, mechanical and durability properties, Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP) have shown to be well-suited for the enhancement of Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures to prevent seismic risk. In the case of externally bonded…

Numerical estimation of crack openings in concrete structures under multi-physic loadings

Cement based material structures are designed to work in pair with steel reinforcement. They are thus prone to cracking. In the modelling, there is often an ambiguity between damage (micro-cracking at the scale of a REV) and crack opening at the…

Oscillatory flow of Koo–Kleinstreuer and aggregate nanofluids in cylindrical annuli: Toward an innovative solution to deal with nanofluids instability

This paper exhibits the oscillatory characteristics of a free convective flow of nanofluids in horizontal concentric annuli of pilot dimensions to provide a mechanical solution against their particles settling which occurs by aggregation. These…
