    • ASR assessment – concrete prism testing within a regulatory framework 

      Rønning, Terje F.; Lindgård, Jan; Bremseth, Sigrun Kjær (Procedia Engineering, 2013)
      The experience of ASR and ASR testing varies substantially across Europe and outside. Several testing procedures exist but are not always linked to service life records. Also, the European concrete standard on this issue ...

    • The Porsche pavilion in the Autostadt Wolfsburg, Germany 

      Pasternak, Hartmut; Krausche, Thomas (Procedia Engineering, 2013)
      The Porsche Pavilion is an innovative stainless steel construction using the principle, often used in ship and car design, as an advantage for building a light but stiff structure. As the new highlight of the Autostadt ...

    • Hydration of cement composites containing large amount of waste materials 

      Pacewska, Barbara; Wilińska, Iwona (Procedia Engineering, 2013)
      Reducing the consumption of cement with simultaneous utilizing waste materials is preferred for reasons of environmental protection. Typical content of materials substituting cement in cement concrete composition does not ...

    • Rational design of piled raft 

      Mandolinia, Alessandro; Di Laora, Raffaele; Mascarucci, Ylenia (Procedia Engineering, 2013)
      Piles have been traditionally designed to ensure the transfer of the whole structural load to the soil in which they are embedded. It is now largely accepted that this way of doing is unduly conservative, especially in ...

    • Soil-structure-interaction of tunnels and superstructures during construction and service time 

      Katzenbach, Rolf; Leppla, Steffen; Vogler, Matthias; Seip, Matthias; Kurze, Susanne (Procedia Engineering, 2013)
      The increasing size and population density of metropolitan areas and the along going traffic demands lead to the construction of large infrastructure projects. In many cases these infrastructure projects are close to ...

    • Time-dependent stiffness of cracked reinforced and composite concrete slabs 

      Gilbert, R Ian (Procedia Engineering, 2013)
      The effects of creep and shrinkage on the time-dependent behaviour of reinforced concrete and composite steel-concrete slabs are discussed and procedures for the prediction of the long-term deflection are presented. The ...

    • Thermo-active ground-source structures for heating and cooling 

      Brandl, Heinz (Procedia Engineering, 2013)
      Energy foundations and other thermo-active ground structures, energy wells, and pavement or bridge deck heating / cooling represent an innovative technology that contributes to environmental protection and provides substantial ...

    • FRP systems in shear strengthening of reinforced concrete structures 

      Belarbi, Abdeldjelil; Acun, Bora (Procedia Engineering, 2013)
      Due to their lightweight, high tensile strength, and ease to install on irregular surfaces, the use of FRP systems for the repair and strengthening of reinforced concrete structures has become an accepted practice within ...
