1. Passive confinement of reinforced concrete members revisited 

   Morger, Fabian; Kenel, Albin; Kaufmann, Walter (2024)

   Structural Concrete

   Passive confinement provided by transverse reinforcement is taken into account in the design of reinforced concrete structures subjected to high compressive loading such as columns, piers, or tunnel lining segments. In current guidelines, several models exist to account for this beneficial effect. However, these approaches lack mechanical consistency regarding the three-dimensional load dispersion of the confining forces. The article ...

4. Performance of a winter wheat composite cross population in two temperate agroforestry systems - a Swiss case study 

   den Hond-Vaccaro, Christina; Mascher, Fabio; Six, Johan; et al. (2024)

   Agroforestry Systems

   In agroforestry systems (AFS), where environmental conditions are highly variable at small spatial scales, the use of uniform genetic material of a single cultivar commonly grown in monoculture cropping might not be optimal. However, the use of composite cross populations (CCPs) that contain an inherent genetic variability might be a promising approach under the environmental variability created by trees in AFS. In this experimental trial, ...

5. Laser powder bed fusion of planar bi-metallic thermally auxetic lattice structures 

   Bambach, Markus; Tucker, Michael Robert (2024)

   CIRP Annals

   This study addresses challenges in design and fabrication of thermally auxetic structures with zero thermal expansion (ZTE) using multi-material laser powder bed fusion. Planar 316L-CuCr1Zr lattices with re-entrant and triangular unit cells were designed, manufactured and tested. Introducing beam curvature as a new design parameter effectively reduces the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) compared to standard designs with straight ...
