SUMMARY:From Large-Scale Tests to Detailed Simulations of Reinforced and Pr
 estressed Concrete Elements [No Categories]
DESCRIPTION:Location: Civil and Environmental Engineering Speaker:  Alex Br
 odsky\n   \n The talk will be given in Hebrew\n Abstract\nThe presentation
  will cover different aspects of the non-linear behaviour of reinforced an
 d prestressed concrete elements (RC and PC) subjected to extreme condition
 s. Structural systems comprising RC frames with masonry infill walls are w
 idely implemented in residential and public buildings. The masonry infill 
 wall is usually considered as a non-structural element. Yet\, even if not 
 meant to\, it plays a major role in the structural response in the case of
  an extreme event such as local impact\, blast or earthquake and shear fai
 lures of the frame commonly observed. The results of large-scale laborator
 y tests on RC infilled frames subjected to vertical displacement field and
  a unique testing facility that allows measuring the infill-frame interact
 ion will be presented. In addition\, the presentation will be discussing a
  multi-scale modelling technique for the modelling of RC infilled frames a
 nd particularly brittle shear failures of the RC frame. A detailed non-lin
 ear response of the RC elements using the Modified Compression Field Theor
 y (MCFT) will be presented and its applications for the response of infill
 ed frames under earthquake action and sudden column removal. The implement
 ation of the model in Hybrid-Multi-Platform simulations to improve computa
 tional efficiency will be shown. The presentation will include discussion 
 of a detailed investigation into the structural safety of a large segmenta
 l PC West Seattle Bridge (WSB) and a sectional-based analysis methodology 
 for the evaluation of the shear strength of disturbed regions.\nAbout the 
 speaker\nAlex Brodsky is a Lyon Sachs Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Unive
 rsity of Toronto\, Canada. He obtained his B.Sc. (Summa Cum Laude) and Ph.
 D. (direct track) in Structural Engineering from Technion. In his Ph.D. he
  investigated the behavior of masonry infilled frame-structures to reduce 
 the likelihood of Progressive collapse. His research focuses on the behavi
 or of structures under extreme loads and conditions. Alex has extensive ex
 perience in large scale-experimental tests and failure investigations of s
 tructures. In his current research\, Alex deals with multi-scale simulatio
 ns\, ductile failures in reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete elem
 ents. \n Link to Zoom invitation:https://technion.zoom.us/j/98198000292
