Book Behavior  Modeling  and Impact of Bond in Steel Reinforced High performance Fiber reinforced Cement based Composites

Download or read book Behavior Modeling and Impact of Bond in Steel Reinforced High performance Fiber reinforced Cement based Composites written by Matthew J. Bandelt and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-performance fiber-reinforced cement-based composites (HPFRCCs) are a class of cement-based materials that exhibit a psuedo strain-hardening behavior in uniaxial tension after first cracking, and retain residual strength in compression after crushing. The unique mechanical properties of HPFRCCs have led researchers to investigate their use in structural applications where damage tolerance and energy dissipation is needed. Research on structural applications of steel reinforced HPFRCCs members has shown enhanced damage tolerance, shear capacity, flexural strength, inelastic deformation capacity, and life cycle performance. Recent research has focused on the interaction between mild steel reinforcement and HPFRCCs for modeling and design purposes. When reinforced HPFRCCs have been subjected to direct tension, early strain hardening and reinforcement strain localization have been observed caused by short debonded lengths, as opposed to long debonded lengths in traditional reinforced concrete. Short debonded lengths caused the HPFRCC reinforcement to fracture at lower levels of specimen deformation compared to reinforced concrete. This recent research indicates that bond strength between reinforcement and HPFRCCs may be higher than that of traditional reinforced concrete. Additionally, reinforcement tensile strains may be an important consideration for design and modeling of reinforced HPFRCC structural components. In this dissertation, the bond behavior between steel reinforcement and HPFRCCs is presented through experimental testing and numerical simulations. Bond experiments were conducted under monotonic and cyclic loading conditions where the HPFRCC material surrounding the reinforcement was in a flexural tension stress state. Monotonic test results show that bond strengths are 37% higher, on average, in reinforced HPFRCCs than in reinforced concrete. Additionally, bond-slip toughness (i.e., the area under the bond stress versus reinforcement slip curve) is higher in reinforced HPFRCCs than in reinforced concrete. Cyclic bond-slip experiments were performed for two types of HPFRCCs and compared to monotonic behavior using beam-end specimens. Results show that bond deterioration occurs in HPFRCCs after the maximum bond stress is reached, causing bond stress to reduce by 60%, on average. The loss of bond capacity and bond-slip toughness is due to combined crushing and splitting of the interface. The effects of bond on structural performance are examined through a study on monotonic and cyclic performance of reinforced HPFRCC beam specimens with varying reinforcement ratios. It is shown that cyclic deformation histories can decrease deformation capacity by up to 67%. Unlike traditional reinforced concrete, deformation capacity of reinforced HPFRCCs is shown to increase with increasing longitudinal reinforcement ratio. Results show that the difference between monotonic and cyclic deformation capacity becomes smaller as reinforcement ratio increases. Suggestions are made for providing a moderate amount of reinforcement to take full of advantage of the HPFRCC material toughness and improve structural performance and deformation capacity. An interface bond-slip material model is proposed based on the experimental results to model the interaction between steel reinforcement and HPFRCC materials. Simulations with the proposed interface model are compared with perfect bond models in finite element simulations by comparing numerical and experimental responses of reinforced HPFRCC structural members. Simulations are conducted on reinforced HPFRCC components under monotonic and cyclic deformation histories, and on members with varying reinforcement ratios. Including the proposed interface material model reduces variability in simulated deformation capacity, and leads to a consistent response in terms of cracking patterns and deformation capacity. A methodology is proposed to predict reinforced HPFRCC deformation capacity by examining reinforcement strains, modeling the interface conditions, and implementing a cyclic fracture energy material parameter from test data. The dissertation concludes with suggestions for future research that can extend the work presented herein. Suggestions for future work include additional experimental, numerical, and design-related research.

Book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences

Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by W. H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac tivity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 24 (thesis year 1979) a total of 10,033 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 215 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 24 reports these submitted in 1979, on occasion, certain universities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Book Analytical Modeling of Reinforced Concrete in Tension

Download or read book Analytical Modeling of Reinforced Concrete in Tension written by L. Javier Malvar and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A smeared crack approach to fracture of concrete in mode I was implemented in the finite element program ADINA. Nonlinear concrete elements with tensile cracking were modified to include tensile strain softening. When an element at an integration point cracks, the stiffness perpendicular to the crack is reduced to zero and the tensile stress across it is set as a function of the crack opening. Equilibrium iterations were implemented to redistribute stress. Two- and three-dimensional models of a single edge notched beam in three-point bending were analyzed and compared to experimental results with good agreement. The analytical representation of mixed mode fracture was also addressed. The mechanisms of shear transfer across a crack were detailed, and the rough crack model, relating shear stress to crack opening, is presented with discussions on orientation of successive crack planes, tensorial invariance, and snap-back phenomena. Problems are identified with modeling bond at the concrete/reinforcement interface and its effect on crack patterns. Keywords: Fracture mechanisms; Crack propagation; Mixed mode; Shear; Bond tension; Softening; Fracture energy; ADINA computer programs. (SDW).

Book Bond of Reinforcemen Under Controlled Confinement

Download or read book Bond of Reinforcemen Under Controlled Confinement written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twelve specimens were tested to determine the local bond stress-slip characteristics of a No. 6 rebar embedded in a 3-inch diameter concrete cylinder. Radial confining stress around the concrete specimen and radial deformation were assumed to be fundamental variables, together with bond stress and slip, needed to properly describe the interface behavior. Configuration independent bond stress-slip, relationships for a short five-lug embedded length were obtained for various degrees of confining pressure. Maximum bond stresses could be increased almost threefold by increasing the confining stress from 500 to 4500 psi at the bar level. Two types of No. 6 bars with different deformations were investigated. In many reinforced concrete structures, the mode of failure is tensile cracking of the concrete. Where it is important to predict failure or severe damage, proper representation of bond is crucial. Principal gain from inclusion of actual bond-slip properties in the interface between steel rebar and concrete is a realistic prediction of cracking. The spacing, width, and extent of cracks in reinforced concrete are dependent on the assumed bond-slip characteristics. Critical Navy reinforced concrete structures, such as missile test cells and graving drydocks, are designed to withstand large deformations under severe blast and strong-motion earthquake loads. The development of design criteria for these structures requires evaluation of their response where severe deterioration of steel concrete interfaces takes place.
