Book Dynamic Behaviour of Concrete Structures

Download or read book Dynamic Behaviour of Concrete Structures written by G. P. Tilly and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1986 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The engineering development of concrete structures has reached the stage where dynamic behaviour could be critical to design. Hitherto dynamic behaviour has been a preoccupation of steel designers because of the lighter weight, lower flexibility and lower damping of steel assemblages. Also steel has been used for the more demanding applications where there is less margin for error. However, this is now changing and with the introduction of higher strength materials and more advanced designs, concrete is becoming used in situations that would previously have been the preserve of steel. Designers, researchers and students will therefore find the publication of this volume particularly timely. It addresses the question of when to treat a design or analysis problem as being one of statics or dynamics. The fundamental principles of dynamic analysis of single- and multi-degree-of-freedom systems are explained and worked examples are given. Defined and explained are the different types of dynamic loading (mechanical plant, wind, waves and earthquakes) and the effects, structural fatigue, and human discomfort.

Book Understanding the Tensile Properties of Concrete

Download or read book Understanding the Tensile Properties of Concrete written by Jaap Weerheijm and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2024-03-01 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The response of concrete under tensile loading is crucial for most applications because concrete is much weaker in tension than in compression. Understanding the response mechanisms of concrete under tensile conditions is therefore key to understanding and using concrete in structural applications. Understanding the Tensile Properties of Concrete Second Edition summarises key recent research in this important subject area. After an introduction to concrete, the book is divided into two parts: part one on static response and part two on dynamic response. Part one starts with a summary chapter on the most important parameters that affect the tensile response of concrete. Chapters show how multi scale modelling is used to relate concrete composition to tensile properties. Part two focuses on dynamic response and starts with an introduction to the different regimes of dynamic loading, ranging from the low frequency loading by wind or earthquakes up to the extreme dynamic conditions due to explosions and ballistic impacts. Following chapters review dynamic testing techniques and devices that deal with the various regimes of dynamic loading. Later chapters highlight the dynamic behaviour of concrete from different viewpoints, and the book ends with a chapter on practical examples of how detailed knowledge on tensile properties is used by engineers in structural applications. Drawing on the work of some of the leading experts in the field, the book is fully updated and will be a valuable reference for civil and structural engineers as well as those researching this important material.

Book Time Dependent Behaviour of Concrete Structures

Download or read book Time Dependent Behaviour of Concrete Structures written by Raymond Ian Gilbert and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2010-09-15 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Serviceability failures of concrete structures involving excessive cracking or deflection are relatively common, even in structures that comply with code requirements. This is often as a result of a failure to adequately account for the time-dependent deformations of concrete in the design of the structure. The serviceability provisions embodied in codes of practice are relatively crude and, in some situations, unreliable and do not adequately model the in-service behaviour of structures. In particular, they fail to adequately account for the effects of creep and shrinkage of the concrete. Design for serviceability is complicated by the non-linear and inelastic behaviour of concrete at service loads. Providing detailed information, this book helps engineers to rationally predict the time-varying deformation of concrete structures under typical in-service conditions. It gives analytical methods to help anticipate time-dependent cracking, the gradual change in tension stiffening with time, creep induced deformations and the load independent strains caused by shrinkage and temperature changes. The calculation procedures are illustrated with many worked examples. A vital guide for practising engineers and advanced students of structural engineering on the design of concrete structures for serviceability and provides a penetrating insight into the time-dependent behaviour of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures.

Book Dynamic Properties of Concrete Under Multi axial Loading

Download or read book Dynamic Properties of Concrete Under Multi axial Loading written by Dongming Yan and published by Nova Biomedical Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large-scale concrete structures, such as long-span bridges, hydraulic dams, and high-rise buildings, have increasingly been exposed to multi-hazard environments in recent years. Understanding the behaviour of concrete under earthquake and blast loads becomes more urgent and important in the design of these engineering structures. This book examines the research significance and measurement for the dynamic properties of concrete at high strain rates. The mechanical parameters of concrete under uniaxial dynamic loading conditions were obtained and compared with the static properties that have been widely used in design codes.

Book Behavior of Concrete and Seismic Engineering

Download or read book Behavior of Concrete and Seismic Engineering written by and published by . This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design of concrete structures to endure extreme loading conditions from blast or projectile penetration entails the characterization of the material behavior under pertinent conditions and material models that can be used computationally for simulation and analysis. The lack of data and such constitutive models for concrete has posed a significant challenge to structure designers and material engineers. Concrete is a two-phase composite comprising mortar and aggregate. The aggregate serves as reinforcement and upsurges the effective strength and toughness of the overall composite. In recent years, the vibration of cracked structures subjected to dynamic loads has attracted more and more attentions of researchers, and many methods for analyzing the vibration were proposed. Dynamic Behavior of Concrete and Seismic Engineering covers experimental techniques in the study of the dynamic behavior of concrete, examines seismicity and seismic behavior, soil behavior, models of concrete structures subject to seismic activity. This book is intended to estimate the failure mechanism, hysteresis loops, displacement ductility, deterioration of strength and stiffness and energy dissipation of recycled concrete frames under low-reversed cyclic loading as well as the influence of different vertical loading. The nonlinear dynamic behavior of the pre-stressed concrete bridge with such a switching crack subjected to moving trains is investigated. Pre-stressed concrete bridges have found wide applications in railway engineering in recent years. Various studies over the last decade have shown that a structure with such cracks exhibits nonlinear dynamic behavior, and its safety and serviceability are seriously affected. So it is essential to study the vibration of the pre-stressed concrete bridge with such cracks under moving trains. This book is aimed at discovering the dynamic properties of concrete and cement-paste specimens representing the structural material and its adhesive component, and attempts to provide a modest characterization of the physical behavior of these materials on a macroscopic basis.
