This book was released on 2020 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bond of reinforcement has a major influence on the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Even though bond has been extensively studied over the past decades, there are still a number of knowledge gaps requiring investigation. This dissertation presents three studies related to the basic bond behavior of reinforcement and the influence of bond-slip on the seismic response of RC columns. The first investigation characterizes the bond behavior of iron-based shape-memory alloy (Fe-SMA) bars. Fe-SMA reinforcement provides new opportunities for design and strengthening of concrete structures thanks to their shape memory effect. However, there is currently little data on its bond performance. Experiments were conducted to study the bond-slip behavior of ribbed Fe-SMA bars embedded in concrete specimens with different levels of passive confinement. Fe-SMA bars presented a similar bond performance as conventional reinforcement, but their bond strength was reduced with heat activation in low-confined specimens. An analytical model is also proposed to calculate the transfer length of Fe-SMA bars in prestressing applications. The second investigation proposes nonlinear finite element models to accurately simulate the cyclic response of RC columns, including the effect of bond-slip. Concrete is modeled using a triaxial constitutive model recently proposed in the literature. A commonly used uniaxial steel model is modified to account for low-cycle fatigue rupture using a phenomenological criterion. The bond-slip behavior of bars is modeled using a zero-thickness interface element and a bond stress-slip law that predicts bond deterioration caused by generalized slip demands, tensile yielding of steel, and concrete damage. The proposed models accurately predict the cyclic response and failure of previously tested column components. The third investigation focuses on the effects of strain penetration and bond modification on the lateral response of RC columns. Two large-scale column specimens were tested under cyclic loading. One specimen had conventional reinforcement details, while the other had headed bars that were partially debonded along the footing to alleviate strain concentrations. Both specimens formed plastic hinges and failed due to rupture of longitudinal bars. The specimen with partial debonding presented less damage and a larger deformation capacity. Experimental data indicated that the debonding strategy reduced peak tensile strains, and increased bar slip and fixed-end rotations. However, it also reduced the lateral load resistance of the column. Companion finite element analyses have indicated that the reduction in peak lateral strength is caused by lower steel stress demands when concrete cover fails

Book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences

Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity 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 con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional 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 Cor poration 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 32 (thesis year 1987) a total of 12,483 theses titles from 22 Canadian and 176 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 32 reports theses submitted in 1987, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Federation for Structural Concrete (fib) is a pre-normative organization. 'Pre-normative' implies pioneering work in codification. This work has now been realized with the fib Model Code 2010. The objectives of the fib Model Code 2010 are to serve as a basis for future codes for concrete structures, and present new developments with regard to concrete structures, structural materials and new ideas in order to achieve optimum behaviour. The fib Model Code 2010 is now the most comprehensive code on concrete structures, including their complete life cycle: conceptual design, dimensioning, construction, conservation and dismantlement. It is expected to become an important document for both national and international code committees, practitioners and researchers. The fib Model Code 2010 was produced during the last ten years through an exceptional effort by Joost Walraven (Convener; Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands), Agnieszka Bigaj-van Vliet (Technical Secretary; TNO Built Environment and Geosciences, The Netherlands) as well as experts out of 44 countries from five continents.

Book Probabilistic Characterization of Bond Behavior at Rebar Concrete Interface in Corroded RC Structures

Download or read book Probabilistic Characterization of Bond Behavior at Rebar Concrete Interface in Corroded RC Structures written by Ahmad Soraghi and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adequate rebar-concrete bonding is crucial to ensure the reliable performance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Many factors (such as the concrete properties, concrete cover depth, transverse reinforcement, and the presence of corrosion) affect the bond behavior, and consequently the structural performance. This bond behavior is typically described by a bond stress-slip relationship, where there are two critical quantities: bond strength ̶ the maximum shear stress that bond can withstand, and peak slip ̶ the slippage at the interface when the bond strength is reached. It is understood that the bond deteriorates when corrosion is present and behaves differently under two distinct bond failure modes (i.e., splitting and pull-out). While many prior studies have focused on the influence of the aforementioned factors on the bond strength, the impact of the failure mode coupled with corrosion on the bond stress-slip relationship and structural performance have not been thoroughly investigated. This study is aimed to address this issue. In this study, first a probabilistic bond failure mode prediction model that considers various influencing factors including loading type and corrosion is developed in this study. This study uses the bond testing results of 132 beam-end specimens subjected to monotonic and cyclic loading and adopts classification methods to develop the prediction model, which is then used to evaluate the impact of bond behavior on the reliability of a RC beam with a lap splice. Then, multivariate nonlinear regression with all-possible subset model selection and symbolic multi-gene regression are adopted for probabilistic model development for bond strength and peak slip under the two bond failure modes considering corrosion. In particular, a comprehensive bond dataset collected from bond tests on the beam and beam-end specimens in the literature and from the experimental testing conducted in this study, and a criterion to specify the bond failure mode is also proposed. Next, incorporating bond in the structural analysis is investigated. Since in reality, perfect bonding does not exist, especially in beam and column or column and footing connections, reinforcement slip occurs as a result of imperfect bonding. Reinforcement slip in the footing of a RC column can significantly influence the lateral displacement of the column, a critical structural response under lateral loads such as seismic loading. Many past researchers studied and developed models to capture the anchorage slip of rebar; however, a model that can reflect the actual bond-slip relationship (especially in the presence of corrosion) and yet be simple-to-use for structural analysis is not well developed. In this study, a new simple bar stress-slip macromodel is developed to predict reinforcement anchorage slip given a rebar stress. The proposed rebar anchorage slip model is derived by implementing a macromodel solution based on a simple bond stress distribution function that captures the bond stress distribution numerically obtained from a real bond-slip relationship. Available experimental bond stress-slip data collected from literature are used to optimize the model parameter in the proposed bond stress distribution function, which reflects the impact of the structural parameters on the rebar slippage such as concrete strength and corrosion level. The proposed rebar slip model is then incorporated into a fiber beam-column model for numerical analysis, and is further validated by comparing flexural behavior of several RC columns (with and without corrosion) based on the numerical model with the experimental data. The results demonstrate the importance of incorporating rebar slippage and corrosion effect on bond. Using this fiber beam-column model, seismic performance of an example RC bridge column is evaluated, and one can conclude the rebar slip plays a critical role in the seismic evaluation. As the proposed rebar slip macromodel provides simple formulation and it is explicitly expressed with a model parameter that can be updated easily to incorporate new information, it is practical for application in the structural analysis.
