Book excerpt: The report describes the theory, development, and application of the finite element technique to a computer analysis of reinforced concrete structural members. The analysis is applicalbe to both axisymmetric and planar structures and represents a significant improvement over previous analyses. The analysis accounts for the nonlinear behavior of concrete (in bi-axial stress states), concrete-steel bond, and steel (i.e., elastic-plastic response). The program predicts the states of stress and strain for the concrete, reinforcement and the bond existing between the two. Furthermore the program predicts the initiation and propagation of cracks in the concrete. (Author).

This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book details the theory and applications of finite element (FE) modeling of post-tensioned (PT) concrete structures, and provides the updated MATLAB code (as of 2019). The challenge of modeling PT prestressed concrete structures lies in the treatment of the interface between the concrete and prestressing tendons. Using MATLAB, this study develops an innovative nonlinear FE formulation which incorporates contact techniques and engineering elements to considerably reduce the need of computational power. This FE formulation has the ability to simulate different PT frame systems with fully bonded, fully unbonded or partially bonded tendons, as well as actual sliding behavior and frictional effects in the tendons. It also allows for the accurate simulation of anchor seating loss.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled POST-CRACK AND POST-PEAK BEHAVIOR OF REINFORCED CONCRETE MEMBERS BY NONLINEAR FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS Submitted by Wu Yi for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in September 2006 This thesis investigates the post-crack and post-peak behavior of reinforced concrete members by using finite element analysis. To achieve this, a finite element code with displacement controlled iterative scheme is developed. The finite element code is able to represent the complete load-deflection curve of reinforced concrete member from the initial loading stage till the post-peak stage. Bond-slip interaction between concrete and longitudinal reinforcement is included. To validate the finite element code, experiments of reinforced concrete members with different longitudinal reinforcement, web reinforcement, concrete strength and axial compression are studied. Case studies show that if the bond-slip is neglected in the finite element analysis, the predicted load-deflection curve and crack pattern will give less accuracy. A study of the mesh size-effect of concrete element shows that the mesh should be fine enough in order to give better prediction. By including the bond element and using proper element size, the results show that the proposed finite element code gives a good description of the behavior of reinforced concrete members, including crack patterns and the load-deflection responses. i By using this finite element code, reinforced concrete beams with different concrete grade, steel ratio are studied to investigate the post-crack behavior of reinforced concrete members. The analysis demonstrates that the predicted load will be under-estimated after the concrete has cracked if the tension-stiffening effect is neglected in the section analysis. Based on the results obtained from the finite element analysis, three new concrete stress distribution blocks are proposed. Compared with the current design codes in which the contribution of cracked concrete in tension is simply neglected or other far more complicated methods proposed for the finite element analysis, the tension-stiffening effect can be taken into account in a simple manner in the proposed models for the section analysis of reinforced concrete beams. Several classic reinforced beams are adopted to validate the proposed models. The results show that the proposed models give a good description of the load-deflection behavior of the reinforced concrete members for cracked concrete. In the investigation of the post-peak behavior of reinforced concrete beams, it is found that beyond the ultimate strength, the strain reversal history of longitudinal reinforcement has significant effects on the load-deflection behavior of the member. The predicted load may be over-estimated for an under-reinforced concrete beam when the strain reversal history of longitudinal reinforcement is neglected. It is therefore suggested that the strain history effect should be included for more accurate prediction of the post-peak load-deflection curves of reinforced concrete members. The variation of curvature along the beam length is also investigated. It is shown that the phenomenon of curvature reversal occurs at the post-peak stage for over- reinforced concrete sections in a simply supported beam that is subjected to concen

This book was released on 2012 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work presents the theoretical basis of Additional Finite Element Method (AFEM), which is a variant of the Finite Element Method (FEM) for analysis of reinforced concrete structures at limit state. AFEM adds to the traditional sequence of problem by FEM the units of the two well-known methods of the structural design: method of additional loads and limit state method. The problem is solved by introduction of ideal failure models and additional design diagrams formed from additional finite elements, where each AFE describes the limit state reached by the main element. The main relations defining the properties of AFEs as well as the examples of the use of Additional Finite Element Method for analysis of reinforced concrete structures at limit state are given in the work too.

This book was released on 2022-05-22 with total page 1500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computational Modelling of Concrete and Concrete Structures contains the contributions to the EURO-C 2022 conference (Vienna, Austria, 23-26 May 2022). The papers review and discuss research advancements and assess the applicability and robustness of methods and models for the analysis and design of concrete, fibre-reinforced and prestressed concrete structures, as well as masonry structures. Recent developments include methods of machine learning, novel discretisation methods, probabilistic models, and consideration of a growing number of micro-structural aspects in multi-scale and multi-physics settings. In addition, trends towards the material scale with new fibres and 3D printable concretes, and life-cycle oriented models for ageing and durability of existing and new concrete infrastructure are clearly visible. Overall computational robustness of numerical predictions and mathematical rigour have further increased, accompanied by careful model validation based on respective experimental programmes. The book will serve as an important reference for both academics and professionals, stimulating new research directions in the field of computational modelling of concrete and its application to the analysis of concrete structures. EURO-C 2022 is the eighth edition of the EURO-C conference series after Innsbruck 1994, Bad Gastein 1998, St. Johann im Pongau 2003, Mayrhofen 2006, Schladming 2010, St. Anton am Arlberg 2014, and Bad Hofgastein 2018.

This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-linear computer analysis methods have seen remarkable advancement in the last half-century. The state-of-the-art in non-linear finite element analysis of reinforced concrete has progressed to the point where such procedures are close to being practical, every-day tools for design office engineers. Non-linear computer analysis procedures can be used to provide reliable assessments of the strength and integrity of damaged or deteriorated structures, or of structures built to previous codes, standards or practices deemed to be deficient today. They can serve as valuable tools in assessing the expected behaviour from retrofitted structures, or in investigating and rationally selecting amongst various repair alternatives. fib Bulletin 45 provides an overview of current concepts and techniques relating to computer-based finite element modelling of structural concrete. It summarises the basic knowledge required for use of nonlinear analysis methods as applied to practical design, construction and maintenance of concrete structures, and attempts to provide a diverse and balanced portrayal of the current technical knowledge, recognizing that there are often competing and conflicting viewpoints. This report does not give advice on picking one model over another but, rather, provides guidance to designers on how to use existing and future models as tools in design practice, in benchmarking of their models against established and reliable test data and in selecting an appropriate safety factor as well as recognising various pitfalls. fib Bulletin 45 is intended for practicing engineers, and therefore focuses more on practical application and less on the subtleties of constitutive modelling.
