This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A simple semi-empirical set of equations was developed at the University of Houston (UH) to predict the shear strength of PC I-girders with normal-strength concrete. The UH-developed equation is a function of concrete strength, web area, shear span to effective depth ratio, and percentage of transverse steel. This research intends to validate or modify the UH-developed equation for (1) high-strength concrete and (2) different sizes of PC girders and studying the possibility of premature failure due to local failure in end zone. Ten modified Tx28 PC girders, derived by scaling down an existing TxDOT cross section, were tested in this study for the first objective. The girders were divided into three groups (Groups A, C and F) based on the concrete strength. Each group of the PC girders was tested with different shear span to effective depth ratio. The validity of the proposed UH-developed equations was ascertained using the experimental results. It was found able to predict accurately the ultimate shear strength of PC girders with concrete strength up to 117 MPa (17,000 psi) with enough ductility. Six PC girders of Tx-series with three different sizes were tested for the second objective. The girders were divided into three groups (Groups D, E and G) based on the girder depth. The experimental results ensured the validity of the UH-developed equations for PC girders with different sizes. Also, the experimental data showed that the PC girders of the new Tx-series can reach the maximum shear capacity without a shear-bond failure. The results of testing the 10 modified Tx-28 girders were used to validate a finite element program developed at UH, Simulation of Concrete Structures (SCS), for PC girders with different concrete strength. Analytical results presented in this dissertation proved the validity of SCS to predict the behavior of PC girders with different concrete strength up to 117 MPa (17,000 psi).

This book was released on 2007 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the measured test results, an analytical model, Crack Displacement Field Theory (CDFT), was developed for predicting the shear response of prestressed/reinforced concrete members. Compared to other existing models, it could capture the discrete displacement due to crack opening and crack slip along crack surface and can take account the variation of stresses in reinforcement due to bond. Good agreements were achieved between the model predictions and test results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected chapters from the German concrete yearbook are now being published in the new English "Beton-Kalender Series" for the benefit of an international audience. Since it was founded in 1906, the Ernst & Sohn "Beton-Kalender" has been supporting developments in reinforced and prestressed concrete. The aim was to publish a yearbook to reflect progress in "ferro-concrete" structures until - as the book's first editor, Fritz von Emperger (1862-1942), expressed it - the "tempestuous development" in this form of construction came to an end. However, the "Beton-Kalender" quickly became the chosen work of reference for civil and structural engineers, and apart from the years 1945-1950 has been published annually ever since. Ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) is a milestone in concrete technology and application. It permits the construction of both more slender and more durable concrete structures with a prolonged service life and thus improved sustainability. This book is a comprehensive overview of UHPC - from the principles behind its production and its mechanical properties to design and detailing aspects. The focus is on the material behaviour of steel fibre-reinforced UHPC. Numerical modelling and detailing of the connections with reinforced concrete elements are featured as well. Numerous examples worldwide - bridges, columns, facades and roofs - are the basis for additional explanations about the benefits of UHPC and how it helps to realise several architectural requirements. The authors are extensively involved in the testing, design, construction and monitoring of UHPC structures. What they provide here is therefore a unique synopsis of the state of the art with a view to practical applications.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As the nation's infrastructure continues to age, advanced concrete technologies have been developed to both reduce a structure's costs and increase its life expectancy. Since the early 1990's, self-consolidating concrete (SCC) has been one of these technologies. Many, however, have been reluctant to implement SCC in highway girders due to the mixture constituents. One of these concerns is the reduced content and size of the coarse aggregate. These differences in the concrete potentially hinder SCC's mechanical properties and shear resistance. Additionally, for high strength concretes (HSC) with weaker aggregates, shear cracks tend to propagate through the coarse aggregate, reducing the aggregate interlock component of the shear resistance. This study aimed at assessing the web-shear strength both with and without web reinforcement of two precast-prestressed Nebraska University (NU) 53 girders fabricated with high strength self-consolidating concrete (HS-SCC). The results were compared to the ACI 318 (2011) and AASHTO LRFD (2012) code estimates, and a finite element model (FEM) package, Response 2000. ATENA Engineering, a finite element analysis (FEA) program, was also used to evaluate the qualitative results, specifically crack patterns and the effect of the coarse aggregate content and size. A prestressed concrete database was also constructed to assess the effect of the reduced coarse aggregate content on the shear capacity of HS-SCC in prestressed concrete members. The mechanical properties of the HS-SCC mix were also tested and compared to relevant empirical equations. The HS-SCC mix investigated in this study proves to be a viable cost-saving alternative for bridge superstructure elements"--Abstract, page iii.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Implementation of the spliced girder technology in bridges has been growing in recent years. Increased girder lengths can now be realized by splicing shorter precast segments to produce a long span. The research conducted in this dissertation is focused on an evaluation of spliced girders using a three dimensional finite element analysis. The project consisted of a series of tests that were conducted in two phases. In Phase I, the effect of post-tensioning ducts on the shear behavior and strength of prestressed concrete girders was evaluated. In Phase II, the focus was on the behavior of cast-in-place splice regions between precast segments. Since a limited number of full scale beams could be tested, a three-dimensional advanced finite element program is an effective alternative to expensive tests. The parameters considered were grout to girder concrete strength ratio, splice to girder concrete strength ratio, concrete shear key detailing, coupler diameter, duct to web width ratio, shear span to depth ratio, and concrete shrinkage losses. The findings are described in detail. Using the experimental and analytical results, it was found that the grout to concrete strength ratio for grouted ducts should not to be less than 0.3. The effect of increasing the duct diameter to web width ratio from 0.43 to 0.57 was minimal. Splice to girder concrete strength ratio should be greater than 0.6. The addition of a shear key had no effect on the shear capacity of the girder. The coupler diameter in the splice region had no effect on the behavior of the spliced girder for coupler diameter to web width ratio up to 0.55. Including concrete shrinkage in the analysis slightly improved the correlation with observed response.

Download or read book Computational Modeling of Prestress Transfer End region Cracks and Shear Behavior in Prestressed Concrete I girders Employing Large diameter Strands written by Roya Alirezaei Abyaneh and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prestressed concrete girders are commonly fabricated with 0.5-in. (12.7-mm) or 0.6-in. (15.2-mm) diameter prestressing strands. Recent interest in the use of larger (0.7-in. (17.8-mm) diameter) strands has been driven by potential benefits associated with reduction of the required number of strands and fabrication time, or potential increases in the workable range of prestressed concrete girders (i.e., greater capacities and span capabilities). A limited number of experiments on full-scale specimens with 0.7-in. (17.8-mm) diameter strands have shown that the load-carrying capacity and strand transfer length of specimens with 0.7-in. (17.8-mm) diameter strands can be conservatively estimated using existing AASHTO LRFD provisions. However, performance at prestress transfer requires further investigation to ensure that application of the strands with standard 2-in. (50-mm) spacing and conventional concrete release strength does not increase the end-region cracking that is characteristic of prestressed girders. It must be verified that the development of such cracks does not stimulate anchorage-driven or premature shear failures prior to yielding of the shear reinforcement. Previous research lacks in monitoring of reinforcement stresses and evaluation of end-region cracking which has long been a durability concern. A reliable finite element model that captures the behavior of the specimen at prestress transfer with consideration of performance from construction stages, over the course of the service life, and up to the ultimate limit state can provide key insight into the suitability of using of 0.7-in. (17.8-mm) diameter strands. Further, it could serve as an economical tool for the investigation and proposal of efficient end-region reinforcing details to reduce concrete cracking and enhance durability. Finite element analyses of prestressed I-girder end-regions encompassing cracking and long-term creep- and shrinkage-induced damage, especially in girders fabricated with large diameter strands, have been limited. This research program assessed the limitations of 0.7-in. (17.8-mm) diameter strands at prestress transfer up to limit state response and investigated measures for enhancing the serviceability of the girders through finite element analyses using the commercial software, ATENA 3D. The finite element study was complemented with a full-scale experimental program which was used to validate the numerical results. This paper lays out a validated procedure for modeling the construction stages of prestressed girders and load testing. The model was then used as a tool for investigating alternative end-region reinforcement details for improved end-region serviceability. The most promising options are presented for consideration in further experimental studies and future implementation
