Book Reinforced Concrete Structures under Cyclic Loading

Download or read book Reinforced Concrete Structures under Cyclic Loading written by Farhad Aslani and published by Trans Tech Publications Ltd. This book was released on 2015-03-14 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental programs in laboratories give real results to identify nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structures but they are limited to knowledge of particular cases under restricted structural dimensions, sizes, shapes, loading and boundary conditions but the computational simulation approach has no limit to its application. Constitutive models are developed to simulate the dynamic nonlinear response of concrete and steel reinforcement subjected to cyclic loading varying randomly in magnitude. The behavior of structural concrete under monotonic loading is affected by important material aspects including cracking, crushing, tension stiffening, compression softening and bond slip. Reversed cyclic loading introduces further complexities such as stiffness degradation in concrete and the Bauschinger effect in reinforcing steel. In this research the validity and reliability of some proposed constitutive models for concrete considering general loading i.e. cyclic, monotonic, partial, common point and transition loading are evaluated. Amongst many existing constitutive models, because of their simplicity and common usage in the finite element analysis of RC structures, only some common proposed models based on nonlinear elasticity-based approach are investigated. These models are verified against experimental data available in the literature and the results are discussed. In this study, also, a hysteretic stress–strain model is developed for unconfined concrete with the intention of providing efficient modeling for the structural behavior of concrete in seismic regions. The proposed model is based on the findings of previous experimental and analytical studies. The model for concrete subjected to monotonic and cyclic loading, comprises four components in compression and tension; an envelope curve (for monotonic and cyclic loading), an unloading curve, a reloading curve, and transition curve. Also presented are formulations for partial unloading and partial reloading curves. The proposed Constitutive model reliability is investigated by RC members non-linear finite element analysis (FEM) using by finite element software ABAQUS. Comparisons with test results showed that the proposed model provides a good fit to a wide range of experimentally established hysteresis loops.

Book Compression Behavior  Strength  and Ductility of Confined Concrete After Inelastic Tensile Cyclic Loading

Download or read book Compression Behavior Strength and Ductility of Confined Concrete After Inelastic Tensile Cyclic Loading written by Mujahid Noor and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this investigation, confined concrete specimens were tested to study the effects of inelastic tensile cyclic loading of the longitudinal mild steel reinforcement embedded in a confined concrete core on the behavior, strength, and ductility of the confined concrete. Repeated inelastic tensile deformations of the longitudinal mild steel reinforcement bars inside the confined concrete core cause large cracks in the confined concrete. Whether these inelastic steel deformations and cracks in the concrete affect the compression behavior, strength, and ductility of the confined concrete is studied. The test specimens represent the critical confined concrete crushing height of the boundary zone confined concrete in a well-detailed reinforced concrete lateral-load-resisting wall. In this investigation, two identical 10 in. x 15 in. cross-section confined concrete test specimens were tested under two different ranges of quasi-static inelastic tensile cyclic loading. The first specimen was tested under increasing tensile cyclic loading up to 4 times the tensile yielding strain limit of the longitudinal mild steel reinforcement bars of the confined concrete core. Then, the specimen was failed under compression loading. The second specimen was tested under increasing tensile cyclic loading up to 16 times the tensile yielding strain limit of the longitudinal mild steel reinforcement bars of the confined concrete core. Then, the specimen was failed under compression loading. The test results for the two test specimens were compared to observe the effects of different levels of inelastic tensile cyclic loading of the longitudinal mild steel reinforcement bars inside the confined concrete. The test results were also compared with the theoretical results from previously developed confined concrete models under monotonic compression loading. These comparisons focused on the effects of tensile loading on the compression behavior, strength, and ductility of confined concrete under compression loading. The confined concrete compression behavior, strength, and ductility were similar for the two test specimens with the two different inelastic tensile cyclic loading ranges. The difference in peak compression strength was 4.5%. The axial force versus axial deformation curves for the two test specimens were similar. It was noted that after inelastic tensile deformation of the longitudinal mild steel reinforcement inside the confined concrete core, a compression load greater than the prior tensile load was required to close the cracks. In the inelastic tensile deformation load steps, the reversing compression strain in the reinforcement was small compared to the tensile strain. The compression stiffness and ductility of the confined concrete were not affected by inelastic tensile cyclic loading of the longitudinal mild steel reinforcement of the confined concrete core. There was a noticeable reduction in the compression strength of confined concrete. The peak compression strength of the confined concrete was smaller than the results of any of the theoretical confined concrete models that were considered.

Book Dynamic Behavior of Concrete Structures

Download or read book Dynamic Behavior of Concrete Structures written by Y.L. Mo and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with the dynamic behavior of reinforced/prestressed concrete structures, such as: buildings and bridges. It discusses how to predict or check the real inelastic behavior of concrete structures subjected to dynamic loads, including equipment loads, earthquake motions, seismic interactions and missile impacts. A number of techniques have recently been developed to assist in evaluating such occurrences. This book is intended to apply structural dynamics to concrete structures and is appropriate as a textbook for an introductory course in dynamic behavior of concrete structures at the upper-undergraduate or graduate level as well as for practicing engineers.

Book An Analytical Model for Uniaxial Cyclic Inelastic Behavior of Reinforced Concrete

Download or read book An Analytical Model for Uniaxial Cyclic Inelastic Behavior of Reinforced Concrete written by Sushil K. Sharma and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report presents an analytical model for uniaxial cyclic inelastic behavior of reinforced concrete. The model was synthesized from the analytical models for plain concrete and reinforcing steel. The parameters of the models were derived from extensive experimental data taken from the literature. Cyclic experimental tests on plain concrete and steel involving large inelastic strains were simulated by the plain concrete and reinforcing steel models; the experimental and analytical results showed close agreement.

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
