Download or read book Computational Structural Concrete written by Ulrich Häussler-Combe and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-09-22 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beton ist aufgrund seiner Vorteile der mit Abstand meistverwendete Baustoff: er ist formbar, preiswert und überall verfügbar. Kombiniert mit Bewehrung bietet dies eine immense Bandbreite an Eigenschaften und kann für eine Vielzahl von Zwecken angepasst werden. Damit ist Beton der Baustoff des 20. Jahrhunderts. Um der Baustoff des 21. Jahrhunderts zu sein, muss seine Nachhaltigkeit in den Fokus rücken. Bewehrte Betonkonstruktionen müssen mit geringerem Materialaufwand konstruiert werden, wobei ihr Tragfähigkeitspotential optimal ausgeschöpft werden muss. Computergestützte Methoden wie die Finite-Elemente-Methode (FEM) bieten wesentliche Werkzeuge, um das Ziel zu erreichen. In Kombination mit experimenteller Validierung ermöglichen sie ein tieferes Verständnis der Tragmechanismen. Im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Ansätzen kann eine realistischere Abschätzung der Grenzzustände der Tragfähigkeit und der Gebrauchstauglichkeit erreicht werden. Dies ermöglicht eine deutlich verbesserte Ausnutzung der Baustoffe. Damit eröffnet sich auch ein weiterer Horizont für innovative Tragwerksentwürfe. Anspruchsvolle numerische Rechenverfahren werden aber in der Regel als "Black Boxes" bereitgestellt. Daten werden eingegeben, die Ausgaben ungeprüft übernommen, aber das Verständnis für die dazwischenliegenden Schritte ist oft rudimentär. Dies birgt die Gefahr von Fehlinterpretationen, um nicht zu sagen ungültigen Ergebnissen im Vergleich zu den getroffenen Problemdefinitionen. Das Risiko ist insbesondere bei nichtlinearen Problemen hoch. Bewehrter Beton weist als Verbundmaterial in seinen Grenzzuständen ein nichtlineares Verhalten auf, verursacht durch Verbund und nichtlineare Eigenschaften seiner Bestandteile. Seine Rissbildung ist ein reguläres Verhalten. In diesem Buch werden die Mechanismen des bewehrten Betons unter dem Blickwinkel numerischer Methoden aufgezeigt. So sollen auch "Black Boxes" transparent werden. Das Buch beschreibt entsprechende Methoden für Balken, Scheiben, Platten und Schalen im Rahmen von Quasi-Statik und Dynamik. Betonkriechen, Temperatureinwirkungen, Vorspannung, große Verformungen werden beispielhaft behandelt. Weiterhin werden aktuelle Materialmodelle für Beton dargestellt. Dabei werden sowohl die Möglichkeiten als auch die Fallstricke numerischer Methoden aufgezeigt. Die Theorie wird durch eine Vielzahl von Beispielen veranschaulicht. Die meisten von ihnen werden mit dem in Python implementierten und unter Open-Source-Bedingungen verfügbaren Softwarepaket ConFem durchgeführt.

Download or read book Strength and Deformations of Structural Concrete Subjected to In Plane Shear and Normal Forces written by Walter Kaufmann and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2013-12-11 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present doctoral thesis was developed within the framework of the research project "Deformation Capacity of Structural Concrete". This project aims at developing a consistent and experimentally verified theory of the deformation capacity of structural concrete. Previous work included the development of a theoretical model, the so-called Tension Chord Model, which allows a comprehensive description of the load-deforma tion behaviour of tension members in non-prestressed and prestressed concrete struc tures. The present work focuses on a new theoretical model, the so-called Cracked Mem brane Model. For members subjected to in-plane forces this new model combines the ba sic concepts of the modified compression field theory and the tension chord model. Crack spacings and tension stiffening effects in cracked membranes are determined from first principles and the link to plasticity theory methods is maintained since equilibrium conditions are formulated in terms of stresses at the cracks rather than average stresses between the cracks. The research project "Deformation Capacity of Structural Concrete" has been funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Association of the Swiss Cement Pro ducers. This support is gratefully acknowledged. Zurich, July 1998 Prof. Dr. Peter Marti Abstract This thesis aims at contributing to a better understanding of the load-carrying and defor mational behaviour of structural concrete subjected to in-plane shear and normal forces.

Book excerpt: Advances in Engineering Materials, Structures and Systems: Innovations, Mechanics and Applications comprises 411 papers that were presented at SEMC 2019, the Seventh International Conference on Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Computation, held in Cape Town, South Africa, from 2 to 4 September 2019. The subject matter reflects the broad scope of SEMC conferences, and covers a wide variety of engineering materials (both traditional and innovative) and many types of structures. The many topics featured in these Proceedings can be classified into six broad categories that deal with: (i) the mechanics of materials and fluids (elasticity, plasticity, flow through porous media, fluid dynamics, fracture, fatigue, damage, delamination, corrosion, bond, creep, shrinkage, etc); (ii) the mechanics of structures and systems (structural dynamics, vibration, seismic response, soil-structure interaction, fluid-structure interaction, response to blast and impact, response to fire, structural stability, buckling, collapse behaviour); (iii) the numerical modelling and experimental testing of materials and structures (numerical methods, simulation techniques, multi-scale modelling, computational modelling, laboratory testing, field testing, experimental measurements); (iv) innovations and special structures (nanostructures, adaptive structures, smart structures, composite structures, bio-inspired structures, shell structures, membranes, space structures, lightweight structures, long-span structures, tall buildings, wind turbines, etc); (v) design in traditional engineering materials (steel, concrete, steel-concrete composite, aluminium, masonry, timber, glass); (vi) the process of structural engineering (conceptualisation, planning, analysis, design, optimization, construction, assembly, manufacture, testing, maintenance, monitoring, assessment, repair, strengthening, retrofitting, decommissioning). The SEMC 2019 Proceedings will be of interest to civil, structural, mechanical, marine and aerospace engineers. Researchers, developers, practitioners and academics in these disciplines will find them useful. Two versions of the papers are available. Short versions, intended to be concise but self-contained summaries of the full papers, are in this printed book. The full versions of the papers are in the e-book.
