Book Practitioners  Guide to Finite Element Modelling of Reinforced Concrete Structures

Download or read book Practitioners Guide to Finite Element Modelling of Reinforced Concrete Structures written by fib Fédération internationale du béton and published by fib Fédération internationale du béton. 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.

Download or read book Computational Modelling of Concrete and Concrete Structures written by Günther Meschke and published by CRC Press. 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.

Book Computational Structural Concrete

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.
