Book Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Deep Beams Having Large Square Openings in Shear Zone with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer  CFRP  Wrap

Download or read book Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Deep Beams Having Large Square Openings in Shear Zone with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer CFRP Wrap written by Kin Mun Ng and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Typically, the reinforced concrete (RC) deep beam with large openings are facing some severe problems such as the interruption of natural load transfer by concrete struts acting in compression which can cause an intensive reduction in strength; and the clearly visible cracks in serviceability conditions. The CFRP has become an alternative solution to this issue and being extensively used as an external reinforcement to resolve the strength requirements in structural systems due to extremely strong yet light weight, outstanding fatigue properties, excellent corrosion resistance and easy yet efficient application on concrete. This experimental study is focuses on the investigation of the effect of CFRP wrap in strengthening RC deep beams with large square openings located in shear zone. Three approaches are under consideration; the first is the determination of natural load transfer in normal deep beam without opening, the second is the large square openings in deep beam without CFRP strengthening, and the third is the large square openings in deep beam with CFRP attached around the openings. A total of four RC deep beams which included a solid RC control beam, a deep beam with two large square openings, and two beams with two large square openings strengthened by using CFRP strips in different strengthening configurations, were tested to failure under four point loading to determine the relative structural behaviour such as ultimate load, failure mode, crack patterns, and load deflection behaviour. All RC deep beams were designed in a dimension of 120 x 600 mm and 2400 mm in length. The width and height of large square openings were in a dimension of 270 x 270 mm and located 300 mm from the edge of the deep beam. The loading point and support were located at 800 mm and 300 mm from the edge of the deep beam, respectively. RC deep beam with large square openings, US-BSO was significantly reduced the beam capacity by 61.76 % as compared to solid control beam, CB. However, the RC deep beam with large square openings strengthened by CFRP strips wrapped in U-shaped, SU-BSO has increases the beam capacity by 62.77 % compared to US-BSO. From the results obtained, it was found that the most effective CFRP strengthening method for RC deep beam with large square openings was U-shaped, which recovered the beam capacity up to 62.24 % as compared to solid control beam.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quality and testing of materials used in construction are covered by reference to the appropriate ASTM standard specifications. Welding of reinforcement is covered by reference to the appropriate AWS standard. Uses of the Code include adoption by reference in general building codes, and earlier editions have been widely used in this manner. The Code is written in a format that allows such reference without change to its language. Therefore, background details or suggestions for carrying out the requirements or intent of the Code portion cannot be included. The Commentary is provided for this purpose. Some of the considerations of the committee in developing the Code portion are discussed within the Commentary, with emphasis given to the explanation of new or revised provisions. Much of the research data referenced in preparing the Code is cited for the user desiring to study individual questions in greater detail. Other documents that provide suggestions for carrying out the requirements of the Code are also cited.

Book Effect of Opening with Various Size and Location on RC Deep Beam

Download or read book Effect of Opening with Various Size and Location on RC Deep Beam written by Sin Yang Siow and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is about analysis of the behaviour of the reinforced concrete deep beam with different sizes of opening and different location of the opening by using ANSYS. The opening on RC deep beam is made for the mechanical and electrical purposes. Before the opening is made, it is important to know the optimum size and its location in order to prevent structural failure. The main objective of this study is to determine the effect of the opening size and its location on the reinforced concrete deep beam in terms of crack pattern and deflection. The study is conducted by using ANSYS 12.0. In this study, there are 7 models. There is one solid beam (DBS), three beams with different size of opening namely DBO1, DBO2 and DBO3, and three beams with opening but different location were designated as DBL1, DBL2 and DBL3. The three point test was used for the analysis. The loading used for the analysis is axial load. The deflection and the crack pattern obtained from the ANSYS were used for discussion. Based on the result, the deflection of the RC deep beam was increase in 31.2% as the opening size increase in 60%. For the different location of opening, as the location of opening move from 350mm to centre of the RC deep beam, the deflection of the RC deep beam was increased in 31.8%. In conclusion, the most appropriate location of the opening on RC deep beam is the place where far away from the loading.

Book Reliability of Structures  Second Edition

Download or read book Reliability of Structures Second Edition written by Andrzej S. Nowak and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2012-12-20 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reliability of Structures enables both students and practising engineers to appreciate how to value and handle reliability as an important dimension of structural design. It discusses the concepts of limit states and limit state functions, and presents methodologies for calculating reliability indices and calibrating partial safety factors. It also supplies information on the probability distributions and parameters used to characterize both applied loads and member resistances. This revised and extended second edition contains more discussions of US and international codes and the issues underlying their development. There is significant revision and expansion of the discussion on Monte Carlo simulation, along with more examples. The book serves as a textbook for a one-semester course for advanced undergraduates or graduate students, or as a reference and guide to consulting structural engineers. Its emphasis is on the practical applications of structural reliability theory rather than the theory itself. Consequently, probability theory is treated as a tool, and enough is given to show the novice reader how to calculate reliability. Some background in structural engineering and structural mechanics is assumed. A solutions manual is available upon qualifying course adoption.
