为跟踪无粘结预应力混凝土梁的全过程响应,建立了一种基于法平面弧长算法的有限元模型。该算法能较好地处理梁加载过程的响应变化,可穿越梁破坏前可能出现的极值点问题。设计了7根含有不同非预应力筋配筋率的无粘结预应力混凝土梁,利用提出的数值模型对这些梁进行非线性全过程分析。分析结果表明,没有配置受拉区非预应力筋的无粘结预应力混凝土梁的弯曲性能非常不理想,在梁内配置少量的受拉区非预应力筋,能极大改善梁的性能;随着非预应力筋配筋率的提高,无粘结部分预应力混凝土梁的开裂刚度和极限承载能力有显著提高,而后弹性挠度以及无粘结预应力筋极限应力则明显降低。     

A finite element assessment of flexural strength of prestressed concrete beams with fiber reinforcement

This paper presents an assessment of the flexural behavior of 15 fully/partially prestressed high strength concrete beams containing steel fibers investigated using three-dimensional nonlinear finite elemental analysis. The experimental results consisted of eight fully and seven partially prestressed beams, which were designed to be flexure dominant in the absence of fibers. The main parameters varied in the tests were: the levels of prestressing force (i.e, in partially prestressed beams 50% of the prestress was reduced with the introduction of two high strength deformed bars instead), fiber volume fractions (0%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5%), fiber location (full depth and partial depth over full length and half the depth over the shear span only). A three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis was conducted using ANSYS 5.5 [Theory Reference Manual. In: Kohnke P, editor. Elements Reference Manual. 8th ed. September 1998] general purpose finite element software to study the flexural behavior of both fully and partially prestressed fiber reinforced concrete beams. Influence of fibers on the concrete failure surface and stress–strain response of high strength concrete and the nonlinear stress–strain curves of prestressing wire and deformed bar were considered in the present analysis. In the finite element model, tension stiffening and bond slip between concrete and reinforcement (fibers, prestressing wire, and conventional reinforcing steel bar) have also been considered explicitly. The fraction of the entire volume of the fiber present along the longitudinal axis of the prestressed beams alone has been modeled explicitly as it is expected that these fibers would contribute to the mobilization of forces required to sustain the applied loads across the crack interfaces through their bridging action. A comparison of results from both tests and analysis on all 15 specimens confirm that, inclusion of fibers over a partial depth in the tensile side of the prestressed flexural structural members was economical and led to considerable cost saving without sacrificing on the desired performance. However, beams having fibers over half the depth in only the shear span, did not show any increase in the ultimate load or deformational characteristics when compared to plain concrete beams.     

Studies on ductility and evaluation of minimum flexural reinforcement in RC beams

Some experimental investigations on ductility and prediction of minimum flexural reinforcement in reinforced concrete (RC) beams are reported. The minimum flexural reinforcement was evaluated using optimum ductility in RC beams. Beams of size 100 mm, 200 mm and 400 mm were tested, which were designed with varying percentages of flexural reinforcement i.e. 0.15, 0.30, 0.60 and 1.0. The beams were tested under four-point loading to study the flexural behaviour under uniform bending moment. The experimentally obtained average compressive strength of concrete was 30 MPa. The influence of beam size (depth) on cracking and normalised ultimate flexural strength, ductility and overall average rotation has been studied. The cracking in RC beams is complex phenomenon in small size beams, while the cracking strength decreases as the depth increases beyond 200 mm. The flexural strength of RC beams, from the present study, appears to decrease as the depth increases. The ductility of RC beams increases as the percentage of flexural reinforcement increases. The ductility number has been derived from dimensional analysis using fracture mechanics principles. The ductility of RC beams decreases as the depth of beams increases. An optimum percentage of flexural reinforcement has been established using optimum ductility number, N_p, which is equal to 0.20. The minimum flexural reinforcement was found to decrease as the beam depth increases, and decreases as the yield strength of reinforcement increases.     

Prestressed fiber reinforced concrete beams with reduced ratios of shear reinforcement

This paper presents an analysis of the influence of prestress and fibers on the shear behaviour of thin-walled I-section beams with reduced shear reinforcement ratio. Reduction of shear reinforcement in prestressed precast beams can make the reinforcement simpler and may increase the productivity in long line precasting beds. The use of short fibers can improve the shear strength and ductility. Nine concrete beams were built (six with prestressing forces) with three different mixtures: without fibers, with steel fibers, and with polypropylene fibers. Shear reinforcement ratios varied from 0 to 0.225% (geometric ratio). It was noted that prestressing increases cracking strength (both in bending and shear), extends the non-cracked area, and makes the compression struts less inclined. In the case of fiber reinforced concrete beams, control of cracking is more effective and consequently deflections are smaller. Ductility is also increased. Both fibers and prestressing reduce stresses in the stirrups and increase shear strength.

为了对预应力混凝土空心板梁端部剪跨区内出现的腹剪斜裂缝进行加固,提出了对空心板梁端部注浆加固的措施,以达到增加空心板受剪截面积的目的。进行了3片足尺20 m先张法预应力钢筋混凝土空心板梁注浆加固后抗剪性能试验,以验证加固后空心板梁的受力性能及加固效果,三片梁端部注浆长度分别为1.5 m、2.0 m、2.5 m,分析了不同注浆长度下试验梁的应变、挠度、裂缝分布、刚度、承载力变化规律,通过与未加固前梁体试验结果对比,分析端部注浆加固措施对梁体抗剪承载能力的改善程度。试验表明,采取端部注浆加固措施后,梁体整体刚度变化较小,梁体在正常使用荷载作用下,端部剪跨区内没有出现腹剪斜裂缝,梁体的抗剪能力有较大提高,加固后梁体的破坏模式为加固段与未加固段交界处发生的弯剪破坏。     

Bond behaviour of CFRP reinforcement for torsional strengthening of solid and box-section RC beams

The economic and time constraints in the repair or upgrading of existing infrastructure have become a major issue, particularly extending the service lifespan of bridges. Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) has shown great promise as a state-of-the-art material in flexural and shear strengthening as external reinforcement. However, little attention has been paid to torsional strengthening in terms of both experimental and numerical research. This paper focuses on the bond-behaviour of externally bonded CFRP in an overall investigation of torsional strengthening of solid and box-section reinforced concrete beams. Significant levels of debonding prior to failure by CFRP rupture were measured in experiments with photogrammetry. Numerical work was carried out using non-linear finite element (FE) modelling. Good agreement in terms of torque-twist behaviour, steel and CFRP reinforcement responses, and crack patterns was achieved. The addition of a bond-slip model between the CFRP reinforcement and concrete meant that the debonding mechanisms prior to and unique failure modes of all the specimens were modelled correctly as well.     

Structural performance of shear-critical RC deep beams with corroded longitudinal steel reinforcement

The effect of corrosion of longitudinal reinforcement on the structural performance of shear-critical reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams was experimentally investigated. A total of eight medium-scale reinforced concrete beams were constructed. The beams measured 150 mm wide, 350 mm deep and 1400 mm in length. The test variables included: corrosion levels (0%, 5%, and 7.5%), existence of stirrups and FRP repair. Six beams were subjected to artificial corrosion whereas two beams acted as control un-corroded. Following the corrosion phase, all beams were tested to failure in three point bending. The test results revealed that corrosion of properly anchored longitudinal steel reinforcement does not have any adverse effect on the behaviour of shear critical RC deep beams. Corrosion changed the load transfer mechanism to a pure arch action and as a result the load carrying capacity was improved. A strut and tie model was proposed to predict the failure loads of shear-critical RC deep beams with corroded longitudinal steel reinforcement. The predicted results correlated well with the experimental results.     

Seismic performance of precast concrete frames with debonded reinforcement

This paper utilizes experimental and numerical studies to investigate the seismic behavior of precast concrete frames. The system is composed of monolithic columns and composite precast concrete beams with debonded reinforcement at the beam end, with the purpose of distributing plasticity over a larger rebar length to improve the seismic performance of traditional precast concrete frames. Two half scale precast concrete frames, with and without debonded rebar, were tested under quasi-static cyclic lateral load. The observations during the test, load–displacement curves, stiffness, energy dissipating capacity and rebar strain are discussed. The experimental findings demonstrate that rebar debonding lead to reduced strain in tensile reinforcement. The decrease in strain due to the debonded rebar was 40.2% at a drift ratio of 1%. The performance of the specimens was evaluated according to ACI 374, which demonstrates that this precast system is applicable to seismic regions. In the numerical simulation study, a macro-based finite element (FE) model was developed using fiber-section beam-column element with a modified rebar constitutive model to take into account the effect of rebar buckling. The feasibility of the FE model was verified by comparing with the experimental data.     

Strengthening and repair of concrete foundation beams with carbon fiber composite materials

For several years Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) have been gradually replacing steel plates in the reinforcement of concrete structures that are damaged or need increased resistance. It has long been established that the addition of CFRP laminates to structures such as beams and slabs, increases their bending and shearing strength considerably. However, the behaviour of foundation beams with these reinforcements is not clear. The essential issue in the analysis of reinforced structures with composite materials is to understand the individual behaviour of each material and its interaction with the remaining ones. In this paper, bending and shearing strength of concrete foundation beams with CFRP reinforcement are analyzed through the study of their load capacity variation and beam deflections. Different height/span beam relations are considered. The numerical modeling is performed by the Finite Elements Method with the Abaqus program. Non-linear models are used for concrete and soil, and a linear elastic model is adopted for composites materials.

Nonlinear analysis of concrete shells including effects of normal and transverse shear stresses

The previously developed numerical model of the authors for the analysis of conventional reinforced and prestressed concrete shells under short‐term and long‐term loading was improved by including the effects of transverse shear stresses on the shell failure. The 9‐node degenerated shell element with the layered material model through the thickness of the shell was used. The reinforcement was modelled as a separate layer. To include the effect of transverse shear stresses on the shell failure, the failure criterion for concrete and longitudinal reinforcement was defined by a relation of transverse shear stresses and normal stresses in two mutually perpendicular vertical planes. The total transverse shear bearing capacity of the shell cross‐section is obtained by summing up the concrete and reinforcement contributions. The developed numerical model and appropriate software were verified based on experimental tests.     

Flexural response predictions of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with prestressed CFRP plates

Existing experimental studies showed that the reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates had three possible flexural failure modes (including the compression failure, tension failure and debonding failure) according to the CFRP reinforcement ratio. Theoretical formulas based on the compatibility of strains and equilibrium of forces were presented to predict the nominal flexural strength of strengthened beams under the three failure modes, respectively, and a limitation on the tensile strain level developed in the prestressed CFRP plate was proposed as the debonding failure occurred. In addition, the calculation methods for cracking moment, crack width and deflection of strengthened beams were provided with taking into account the contribution of prestressed CFRP plates. Experimental studies on five RC beams strengthened with prestressed CFRP plates and a nonlinear finite element parametric analysis were carried out to verify the proposed theoretical formulas. The available test results conducted by other researchers were also compared with the predicted values.

Strengthening RC beams with composite fiber cement plate reinforced by prestressed FRP rods: Experimental and numerical analysis

This paper deals with the development of a new strengthening system for reinforced concrete beams with externally-bonded plate made of composite fiber cement reinforced by rebars made of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) [1]. The proposed strengthening material involves the preloading of FRP rod before mortar casting. The paper presents experimental and numerical analysis carried out on many large-scale beams strengthened by well-known reinforcement techniques, such as externally bonded Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) plate and the Near Surface Mounted (NSM) technique, which are compared to the proposed new strengthening material through four-point bending tests. Results are analyzed with regard to the load-displacement curve, bending stiffness, cracking load, yield strength and failure load. The developed numerical model is in agreement with the experimental results. It clearly shows the effects of prestressed FRP rod on cracking mechanisms and internal strength distribution in the analyzed beams.     

Simulating RC beams with unbonded FRP and steel prestressing tendons

A partial interaction based analysis to simulate the behaviour of RC beams with prestressed unbonded tendons is proposed. Unlike bonded reinforcement, the strain developed in unbonded reinforcing tendons under bending is uniform along the length of the member and is thus member dependant. Conventional analysis techniques incorporate correction factors and empirical components in defining the strain developed in both the unbonded and bonded reinforcement. Being semi-empirical, the post-cracking analysis cannot directly simulate the effects of tension-stiffening on the untensioned bonded reinforcement. Accordingly, this paper presents a segmental moment–rotation approach for simulating the behaviour of RC beams with unbonded prestressed reinforcement, such that the mechanics of the approach removes the reliance on empiricisms in defining the reinforcement and unbonded tendon behaviour. Validated against experimental results, the approach is shown to accommodate concrete creep, shrinkage and reinforcement relaxation, thus enabling prestressing losses to be quantified.     

Numerical simulation of reinforced concrete beams with different shear reinforcements under dynamic impact loads

The behavior of concrete/reinforced concrete structures is strongly influenced by the loading rate. Reinforced concrete structural members subjected to impact loads behave quite differently as compared to the same subjected to quasi-static loading. This difference is attributed to the strain-rate influence on strength, stiffness, and ductility as well as to the activation of inertia forces. These influences are clearly demonstrated in experiments. Moreover, for concrete structures, which exhibit damage and fracture phenomena, the failure mode and cracking pattern depend significantly on loading rate. In general, there is a tendency that with the increase of loading rate the failure mode changes from mode-I to mixed mode. Furthermore, theoretical and experimental investigations indicate that after the crack reaches critical speed of propagation there is crack branching. The present paper focuses on 3D finite-element study of reinforced concrete beams with different amount of shear reinforcement under impact. The experiments reported in literature are numerically simulated using the rate sensitive microplane model as constitutive law for concrete, while the strain-rate influence is captured by the activation energy theory. Inertia forces are implicitly accounted for through dynamic finite element analysis. However, the impact was modeled not by explicit modeling of two bodies but by incrementing the load point displacement till the maximum value and at the rate reported from the test. The results of the numerical study show that the numerical analysis using the procedure followed in this work can very well simulate the impact behavior of reinforced concrete beams. The static and dynamic reactions, crack patterns and failure modes as predicted in analysis are in close agreement with their experimentally observed counterparts. It was concluded that under impact loads, of the order as simulated in this work (blunt impact with velocity of around 1 m/s), the shear reinforcement does not get activated and therefore the dynamic reactions, unlike static reactions, are almost independent of the amount of shear reinforcement in the beams. However, the presence of shear reinforcement significantly affects the crack pattern and the cracks are well distributed in the presence of shear reinforcement, thus avoiding the formation of shear plugs.
