The paper is focused on analysis of two-layer bending pre-stressed beams consisting of steel fibered (SF) high strength concrete (HSC) in compressed zone and normal strength concrete (NSC) in tensile zone. Investigation of such beams is important for RC structural design, because calculation of fibers volume ratio is significant, like that of reinforcing steel bars for usual RC elements. In other words, such elements are made of high performance concrete (HPC). There is a growing tendency that more effective HPC structures replace NSC ones, first of all in pre-stressed elements. Definition of the HSC class lower limit, to be used in the compressed zone of a two-layer pre-stressed beam, is given. It was demonstrated that SF have little effect on the beam elastic deflections. However, the ultimate deflections of the section increase because additional potential for plastic energy dissipation (PED) in the bending element. NSC, used in the section tensile zone, contributes additionally about 20% to the section’s PED potential compared to one-layer HSC beams. In order to guarantee sufficient section’s ductility of the pre-stressed beams, required to withstand dynamic loadings, a minimum SF ratio is proposed to be considered. The fibers take the tensile stresses, yielding cracks in the concrete matrix. A design method for calculation of the SF volume ratio, as a function of required ductility, is proposed. A numerical example, illustrating the efficiency of this method is presented. 相似文献

This paper presents the effect of air curing, water curing and steam curing on the compressive strength of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC). For experimental study, SCC is produced with using silica fume (SF) instead of cement by weight, by the ratios of 5%, 10% and 15%, and fly ash (FA) with the ratios of 25%, 40% and 55%. It is observed that mineral admixtures have positive effects on the self settlement properties. The highest compressive strength was observed in the concrete specimens with using 15% SF and for 28 days water curing. Air curing caused compressive strength losses in all groups. Relative strengths of concretes with mineral admixtures were determined higher than concretes without admixtures at steam curing conditions. 相似文献

The durability of a cementitious material is greatly influenced by the permeability of the material for potentially aggressive substances. As the pore structure of self compacting concrete (SCC) might be different in comparison with traditional concrete (TC), some changes in durability behaviour may occur. At this moment however, it is unclear how significant these differences will be with regard to the concrete practice. In this paper, the gas and water transport in SCC with limestone filler or fly ash is investigated experimentally. Nine different concrete compositions are considered: one TC and eight SCC mixtures. Some important parameters like the water/cement (W/C) and cement/powder ratio (C/P), type of filler (limestone filler and fly ash), type of aggregate and type of cement are considered. The results of the gas and water transport are discussed and linked to experimental data concerning pore volume. Lower transport properties can be obtained by using fly ash instead of limestone as filler material, by lowering the W/C ratio, decreasing the C/P ratio at a constant W/C ratio or using blast furnace slag cement instead of portland cement. The effect of changing from gravel to crushed limestone is small. SCC is differing strongly of TC with respect to the apparent gas permeability. This difference is probably due to the differences in pore volume, as seen from MIP results. 相似文献

Self compacting concrete mixtures with the use of ladle furnace slag as filler and steel fibers as reinforcement were produced and tested in the laboratory. Different contents of ladle furnace slag filler, ranging from 60 to 120 kg/m3, and steel fibers, ranging from 0% to 0.7%, were used. The different mixtures were tested in the fresh state for fluidity, passing ability and resistance to segregation and in the hardened state for compressive strength, fracture toughness, freeze-thawing resistance and chloride penetration resistance. The test results showed that ladle furnace slag can be used as filler for self compacting concrete, as adequate consistency and workability was achieved, while compressive strength and durability were improved. Ladle furnace slag can also be combined with steel fibers, which considerably increase fracture toughness, in order to produce a high performance self compacting concrete using a low-cost industrial by-product such as ladle furnace slag. 相似文献

This paper presents an experimental program on the flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete beams produced from palm oil clinker (POC) aggregates. POC is obtained from by-product of palm oil milling. Utilisation of POC in concrete production not only solves the problem of disposal of this solid waste but also helps to conserve natural resources. An experimental work was conducted involving eight under-reinforced beams with varying reinforcement ratios (0.34–2.21%) which were fabricated and tested. The data presented include the deflection characteristics, cracking behaviour and ductility indices. It was found that although palm oil clinker concrete (POCC) has a low modulus of elasticity, the test results revealed that the deflection of singly reinforced POCC beams, with reinforcement ratio less than 0.524, under the design service load is acceptable as the span-deflection ratios range between 250 and 257 and these values are within the allowable limit provided by BS 8110. In addition, the results reported in this paper indicate that the BS8110 based design equations can be used for the prediction of the flexural capacity of POCC beams with reinforcement ratio up to 2.23%. 相似文献

The effects of confinement reinforcement on the behaviour of high strength concrete columns are investigated for which prismatic
experimental specimens were prepared. In the experiment specimens, four longitude reinforcement and confinement reinforcement
were used. For each experiment, stress-strain relationship of concrete was obtained and compared with models proposed earlier.
The results show that confinement reinforcement improved the ductility of high strength concrete. The ascending branch of
stress-strain curves depended on the ratio of confinement reinforcement was similar to the modified Kent-Park model and the
descending branch similar to the Nagashima model. 相似文献

Size effect on failure of overreinforced concrete beams 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Ça?atay M. Belgin 《Engineering Fracture Mechanics》2008,75(8):2308-2319
The results of full-scale failure of singly reinforced four-point-bend beams of different sizes containing deformed longitudinal reinforcing bars are reported. The tests consisted of four groups with one, two and three different size combinations. The specimens were made of concrete with a maximum aggregate size of 10 mm. The beams were geometrically similar in one, two and three-dimensions, and even the bar diameter and cover thicknesses were scaled in proportion. The reinforcement ratio was 3%. The results revealed the existence of a significant size effect, which can approximately be described by the size effect law previously proposed by Bazant. The size effect is found to be stronger in two-dimensional similarities than for one and three-dimensional similarities. 相似文献

Flow behaviour of high strength high-performance concrete 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The workability of flowable High-Performance Concrete (HPC) is nowadays mainly measured using conventional test methods such as the slump test or the slump-flow test. These single-point tests do not seem sensitive enough to characterize the high-workability of HPC. Due to the fluid consistency and uniformity of fresh HPC, it is possible to describe its flow properties by using a rheological test method. To evaluate the flowability based on rheology, fresh HPC is regarded as a two-phase material composed of a matrix phase and a particle phase. In the study, the effects of materials and proportioning on the rheological properties were investigated experimentally. A new rheometer was established by conducting a two-point test to investigate the flow behaviour of high strength HPC. Test results show that the high strength HPC with good uniformity and without tendency of segregation can possess the properties of rheology according to Bingham’s equation. An increase of the fraction of mortar in HPC can lead to a more distinct the rheological behaviour. Moreover, it is found that the application of a rheological method can provide more stable results than any other test method in describing the flowability of high strength HPC. 相似文献

The shear-flexure response of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams was investigated.Thirty-six reinforced concrete beams with and without conventional shear reinforcement (stirrups) were tested under a four-point bending configuration to study the effectiveness of steel fibers on shear and flexural strengths, failure mechanisms, crack control, and ductility.The major factors considered were compressive strength (normal strength and high strength concrete up to 100 MPa), shear span-effective depth ratio (a/d = 1.5, 2.5, 3.5), and web reinforcement (none, stirrups and/or steel fibers).The response of RC beams was evaluated based on the results of crack patterns, load at first cracking, ultimate shear capacity, and failure modes.The experimental evidence showed that the addition of steel fibers improves the mechanical response, i.e., flexural and shear strengths and the ductility of the flexural members.Finally, the most recent code-based shear resistance predictions for SFRC beams were considered to discuss their reliability with respect to the experimental findings. The crack pattern predictions are also reviewed based on the major factors that affect the results. 相似文献

On the orientation of fibres in structural members fabricated with self compacting fibre reinforced concrete 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The incorporation of fibres into concrete produces important benefits, mainly on the residual load-bearing capacity. These improvements depend on the type, content and orientation of the fibres, being a strong relationship between the number of fibres in the fracture surfaces and the post peak parameters. Although the fibres could be homogeneously distributed after mixing, the casting and compaction processes can significantly affect the fibre distribution and orientation, and consequently the mechanical performance of the material. In the case of Fibre Reinforced Self Compacting Concrete (FR-SCC) the existence of significant flow and wall effects may influence fibre orientation. This paper analyzes the fibre orientation in thin structural elements cast with FR-SCC and its effects on the residual mechanical properties. A slab of 0.90 × 1.80 × 0.09 m, a wall of 0.50 × 2.00 × 0.08 m, and a beam of 0.15 × 0.15 × 2.50 m were selected as representative elements where different concrete flow conditions take place. A strong heterogeneity in the orientation of the fibres was found. The fibre orientation varied with the flow rate and with the wall effect; the thickness of the elements or the proximity to the bottom of the moulds appeared as important variables. It was demonstrated that in thin elements the residual mechanical properties can be quite different when diverse zones and/or directions of the structural elements are considered. 相似文献

With the technology development on the compressive strength of concrete over the years, the use of high strength concrete has proved most popular in terms of economy, superior strength, stiffness and durability due to many advantages it could offer. However, strength and ductility are inversely proportional [J. Mater. Civil Eng. 11 (1999) 21]. High strength concrete is a brittle material causing failure to be quite sudden and ‘explosive' under loads. It is also known that structural concrete columns axially compressed rarely occur in practice. The stress concentrations caused by the eccentric loading further reduce the strength and ductility of high strength concrete. Therefore, studies for high strength concrete columns under eccentric loading are essential for the practical use.
This paper experimentally investigates a number of high strength concrete columns that are externally reinforced with galvanised steel straps and fibre-reinforced polymers subjected to concentric and eccentric loading. The experimental results show that external reinforcement can enhance the properties of high strength concrete columns. 相似文献

Post-weld improvement methods can significantly improve the fatigue strength of a structure. In some cases, the degree of improvement is limited by alternate failure modes. The material strength and type of loading also influence the observed fatigue crack behaviour. This study reports on crack patterns and strength for both constant and variable amplitude fatigue tests of high strength steel (HSS) welds. Some specimens were in the as-welded state, while others were post-weld treated, using methods generally categorized as residual stress modification processes. Failure modes were significantly different for CA and VA loading and VA loading showed less improvement. 相似文献

Large scale heterogeneity is a major problem when shock properties of concrete materials shall be derived efficiently. A mesomechanical method proposed earlier [Riedel W. Beton unter dynamischen Lasten: Meso- und makromechanische Modelle und ihre Parameter, Ed.: Fraunhofer-Institut für Kurzzeitdynamik, Ernst-Mach-Institut EMI. Freiburg/Brsg.: Fraunhofer IRB Verlag; 2004. p. 117–43. ISBN:3-8167-6340-5 〈http://www.irbdirekt.de/irbbuch/〉; Thoma K, Riedel W, Hiermaier S. Mesomechanical modeling of concrete shock response, experiments and linking to macromechanics by numerical analysis. In: Proceedings of European conference on computational mechanics, München, Germany, September 1999 (CD-ROM).], combining plate impact experiments on the constituents ‘cement’ and ‘aggregate’ together with simulations of the concrete mesostructure, is extended in this work. Hereby, the parameters describing macroscopic stress wave propagation are analysed in direct simulations of the discontinuous composite of aggregate, mortar and pores. This allows the replacement of an important number of experiments on large samples with inevitable scattering by a reduced set of smaller standard tests together with simulations. The basics and the validation of this methodology are demonstrated in the acoustic regime and compared to available shock experiments for a wide pressure range. The present paper describes the enlargement of the pressure range for the derived equation of state properties. Therefore, the concrete mortar has been impact tested in shock reverberation configuration leading to reflected pressures up to 18 GPa. The shock and equation of state properties are derived for two 35 MPa conventional strength mixtures and a 135 MPa high strength concrete. The results are compared to available literature sources. 相似文献

This study presents alternative shear strength prediction equations for reinforced concrete (RC) beams with stirrups. The
shear strength is composed of the contribution of the nominal shear strength provided by stirrups and the nominal shear strength
provided by concrete. For the concrete contribution, cracking shear strength values estimated by Arslan’s equations are almost
same those obtained with ACI 318 simplified equation in terms of coefficient of variation (COV). However, mean values estimated
by ACI 318 tend to be more conservative comparing to the mean values obtained with Arslan’s equations. Thus, for the consideration
of concrete contribution to shear strength, Arslan’s equations are used. To obtain the shear strength of RC beams, shear strength
provided by stirrups is added to the concrete shear strength estimated by Arslan’s equations. Results of existing 339 beam
shear tests are used to investigate how accurate proposed equation estimates the shear strength of RC beams. Furthermore,
ACI 318 and TS500 provisions are also compared to the aforementioned test results. It is found that proposed equations for
beams with shear span to depth ratios (a/d) between 1.5 and 2.5 are also conservative with a lower COV than ACI 318 and TS500. However, when a/d ratios exceed 2.5 (both normal and high strength concrete beams), ACI 318, TS500 and proposed equations give similar COV
value. 相似文献

Optimization of normal and high strength recycled aggregate concrete mixtures by using packing model
This paper analyzes the possibility of applying the Compressible Packing Model (CPM) for the proportion of concrete mixtures produced with Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCAs). As a matter of fact, the RCAs are composed of natural aggregates and attached mortar and, as a consequence, they generally present a higher porosity in comparison with ordinary natural aggregates. The higher porosity of RCAs can affect the resulting Recycled Aggregate Concretes (RACs) properties and, for this reason, the mix design procedure available in literature for ordinary concrete mixture cannot be applied as such in the case of RACs. In this context, the present work first presents a preliminary study in which the optimal mixing procedure for RACs is investigated and then, a possible extension of the CPM in the case of RACs is analyzed. Several structural RAC mixtures were designed for three strength classes (25, 45 and 65 MPa) by considering the variation of the aggregate replacement from 0 to 100%. Finally, the proposed procedure is experimentally validated by performing mechanical and durability tests on selected mixtures for the three strength classes with a RCAs content up to 60%. The results reported herein demonstrate the applicability of the CPM for recycled concrete mixtures and highlight as the rational use of RCAs lead to produce structural RAC without affecting its mechanical and the durability performance. 相似文献

In conventional analysis and design procedures of reinforced concrete structures, the ability of concrete to resist tension
is neglected. Under cyclic loading, the tension-softening behavior of concrete influences its residual strength and subsequent
crack propagation. The stability and the residual strength of a cracked reinforced concrete member under fatigue loading,
depends on a number of factors such as, reinforcement ratio, specimen size, grade of concrete, fracture properties, and on
the tension-softening behavior of concrete. In this work, a method is proposed to assess the residual strength of reinforced
concrete beams subjected to cyclic loading. The crack extension resistance based approach is used for determining the condition
for unstable crack propagation. The effect of reinforcement is modeled as a closing force counteracting the effect of crack
opening produced by the external moment. The effect of percentage reinforcement and specimen size on the failure of reinforced
beams is studied. Finally, the residual strength of the beams are computed by including the softening behavior of concrete. 相似文献
