Abstract

This paper describes an attempt to predict the flexural response of a reinforced concrete (RC) beam using nonlinear finite element analysis. To facilitate direct comparison, the beam was tested experimentally under four-point bending with the load increased monotonically. The load-deflection response, crack pattern and failure mode were observed in the experiment. Analysis incorporating the application of ATENA 3D was performed using the fracture-plastic model which is based on the classical orthotropic smeared crack formulation and crack band model. The applicability of this model was demonstrated through detailed simulation of RC beam with identical geometry, reinforcement arrangement, and material properties. From this study, it is found that the overall predicted responses are in very good agreement to those obtained from the experiment. It is also found that the feature in ATENA enables the presentation of reasonably maximum principal strains of concrete and rebar elements which can, therefore, be associated with the predicted crack bands.

Abstract

Concrete’s durability is the key factor that affects the service life of the concrete structure. One factor that affects the durability properties of concrete is its pore structure, which can be investigated by analyzing the materials’ absorption rate. For the structures with direct contact with water, water absorption can change the pore structure’s behavior, affecting the durability of the conc in the long term rate. It is important to research to find the water absorption properties of concrete with different mixtures. This research investigates the rate of absorption of concrete by using fly ash and silica fume. Based on secondary absorption properties, the result shows that 15% fly ash in normal concrete increases the resistance to water penetration by 23%. The usage of 5% Silica Fume increases the resistance by 11.8%. The usage of 5% silica fume + 10% fly ash increases the resistance by 16.2%. It shows that the use of supplementary materials in concrete increases the resistance of water penetration. In this research, the usage of 15% fly ash as cement replacement shows the best result.

Abstract

This paper presents the finite element modelling of shear-critical reinforced concrete beams strengthened with U-wrapped CFRP fabrics using ATENA. Fracture-plastic constitutive models, implemented in the context of smeared crack and crush-band approach, were employed to represent the nonlinear behaviours of concrete. CFRP U-wraps were modelled as smeared rein­forcement and bonded to the concrete surface using an interface element, considering appropriate bond properties. To this end, two large lightly reinforced concrete T-beams from tests undertaken by Brindley in 2018 were analysed and predictions of the load-deflection response and failure mode are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of the modelling. Moreover, parametric analyses were performed to assess the effectiveness of CFRP U-wraps for strengthening deteriorated members. It is shown that the response of the beams can be predicted accurately, capturing successfully the brittle shear failure mode observed experimentally. It is also shown that CFRP U-wraps are useful for reducing the brittleness of shear-critical beams.
