Determining the Critical Intensity for Crack Initiation in Concrete Arch Dams by Endurance Time Method
This study aims at determining the critical seismic intensity at which cracks are expected to develop in a concrete arch dam. This intensity is referred to as crack initiation intensity. The crack initiation intensity measure implies that earthquakes with the intensity measure higher than this value are expected to induce cracks in the arch dam. This quantity is an indicator for seismic evaluat...
متن کاملCRACK DETECTION IN CONCRETE BEAM USING OPTIMIZATION METHOD
Structural damage detection is a field that has attracted a great interest in the scientific community in recent years. Most of these studies use dynamic analysis data of the beams as a diagnostic tool for damage. In this paper, a massless rotational spring was used to represent the cracked sections of beams and the natural frequencies and mode shape were obtained. For calculation of rotational...
متن کاملCrack Linkup by Stable Crack Growth
Experimentally determined T ε and CTOA resistance curves were used to simulate numerically, stable crack growth and the ensuing crack linkup in 0.8 mm thick 2024-T3 aluminum tension specimen with multiple site damage (MSD) subjected to monotonically/cyclically increasing loading. The T ε integral correctly predicted the crack growth and linkup history as well as the onset of rapid fracture in M...
متن کاملprediction method of drying shrinkage crack in reinforced concrete walls
because thin plate reinforced concrete members such as walls and slabs are greatly influenced by the drying shrinkage, cracks can occur in these members due to the restraint of the volume change caused by drying shrinkage. therefore, the control of cracking due to drying shrinkage is very important in building construction that the thin plate members are frequently used. however, few researches...
متن کاملCrack Growth and Lifetime of Concrete under Long Time Loading
Edge-notched eccentrically compressed fracture specimens made of aggregate of reduced size are loaded in standard creep test frames. Measurements of the time rate of crack mouth opening in notched concrete specimens subjected to constant load of almost one month duration are reported and analyzed. To reveal the size effect, geometrically similar specimens of four sizes in the ratio I :2:4:8 are...
