Average Frequency – RA Value for Reinforced Concrete Beam Strengthened with Carbon Fibre Sheet

Acoustic Emission (AE) is one of the tools that can be used to detect the crack and to classify the type of the crack of reinforced concrete (RC) structure. Dislocation or movement of the material inside the RC may release the transient elastic wave. In this situation, AE plays important role whereby it can be used to capture the transient elastic wave and convert it into AE parameters such as ...

A Numerical Approach for the Seismic Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures Environmentally Damaged and Cable-strengthened

The paper deals with a numerical analusis for the seismic response of reinforced concrete structures containing cable elements. The cable behaviour is considered as nonconvex and nonmonotone one and is described by generalized subdifferential relations including loosening, elastoplastic fracturing etc. effects. The problem is treated incrementally by double discretization: in space by finite el...

Model Validation and Uncertainty Quantification

This session offers an open forum to discuss issues and directions of research in the areas of model updating, predictive quality of computer simulations, model validation and uncertainty quantification. Technical presentations review the state-of-the-art in nonlinear dynamics and model validation for structural dynamics. A panel discussion introduces the discussion on technology needs, future ...
