Cracking of Concrete Cover in Frp Reinforced Concrete Elements under Thermal Loads
Synopsis: The effects of thermal loads on the structural performance of FRP reinforced concrete elements are analyzed in this paper. The difference in transverse coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between FRP and concrete causes the presence of tensile stresses within the concrete and, eventually, the formation of cracks when the temperature increases. As part of an inter-university experim...
متن کاملStructural Design of Reinforced Concrete Tall Buildings: Evolutionary Computation Approach
The paper reports the results of a joint project on evolutionary design of reinforced concrete structures in tall buildings. It has been conducted at the Center for Concrete Structures at the Darmstadt University of Technology in Germany and in the School of Information Technology and Engineering at George Mason University. Its ultimate objective is to revolutionize design of both steel and con...
متن کاملAdaptive Finite Elements for Reinforced Concrete Framed Structures
Abstract. This work focuses on the modelling of nonlinear response of reinforced concrete structures by means of the finite element method. A new technique which employs a variable mesh in order to reduce the computational cost of classical approaches is presented. For some piecewise linear constitutive models which are widely employed for the modelling of reinforced concrete, some properties o...
متن کاملStructural analysis of reinforced concrete chimneys subjected to uncontrolled fire
We studied the behavior and residual structural capacity of reinforced concrete chimneys subjected to an uncontrolled fire. We used a combination of a heat transfer finite element model – to obtain the temporal distributions of temperature during the fire event – and the structural model of concrete chimney design provided by the American Concrete Institute (ACI 307–08). This approach allows es...
متن کاملMultifunctional Cement Composites Strain and Damage Sensors Applied on Reinforced Concrete (RC) Structural Elements
In this research, strain-sensing and damage-sensing functional properties of cement composites have been studied on a conventional reinforced concrete (RC) beam. Carbon nanofiber (CNFCC) and fiber (CFCC) cement composites were used as sensors on a 4 m long RC beam. Different casting conditions (in situ or attached), service location (under tension or compression) and electrical contacts (embedd...
