چکیده

The sounding of the tendon ducts and rebars remains difficult due to their non accessibility and the important thickness of the cover concrete layer. This paper presents an active method to evaluate the poor filling of tendon ducts by way of active infrared thermography. This experiment is performed on two laboratory specimens. The experimental set-up depicts the non contacting heating technique based on the induction. A new systemic approach based on the transfer functions analysis of the thermograms is presented. This kind of data process illustrates the interest of magnitude and dephasing images. Résumé L’auscultation des gaines de précontrainte et des aciers passifs reste difficile à cause de leur non accessibilité et de l’épaisseur importante du béton de recouvrement. Cet article présente une méthode d’auscultation active par thermographie infrarouge afin de détecter le faible remplissage des gaines de précontrainte. L’expérimentation est effectuée sur deux corps d’épreuve de laboratoire. Le dispositif expérimental décrit la méthode de chauffage sans contact basée sur l’induction. Une nouvelle approche systémique basée sur l’analyse des fonctions de transfert est présentée. Ce mode de traitement des données montre l’intérêt des images d’amplitude et de déphasage.

TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF PRETENSIONED CONCRETE BEAMS CONSIDERING MATERIAL NONLINEARITY

In this paper, the bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) method is used to find optimal layouts of 3D prestressed concrete beams. Considering the element sensitivity number as the design variable, the mathematical formulation of topology optimization is developed based on the ABAQUS finite element software package. The surface-to-surface contact with a small sliding between...

COMPARATIVE COSTS OF THE PRODUCTION, TRANSPORT AND ASSEMBLY STAGES OF PRESTRESSED PRECAST SLABS USING GENETIC ALGORITHMS

In the precast structures, optimization of structural elements is of great interest mainly due to a more rationalized way that elements are produced. There are several elements of precast prestressed concrete that are objects of study in optimization processes, as the prestressed joist applied in buildings slabs. This article inquires into cost minimization of continuous and simply supported sl...

Crack Detection In Functionally Graded Beams Using Conjugate Gradient Method

In this paper the conjugate gradient (CG) method is employed for identifying the parameters of crack in a functionally graded beam from natural frequency measurement. The crack is modeled as a massless rotational spring with sectional flexibility. By using the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory on two separate beams respectively and applying the compatibility requirements of the crack, the characteris...
