The neutral axis change along with axial load ratio, load angle, section size etc. For the neutral axis of SRCLSC(steel reinforced concrete L-shaped column) is neither plumb with the plane that the moment work on, nor parallel with borderlines of SRCLSC section, it is difficult to get loading capacity and ductility of SRCLSC on biaxial eccentric loading. Based on the plane-section assumption, a method for the nonlinear analysis of complete response process for ductility of 15 SRCLSC..It include 36 sets for load angle, 6 sets for axial load ratio, 3 sets for concrete strength, 3 sets for the content of steel, 2 sets for steel style, 3 sets for stirrup ratio, 3 sets for steel location, 3 sets for section size, 3 sets for stirrup diameter about SRCLSC. The ductile behavior of L-shaped, with calculating 1068 loading conditions,are investigated. It concluded that axial load ratio, load angle, and ratio of the spacing of stirrups and longitudinal reinforcement’s diameter (s/d) are most important factors.

The state of Qatar is suffering from its harsh environment and coastal conditions, which stand for most of the year. As a result, steel-reinforced concrete structures are subjected to rapid corrosion and deterioration. Therefore, there is a necessity to replace the conventional steel reinforcement by fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) bars. Apart from FRP bars corrosion resistance, their strength to weight ratio is higher than steel reinforcement, which made the FRP, bars a viable alternative to steel reinforcement. Continuous concrete beams are commonly used elements in structures such as parking garages and overpasses. In such structures, forces could be distributed between the critical sections after cracking. This phenomenon is called moment redistribution. It reduces the congested rebars in connections and enhances the ductility of the members. However, the linear-elastic behaviour of FRP materials makes the ability of continuous beams to redistribute loads and moments questionable. This study aims to investigate the capability of moment redistribution of basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) continuous beams reinforced with basalt FRP (BFRP) bars. Eleven reinforced concrete (RC) continuous beams of 200 x 300 x 4000 mm were tested up to failure under fivepoint loading. The main investigated parameters were the reinforcement ratio (0.6rb, 1.0rb, 1.8rb and 2.8rb; where rb is the balanced reinforcement ratio), stirrups spacing (80 and 120 mm) and volume fractions of Basalt-macro fibers (BMF) (0.75 and 1.5%). A parametric study was then conducted using a validated finite element (FE) model to extend the investigated parameters that may affect the moment redistribution of RC continuous beams. It was concluded that moment redistribution occurs in beams that have at least a ratio of bottom to top reinforcement of 0.3.

Issues of calculating steel-reinforced concrete beams are considered taking into account a nonlinear concrete diagram based on the Sargin formula. The nonlinear system of equations for determination of curvature and neutral axis, which is solved numerically, is written in explicit form. Explicit expressions for determination of other calculated quantities needed for design of steel-reinforced concrete beams are derived. Numerical examples are given. The analysis of accounting nonlinearity in comparison with the linear calculation is carried out.

Experiments of seven two-span reinforced concrete (RC) T-beams were introduced. One T-beam was normal temperature control T-beam, and the other six T-beams were heated under ISO-834 standard fire. All T-beams had the same geometrical dimensions and reinforcement as well as the loading and support arrangement. The fire-damaged T-beams were classified into two groups according to the fire exposure time. Different fire exposure time including 60 minutes and 75 minutes were investigated. In each group, one T-beam was unstrengthened control T-beam, and the other two T-beams were strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. The results showed the way of moment redistribution of T-beam changed greatly because of the influence of fire. Different from the normal temperature T-beam, the fire-damaged T-beams had obvious moment redistribution at the beginning of the loading because of the variable stiffness along the length of the T-beams. The stiffness equivalency method for evaluating the moment distribution of RC continuous beams after fire exposure is presented. The scope of application for proposed method is between concrete cracking and yield load. The proposed method is based on the principle of equivalent stiffness. Considering the reduced elastic modulus of concrete and steel bars for fire exposure, a procedure was developed for quantifying the amount of sagging moment and hogging moment that can occur in fire-damaged continuous beams with an external CFRP sheets strengthening or without. The proposed method was verified under the experimental results as well. The proposed stiffness equivalent approach is capable of predicting bending moment of fire-damaged RC continuous T-beams with an accuracy that is sufficient for design purposes.

Abstract In this paper we wish to present the numerical model elaborated in order to simulate some physical phenomena that influence the general deterioration of steel, whether hot dip galvanized or not, in reinforced concrete. We describe the physical and mathematical models, establishing the corresponding equation system, the initial and boundary conditions. We have also presented the numeric model associated to the mathematical model and the numeric methods of discretization and solution of the differential equations system that describes the mathematical model.
