Order to investigate the failure effect of textile reinforced concrete (TRC) plate under bending load, the corresponding finite element model is established. By comparing the numerical simulation results with the experimental results, the rationality and feasibility of the finite element model are verified, and then the crack extension of TRC and the ultimate strain of carbon textile are analyzed. The failure mode of the slab under bending load is obtained, and it is found that the carbon textile concrete slab has better reinforcement effect, which greatly improves the safety performance of concrete members.

Reinforcement and concrete can work together to bear load in reinforced concrete structures, one of the main reasons is the relatively prefect bond between reinforcement and concrete. When steel reinforcement corrodes, the bond strength decreases and leads to the degradation of the reinforced concrete members. This paper built a finite element model by selecting appropriate stress-strain relationship of concrete and reinforcement, bond-slip relationship between concrete and corroded steel bars. The flexural behavior of corroded reinforced concrete lock-walls was analyzed by nonlinear finite element method. The calculated results were compared with the test results to verify the reliability of the finite element model. Finally, the influence of corrosion level of steel reinforcement and concrete strength on the normal section bearing capacity of lock-walls were discussed.

Microcomputer finite element analysis of reinforced concrete slab systems can now be routinely performed to produce realistic numerical simulation of three-dimensional structural behaviour. However, an efficient use of this approach requires an automated integration of design and analysis procedures. Guidelines for proper finite element modelling of slab systems are first presented along with simple post-processing algorithms to perform automatically the design or verifications from the analytical results. Numerical applications on simple slab systems subjected to uniform and concentrated loads are then used to illustrate the relative performance between finite element analyses and the equivalent frame method. Key words: microcomputer, reinforced concrete slab, finite element method, structural design.

The reinforcement corrosion is one of the most dominant deterioration mechanisms of existing reinforced concrete structures. In this paper, the effects of the stirrup corrosion on the structural performance of five corroded beams have been simulated using the finite element model with DIANA software. These tested beams are divided into two groups for considering different inputs: (i) without corroded stirrups in flexural span, (ii) with locally corroded stirrups at different locations (e.g. full span, shear span, middle span). FE model has been calibrated with experimental results that were obtained from the four-point bending test carried out on the tested beams. This study shows that the stirrups corrosion should be received more attention in the serviceability limit state since its considerable effect on flexural behavior. Based on a parametric study, it shows that the effect of the cross-section loss of tension reinforcements on the load-carrying capacity of the corroded beam is more significant than the bond strength reduction. Keywords: reinforced concrete; beam; stirrup corrosion; finite element model; flexural nonlinear behavior.

The flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened by CFRP is analyzed by using the way which connected tests with finite element simulation.First,through the test to get the load data of one unstrengthened and one strengthened reinforced concrete beam.Then,the finite element model is carried out based on Ansys finite element analysis software.The reinforced beam carrying capacity is improved based on the test data and finite element calculation results.Steel bars stress change curve, CFRP stress curve and the load displacement curves are in good agreement with experimental results.

A finite element model is developed in this paper for numerical modeling of the structural responses of FRP-strengthened reinforced concrete panels under blast loading. Strain rate effects for concrete in tension and compression, steel reinforcements and FRP sheets are taken into account in the finite element model. The commercial explicit hydrocode LS-DYNA is employed to carry out the numerical analysis. The proposed finite element model is validated by comparing the computed results of a conventional reinforced concrete panel and FRP-strengthened reinforced concrete panels under blast loading with the test data from the literature. In addition, the effects of FRP thickness, retrofitted surface, standoff distance and the charge mass on the blast resistance of FRP-strengthened reinforced concrete panels are investigated in this paper.

On the basis of plastic-elastic mechanics and finite element method, one selected 150m high reinforced concrete chimney was taken as the target in this paper to analyze the mechanical condition of directional demolition blasting, the capsizing time, the internal force of support abutment and constitutive relation of the chimney during directional blasting. A finite element model of the towering reinforced concrete chimney was established through separated modeling method by finite element analysis software LS-DYNA of ANSYS. Results show that the constitutive relation given by this paper conforms to reality. The finite element model of the towering reinforced concrete chimney established by separated modeling method is reasonable. The real overturn process, capsizing location and capsizing length of towering reinforced concrete chimney during directional demolition blasting are agree with that of numerical simulation.

Nonlinear finite element analysis of twelve SRC (steel reinforced concrete) special-shaped columns using ANSYS programs was conducted and the mechanical behaviors of these columns were analyzed. A series of numerical simulation technologies such as defining the material model of the concrete /steel, establishing global finite element model with discrete reinforced bars/stirrups elements and the methods of post-processing of the results were investigated. A quick method of finite element model establishment was proposed to avoid unit not sharing nodes and grid division error during meshing, which would cause problems such as divergence of the model. The results indicate that the numerical simulation technology presented is feasible and can be applied to further research on mechanical behaviors of the SRC structures.
