Load Bearing

The results of five experimental test series on masonry walls supported by reinforced concrete beams or slabs are reported and compared to theoretical predictions of the load bearing capacity. The experiments were performed on deep masonry beams built with respectively calcium silicate and clay brick. Investigated parameters were: position of the supports, concrete beam-masonry interface, concrete beam stiffness, type of loading, and height of masonry wall and concrete beam. Based on literature, the method proposed by Davies and Ahmed as well as the method according to Eurocode 6 were used to estimate the load bearing capacity of the tested masonry walls supported by concrete beams. The method of Davies and Ahmed allows for the determination of the stresses and stress resultants in the masonry. The analysis shows that near the support an inclined compressive force acts at the bed joint, which means that a shear-compression stress state exists in the bed joint. Strength evaluation has been carried out using the Mann-Müller criterion that is adopted in Eurocode 6. Based on the test results, it may be concluded that both methods yield conservative values of the load bearing capacity, as could be expected. Before cracking a linear elastic behavior was observed, while after cracking a strut-and-tie model may be applied. To develop more accurate design models, it is recommended to investigate the post-cracking behavior in more detail.

Monolithic Structure

Prefabricated monolithic floors are the best solution in terms of cost and time of work. In addition, due to the lightweight filling blocks included in the prefabricated monolithic structure, the overlap has less weight than the classic monolithic or precast slabs. Within the framework of this article, elements of prefabricated monolithic floors — reinforced concrete T-beams with a steel thin-walled profile, which is used primarily as formwork at the stage of construction and installation works, are calculated. Nevertheless, the calculation of the steel profile as an external reinforcement increases the load-bearing capacity of the beams by 50%. To assess the fact effect of the steel thin-walled profile on the strength characteristics of structural elements, experimental studies are conducted. According to the results of the experiment, it is found that the contribution of the steel thin-walled profile to the bearing capacity of the beams is 15%, while if the profile slip due to anchoring in the supporting zones is reduced, the bearing capacity increases by 50-60% compared to similar beams without a profile

Loading Modes

The paper reports the results of a comparative analysis of the experimental shear capacity obtained from the tests of reinforced concrete beams with various static schemes, loading modes and programs, and the shear capacity calculated using selected models. Single-span and two-span reinforced concrete beams under monotonic and cyclic loads were considered in the analysis. The computational models were selected based on their application to engineering practice, i.e., the approaches implemented in the European and US provisions. Due to the changing strength characteristics of concrete, the analysis was also focused on concrete contribution in the shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams in the cracked phase and on the angle of inclination of diagonal struts. During the laboratory tests, a modern ARAMIS digital image correlation (DIC) system was used for tracking the formation and development of diagonal cracks.

Theoretical Results

In order to improve the bearing capacity of SRC which is related with deformation and stiffiness, SRC beams should be strengthened by CFRP. Based on the experiment of six pre-splitting steel reinforced concrete beams strengthened with (Prestressed) CFRP sheets, the deformation of beams are discussed. Load-deformation curves are obtained by the experiment. Considering the influence of intial bending moment on SRC beams, the calculated deformation formulas of SRC beams strengthened by (Prestressed) CFRP are deduced. The results showed that the load-deformation curves of normal and strengthened beams respectively showed three and two linear characteristics. The theoretical results which calculated by the formulas of deformation are well agreement with the experimental results.

The Given

The paper considers the results of the experimental study of the reinforced concrete beams strengthened by carbon fiber reinforced plastics (the CFRP). Eight reinforced concrete beams of the 80x160 mm section and 1500 mm designed span have been manufactured and tested. The influence of the number of the CFRP layers (strengthening power) on bearing capacity and rigidity under the static loading of beams in the thirds of the span has been studied. The results obtained indicate the increase in bearing capacity of the reinforced beams from 24% up to 55% and the increase in rigidity by 45% for the commonly adopted limiting state, i.e. achieving ultimate deformations in concrete of the compressed zone). The paper underlines the need for using anchor devices in the form of U-shaped binders to ensure the efficiency of the given method of strengthening.

Bearing Behavior

This article proposes a new type of discrete connected precast reinforced concrete diaphragm floor system that consists of precast flat slabs and slab joint connectors. An experimental investigation of discrete connected new-type precast reinforced concrete diaphragm under a vertical distributed static load was conducted, and the effect of slab joint connectors on the load-bearing capacity was evaluated. Then, a finite element analysis of discrete connected new-type precast reinforced concrete diaphragm, precast reinforced concrete floors without slab connectors, and cast-in-situ reinforced concrete floor were performed to understand their working mechanism and determine the differences in load-bearing behavior. The results indicate that the load-bearing capacity and stiffness of discrete connected new-type precast reinforced concrete diaphragm increase considerably as the hairpin and cover plate hybrid slab joint connectors can efficiently connect adjacent precast slabs and enable them to work together under a vertical load by transmitting the shear and moment forces in the orthogonal slab laying direction. The deflection of discrete connected new-type precast reinforced concrete diaphragm in orthogonal slab laying direction is mainly caused by the opening deformation of the slab joint and the rotational deformation of the precast slabs. This flexural deformation feature can provide reference for establishing the bending stiffness analytical model of discrete connected new-type precast reinforced concrete diaphragm in orthogonal slab laying direction, which is vitally important for foundation of the vertical bearing capacity and deformation calculation method. The deflection and crack distribution patterns infer that the discrete connected new-type precast reinforced concrete diaphragm processes the deformation characteristic of two-way slab floor, which can provide a basis for the theoretical analysis of discrete connected new-type precast reinforced concrete diaphragm.

The Relationship

It is presented the formulation and solution of the load bearing capacity of statically indeterminable systems “reinforced concrete beam – deformable base” by spatial cross-sections under force and deformation effects. The solution of problem is currently practically absent in general form. It has been established the relationship between stresses and strains of compressed concrete and tensile reinforcement in the form of diagrams. The properties of the base model connections are described based on a variable rigidity coefficient. It is constructed a system of n equations in the form of the initial parameters method with using the modules of the force (strain) action vector. The equations of state are the dependences that establish the relationship between displacements which are acting on the beam with load. Constants of integration are determined by recurrent formulas. It makes possible to obtain the method of initial parameters in the expanded form and, consequently, the method of displacements for calculating statically indefinable systems. The values of the effort obtained could be used to determine the curvature and rigidity of the sections in this way. It is necessary not to set the vector modulusP, the deformation is set in any section (the module is considered as an unknown) during the problem is solving. This allows us to obtain an unambiguous solution even in the case when the dependence M–χ has a downward section, i.e one value of moment can correspond to two values of curvature.
