Abstract This paper presents analysis of simply supported reinforced concrete beam exposed to standard fire. Eurocode standard provides recommendations for analysis of reinforced concrete structure under fire. The thermal and structural responses of structure are calculated using commercially available software ANSYS. An advance calculation methodology must be implemented to estimate the behavior of structure and to understand thermal and mechanical properties of material during fire. These include transient thermal as well as structural analysis of structure. Finite element software ANSYS is capable to conducting thermal analysis as per defined material properties. It is important to study effect at elevated temperature on structure to understanding the behavior pattern and decrease the losses caused fire hazards.

The reinforced RC girder with external prestress is applied more and more widely. Reinforcement of the girder is influenced by various factors, among which the concrete intensity degree and the prestress degree are mainly analyzed through the finite element software ABAQUS to learn their influence on the anti-bending bearing capacity of the externally reinforced RC simply supported beam. Since the reinforcement stresses of RC girder (regular reinforced concrete beam) are far less than the maximum intensity of the reinforcing steel bar, the concrete in the pulled area cracks, which causes the stiffness of constructional elements to decrease, deform and expand so that the elements become useless before it is damaged. External prestress can effectively improve such defect of the RC girder, and a great deal of research has been carried out. Due to the experimental boundedness and discreteness, large general finite element software ABAQUS is adopted to analyze the anti-bending bearing capacity of the externally reinforced RC girder, which is based on the size of experimental constructional elements in literature.

Prestressed steel reinforced concrete structure, compared with other concrete structure has its unique advantages. So it is mainly used in large span and conversion layers. With the popularization of this structure,more attention should be payed on fire resistance performance. On the basis of reasonable assume,two steps model is used as concrete high strength calculation model. Simplified intensity decreased curve is used as rebar,steel and prestressed. Two ultimate bearing capacity formulas of prestressed steel reinforced concrete beam are established. One is for the beam whose tensile area is under fire, the other is for the beam whose compression area is under fire. Prestressed steel reinforced concrete structure has both prestressed concrete structure’s advantages and steel reinforced concrete structure ’s advantage. Steel reinforced concrete is used to improve the bearing capacity of the structure. Prestressed steel is used to improve the ultimate state of structure’s performance during normal use. Thereby structure’s performance is better to play. There are many similarities between prestressed steel reinforced concrete structure and steel reinforced concrete structure about fire resistance performance. Because of prestressed steel reinforced concrete structure’s own characteristics, there are still many problems about fire resistance. This paper mainly presented bending terminal bearing capacity of prestressed steel reinforced concrete beam under fire. Established simplified formulae for calculation, it is meet the engineering accuracy requirement.

Abstract. Damping, as one of the most important indicators of the structure’s dynamic behaviors, depicts how energy dissipates during vibration. Using Hammering Method on Reinforced Concrete Simply Supported Beam model dynamic experiment, by analyzing the vibrating signals captured during hammering process, how the allocation of the sensors and the hammer strength affect the parameter identification can be revealed. A rational method of parameter identification can be presented as well.

The paper deals with the study of dominant frequencies of an Impact-Echo method response signal obtained from a reinforced concrete beam with a steel rod diameter of 8 mm. Tension pulse was produced in axis of the rod at one end and detected in axis at opposite end of rod. Dominant frequencies of the response signal will be the main criterions for the reinforced concrete rebar corrosion progress. The article presents the results of measurements obtained after 12 months controlled degradation in aqueous NaCl solution. The results were compared with measurements of electrical resistance of reinforcing steel by using the Thomson double bridge.

Abstract Reinforced concrete structure is widely used in building structure because of its unique physical and mechanic properties, but with the increase of service life, there will be different degrees of damage in the structures. In this paper, combined with the test beam, a model of reinforced concrete beam strengthened with CFRP is established by Using ANSYS finite element software, nonlinear finite element analysis is carried out on the whole process of yield, cracking and destruction of the test beam under secondary load, while different working states of CFRP sheets were simulated by the life and death unit. The results show that the bending performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with CFRP can be predicted by selecting the finite element analysis model rationally.

In order to research the stress performance of reinforced concrete beam with different forms of reinforcement around the openings, a numerical simulation on reinforced concrete beam with circle openings is made by using the finite element software. The constitutive relation of concrete offered by the 2010 edition of code for design of concrete structures and the concrete damaged plasticity model is adopted in this article. The damage factor is introduced in the process of modeling, which can reflect the damage of beams with different forms of reinforcement directly and help to reveal the failure mechanism of members. Thus we can propose the optimization of reinforcement method.

The nonlinear behavior of the full scale test of the composite joint between steel reinforced concrete beam and concrete filled steel tubular column under low cyclic reversed loading are simulated by using finite element software ANSYS. A separated model was used, element concrete solid 65, element shell 181 and element link 8 were used to model concrete material, steel members and steel bars respectively. The numerical analysis results are compared with the data of the experimental research. The advantages and shortcoming of the finite element model are given. A better numerical simulation method and a use for reference to the similar case are expected to be afforded.

In the normal practice in the reinforced concrete design, the main reinforcement steel bar and links was used to fabricate the concrete structure. However new materials such as steel fiber has been introduced as the reinforcement to the reinforced concrete structure [1]. Nowadays, the application of fiber in concrete increase slightly as an engineering material demands. Fibers have distinctive of geometry, size and material. The characteristics and properties of fiber influence the properties concrete. Steel, glass and synthetic fibers were used in concrete in 1960s because of the difficulty to handle the asbestos fiber [2].

In this study, the behavior of reinforced concrete beams reinforced with FRP bars was investigated. A total of seventeen models were carried out based on the finite element software (ABAQUS). The concrete damage plasticity modeling was considered. Two types of fiber polymer bars, CFRP and GFRP as longitudinal reinforcement for concrete beam were used. The validation of numerical results was confirmed by experimental results, then the parametric study was conducted to evaluate the effect of change in different parameters, such as (diameter size, number of bars), type of FRP bars, longitudinal arrangement for FRP bars. All results were analyzed and discussed through, load-deflection diagram, according, to the difference parameter considered. The results showed that the use of FRP bars in rebar concrete beam improves the beam stiffness and enhance the cracking load. The load capacity enhanced in the range of (7.88-64.82%) when used CFRP bars. The load-carrying capacity of beams strengthened with CFRP is higher than that of strengthened with GFRP. Furthermore, the use of FRP bars in bottom and steel in top reinforcement is useful to overcome the large deflection, and improving the beam ductility. Finally, the results of finite element models were compared with the prediction equation, according to ACI440.1R-15.
