The waste tire is produced more than 10 million tons every year in the world. This problem needs serious treatment to eliminate the waste tires. This work is aimed to recycle the waste tire in concrete as a reinforcement. The contribution of the waste tires in flexural strength capacity of concrete is investigated by using experimental work and numerical simulation. Since material is quite non-homogenous compared to the pure concrete, we use six concrete beam specimens with dimension 150 mm x 150 mm x 1000 mm to get better fitting results. One specimen is non reinforced concrete beam and five specimens are waste tires reinforced concrete beam. For each of the five specimen, the waste tire reinforcement is tensioned with 0%, 17%, 25%, 40% and 60% strain before casting the concrete. The flexural strength tests are conducted after 28 days concrete ages under three point loadings. After the test, we observe that the waste tire reinforcement together with pre-stress contribute significantly on the flexural strength of the concrete beam as predicted. Finally, to support the test, finite element analysis is performed as well in this work and compared with the experimental results.

Software simulation enables design engineers to have a better picture of possible structural failure behaviour and determine the accuracy of a design before the actual structural component is fabricated. Finite element analysis is used to simulate the behaviour of the reinforced concrete beam under the flexural test. During the flexural test, results are recorded for both simulation and experimental tests. By comparing the results, beam displacement, crack patterns, and failure modes can be studied with better accuracy. The accuracy percentage for yield load and ultimate load between the two tests results were 94.12 % and 95.79 %, respectively, whereas the accuracy percentage for elastic gradient before the yielding stage was 81.08 %. The behaviour between simulation and laboratory models described is based on crack pattern and failure mode. The progression of von Mises (VM) stresses highlighted the critical areas of the reinforced concrete beam and correlation between the experimental specimen, in terms of flexural cracks, shear cracks, yielding of tension reinforcement, and the crushing of concrete due to compressive stress. This paper concludes that simulation can achieve a significant accuracy in terms of loads and failure behaviour compared to the experimental model.

The paper deals with the finite-element analysis of damage in reinforced concrete beam and prestressed reinforced concrete beam. The steel reinforcement is modeled using non-linear rebar elements and an elastoplastic model of the reinforcement is considered. The initial prestress is defined in the ropes that are used to create the prestressed reinforced concrete beam. These ropes are also modeled using non-linear rebar elements and the elastoplastic material model. Created computational model allows the damage modeling of the reinforced and pre-stressed reinforced concrete beams under static loading.

This paper mainly uses ANSYS, the finite element analysis software, to make nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete beam. The model simulating the test process was established, the calculation results of ANSYS are compared with the experimental results. The comparison shows that ANSYS analysis results are similar to experimental results, which indicates ANSYS analysis software can be used to simulate the mechanical property of reinforced concrete structures.
