El presente estudio trata sobre el análisis del agrietamiento en vigas de concreto sujetas a cargas monotónicas a través de un cálculo pseudo-estático. El fundamento teórico se basa en el Método de Grietas Dispersas (Smeared Crack Approach) de la Mecánica de Fractura, el cual será evaluado dentro de un algoritmo de análisis considerando el Método de Elementos Finitos. El objetivo principal es proponer un modelo computacional para el cálculo de deflexiones instantaneas y la modelación del agrietamiento en vigas de concreto armado sometidas a cargas de servicio. Con este propósito, se evaluaron las vigas analizadas por diversos autores. Los resultados del estudio se presentan mediante curvas fuerza-desplazaminto, la secuencia de propagación del agrietamiento y la evaluación de la resistencia última. Se consideró un modelo frágil de esfuerzo y deformación en la grieta. De esta manera, para los elementos analizados, se demostró que el modelo utilizado es capaz de predecir adecuadamente el proceso de agrietamiento y de calcular las deflexiones instantáneas en vigas de concreto, teniendo en cuenta resultados experimentales existentes.

Microstructural fracture behavior of a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) with nonuniformly distributed fibers is studied in the presentation. A comprehensive numerical analysis package to study the effect of nonuniform fiber dimensions and locations on the microstructural fracture behavior is developed. The package starts with an optimization algorithm for generating representative volume element (RVE) models that are statistically equivalent to experimental measurements. Experimentally measured statistical data are used as constraints while the optimization algorithm is running. Virtual springs are utilized between any adjacent fibers to nonuniformly distribute the coated fibers in the RVE model. The virtual spring with the optimization algorithm can efficiently generate multiple RVEs that are statistically identical to each other. Smeared crack approach (SCA) is implemented to consider the fracture behavior of the CMC material in a mesh-objective manner. The RVEs are subjected to tension as well as the shear loading conditions. SCA is capable of predicting different fracture patterns, uniquely defined by not only the fiber arrangement but also the specific loading type. In addition, global stress-strain curves show that the microstructural fracture behavior of the RVEs is highly dependent on the fiber distributions.

AbstractAn experimental program is presented where a slab on ground is subjected to concentrated loading at the centre, the edges and at the corners. Analytical solutions for the ultimate load capacity fit well with the results obtained in the tests. The non-linear behaviour of the slab is captured by performing nonlinear finite element analyses. The soil is modelled as a no-tension bedding and a smeared crack approach is employed for the concrete. Through a parametric study, the finite element model has been used to assess the influence of subgrade stiffness and shrinkage. The results indicate that drying shrinkage can cause severe cracking in slabs on grade.

The use of a GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers) mesh, embedded as a reinforcement in a mortar coating on both wall sides, proved to be effective and reliable in increasing the masonry wall resistance and the plastic deformation capacity.In this study, a NL finite element model, developed to predict the in-plane behaviour of masonry walls strengthened by means of this technique, is refined and used in an extensive parametric study. Numerical results were compared with diagonal compression test data on URM and RM cobblestone masonry samples, showing good agreement. The masonry panel and the mortar coating were modelled as isotropic homogeneous materials with a smeared crack approach, whereas the GFRP reinforcement was modelled as a mesh of truss elements. Properties assigned to materials were derived from experimental tests.The parametric study performed before on some involved mechanical properties, considering a standard range of variation, is now extended to other parameters. Moreover, the combined variation of different properties is considered. The actual contribute of each component (masonry, GFRP mesh, mortar) on some macroscopic parameters (strength and ductility of the specimen) is evaluated.The parametric analysis highlights the important role of the GFRP mesh not only on the peak load increment but also on the post-peak behavior and, in particularly, on the ductility increment of the reinforced masonry panel. These results can address the optimization of the intervention technique and the deliverable of operative guidelines for practitioners.
