Compressive Strength Of Concrete

Nowadays, the teaching in civil engineering courses related to the analysis and design of reinforced concrete beams subjected to pure bending is based on models that use simplifications to facilitate calculations. When analyzing the plastic capacity of a rectangular section, its yield moment is usually calculated assuming that the stress-strain relationship can be idealized using a straight line. However, the validity of this relationship is only verified when the levels of compressive stress are less than 45% of the compressive strength of concrete f´c. For this reason, it is convenient to make a rigorous review over the convenience of using this simplification at medium and to high stresses close to failure. This work studies how a reinforced concrete section behaves according to the simplified model and compares its results to those obtained when using the function proposed by Hognestad in 1955 (still vigent). Interestingly, as a general conclusion, it can be said that the results predicted by the simplified model fit well respect to those obtained using the greatest mathematical rigor.

An experimental study was carried out to examine the non-uniform corrosion of plain steel bars in reinforced concrete beams partially placed in 5% sodium chloride solution under conditions of accelerated corrosion. 4 reinforced concrete beams with different concrete strength were made. The crack distributions of the beams due to pre-loads and expansion of corrosion product, and the sectional corrosion characteristics of plain steel bars are described in detail. The sectional area loss relating to mass loss and change along pure bending length of the beams are discussed. These can be used as the basis of test for further studies to build the numerical models of serviceability of corroded reinforced concrete beams.

This paper presents an investigation on the safety of structural elements submitted to pure bending, produced in reinforced concrete, in steel and steel-concrete composites, and designed according to Brazilian codes NBR8681:2003, NBR6118:2007 and NBR8800:2008. The study allows a comparison of the relative safety of beams produced with these materials and designed using these codes. Comparative studies between the performances of different materials are difficult to find in the published literature. The present study shows that reliability indexes for reinforced concrete beams are satisfactory; however, results for steel beams are below limit values established in international design standards. Reliability indexes found herein for steel-concrete composite beams are intermediate to concrete and steel beams.

Abstract This article presents the materials of deformability studies of pre-stressed steel-concrete beams reinforced with a package of reinforcement with different ratio of tape and rebar in the pure bending moment zone. The aim of the research was determination of the reinforcement percentage influence, for pre-stressed reinforced concrete beams reinforced with a package of reinforcement on their deformability. Also, the aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of using pre-stressed rebar in combined reinforcement. The practical significance of the experimental research is to study the deformability in pre-stressed bending elements with external tape and rebar reinforcement, taking into account the influence of different ratios of reinforcement areas within the combined reinforcement and development of proposals for such structures` calculation and design. The scientific novelty of the research is in obtaining the deformability characteristics of reinforced concrete beams reinforced with a package of reinforcement (tape and steel bars with periodic profile) with different ratios in the case of static loads` action.

Abstract The present paper of a series deals with the experimental characterisation of compressive strength and compressive behaviour (stress-strain relationship) of different structural concrete containing different volume of steel fibre reinforcement (0 V%, 0.5V%, 1.0V%, 75 kg/m3, 150 kg/m3) and different configuration of steel fibres (crimped, hooked-end). Compressive tests were carried out on standard cube (150 mm × 150 mm × 150 mm) and cylinder (Ø = 150 mm, l = 300 mm) specimens considering random fibre orientation. Since the fibre orientation may significantly affect the compressive behaviour, test series were also performed on cylinders (Ø = 70 mm, l = 100 mm) drilled out of fibre reinforced concrete beams and prisms (100 mm × 100 mm × 240 mm) sawn out of steel fibre reinforced deep beams. Throughout the tests stress-strain relationships were registered on the standard cube and cylinder specimens as well. In conclusion, behaviour of steel fibre reinforced concrete was examined in compression taking into consideration different experimental parameters such as fibre content, type of fibres, fibre configuration, fibre orientation, size of specimens (size effect) and concrete mixture.

Cfrp Sheets

The numerical investigations were carried out to study the behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened by CFRP under different loading conditions (pure bending and combined bending and torsion). The numerical work included analysis of eight experimentally tested beams of rectangular cross-section dimensions of (160×240) mm and (2600) mm length keeping the area of the ordinary reinforcement constant for all beams. The following parameters were taken into consideration, twisting to bending moment ratio (T/M) and CFRP strengthening arrangement. The analyzed beams are divided into four groups. Each group consists of two beams; the first beam is without CFRP strengthening, the other beam is strengthened with CFRP. Each beam is loaded to a different loading conditions (pure bending, T/M=0.5, T/M=1.0, T/M=2.0). The CFRP sheets were attached externally to the beam. Analysis results were analyzed based on influence of CFRP on ultimate load and vertical mid-span deflection. According to the numerical study, it was found that all strengthening arrangements of CFRP sheets exhibited a significant increase in ultimate strength. The three-dimensional (3D) finite element model (FEM) utilized in present work is capable to simulate the behavior of externally strengthened reinforced concrete beams by CFRP. Full bond connections (no slip) are assumed between the CFRP sheets and surface of concrete. The comparison between the numerical and the experimental results declared the validity of the numerical analysis where the range of the (Pexp./PANSYS) ratio in ultimate load was from 0.847 to 1.157. The general behavior of the (FEM) shows good agreement with the test results from the experimentally tested beams.

Experimental Researches

It is well known that shear stress at peak of reinforced concrete beams decreases with increasing effective depth. Thus, several existing design codes and models have included various forms of formulas considering the size effect on shear strength of reinforced concrete beams; however, past experimental researches show that tension reinforcement ratio is also associated with the shear strength of reinforced concrete beams. To examine the effect of tension reinforcement ratio and effective depth on shear strength of reinforced concrete beams, this study has conducted experiments in which the effective depth (150, 300, 500, and 780 mm) and tension reinforcement ratio (1%, 2%, and 3%) are employed as variables. Besides, a formula for the shear strength considering both variables is proposed based on data samples collected from the present experiment and previous research. The proposed formula gives predictions comparable to the results of existing shear tests. Furthermore, rational predictions are made for effective depth of beams, compressive strength of concrete, shear span-to-depth ratio, and even tension reinforcement ratio exceeding 3%.
