This paper presents flexural analysis of a GFRP bar reinforced concrete beam by using Finite Element Modeling (FEM) approach. The FEM model is developed using solid element for concrete and bar element for GFRP reinforcement. Results from FEM show good agreement with the reported experimental result under service loading, in terms of load vs. mid-span deflection. The first cracking load from FEM matches analytical solution fairly well, while ultimate flexural capacity of RC beam from FEM shows 8.3% higher than that calculated with ACI 440 Equation.

Reinforced concrete is one of the most widely used building materials in Indonesia due to its workability, easiness, and reasonable price. Meanwhile, it is very important to understand the response of these elements during the loading process to ensure the development of an effective structure and one of the most effective numerical methods for reinforced concrete elements is the Finite Element Analysis (FEA). This study was, therefore, conducted to investigate the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beam using a nonlinear finite element analysis through the application of the MSC MARC/MENTAT software program. This involved the use of a solid element to represent concrete while the truss bar was applied for reinforcing steel after which multi-linear and bilinear models were considered for the two elements respectively while embedded reinforcement model was applied to model the rebar. Moreover, the beam model was also studied and compared with experimental data from previous literature. The result showed the load-deflection to have significantly increased due to an increment in the steel reinforcement yield strength. The same was also observed for the concrete compressive strength while a decrease was recorded in deflection due to the reduction in the compressive strength because the strain was reaching the crushing value. Furthermore, the concrete tension model was found to be the same with the experimental results with the tensile strength observed to have lost its strength after reaching the tensile stress while the contact behavior of the modeled reinforced concrete beam showed the existence of a slip at the support and loading points.

Abstract: Understanding the response of concrete structural components such as beams, columns, walls during loading is indispensable for the development of safeand efficient structures. The present report deals with the non-linear static analysis of a Reinforced Concrete (RC) beam, having dimensions 4000mmX400mmX 250mm, with 4 nos. of 16mm diameter bar as main reinforcements, 8mm diameter at 200mm c/c as shear reinforcement, with two faces of the beam as fixed modeled and analyzed when subjected to two point loads at one-third span from each fixed support using the Finite Element Analysis software Ansys. The behavior of the analyzed beam has been observed in terms of flexural behavior, load-deflection responses, and crack pattern for various loading conditions until failure load. Keywords: Finite element analysis, ANSYS, flexural behavior, Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams, material non- linearity, shear reinforcement.

This paper presents an investigation into the flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete beam with opening reinforced with two different materials i.e., steel and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP). Comparison study between the two different materials were carried out and presented in this study through non-linear Finite Element Method (FEM) using the commercial ABAQUS 6.10 software package. The performance of the opening beam reinforced with GFRP is influenced by several key parameters. Simulation analyses were carried out to determine the behavior of beam with opening subjected to monotonic loading. The main parameters considered in this study are size of opening and reinforcement diameter. The results show that GFRP give 23%-29% more ductility than steel reinforcement. The result also shows when the size of opening change from 200mm to 150mm or from 150mm to 100mm the ultimate load capacity increase by 15%. In general, good agreement between the Finite Element (FE) simulation and the available experimental result has been obtained.

The applications of using fly ash-based geopolymer as a structural member and a repair materials in reinforced concrete structure was conducted. The optimum mix proportion of fly ash-based geopolymer concrete using for structural beam and fly ash-based geopolymer mortar using for repair material were developed. The flexural behavior of fly ash-based geopolymer reinforced concrete and the durability aspect namely the corrosion of steel reinforcement were investigated using the electrical acceleration. For the repair purpose, the fundamental properties; that is, compressive strength, flexural strength, bonding strength between fly ash-based geopolymer mortar and mortar substrate, setting time and chloride penetration were investigated. Also, the durability of conventional reinforced concrete beam repaired by the fly ash-based geopolymer mortar comparing with the comercial repair mortar was investigated. The behavior of the fly ash-based geopolymer reinforced concrete beam was similar to that of the conventional reinforced concrete beam; however, the corrosion of the steel reinforcement of the fly ash-based geopolymer reinforced concrete beam was higher than that of the conventional reinforced concrete beam. The fundamental properties of the fly ash-based geopolymer mortar were not different from that of the commercial repair materials; however, the durability of the reinforced concrete beam repaired by the fly ash-based geopolymer mortars performed a little lower than that of repaired with the commercial repair motar and also the control reinforced concrete with no repair. As a result, even there will be still a need of improvement there was a good tendency for using the fly ash-based geopolymer as the structural member and the repair materials.

Many engineering facilities are severely damaged by blast loading. Therefore, many manufacturers of sensitive, breakable, and deformed structures (such as facades of glass buildings) carry out studies and set standards for these installations to withstand shock waves caused by explosions. Structural engineers also use these standards in their designs for various structural elements by following the ISO Damage Carve, which links pressure and Impulse. As all the points below this curve means that the structure is safe and will not exceed the degree of damage based on the various assumptions made. This research aims to derive the Iso-Damage curve of a reinforced concrete beam exposed to blast wave. An advanced volumetric finite element program (ABAQUS) will be used to perform the derivation.
