: In this research, some concrete three-point bending specimens (beams) reinforced by FRP are used in numerical simulation to study the influence of the reinforcement on fracture mechanism and the extreme load-bearing capacity of the specimens. The numerical simulation results show the propagation of the crack in concrete is controlled by using FRP. Meanwhile the load-bearing capacity is increased greatly and failure modes are changed.

Abstract The performance of textile reinforced concrete composite panels (TRCCPs) under the action of pseudo-static load up to collapse was evaluated. The test of TRCCPs under axial and transverse loading was conducted, and the results were compared with those for steel wire mesh reinforced-concrete composite panels (SMRCCPs). Ceram-site concrete was utilized as the panel matrix owing to its lightweight and insulation characteristics. The ultimate load bearing capacity, load-deformation and load-strain relationships, and failure modes were discussed and investigated in comparison with the findings of non-linear finite-element-model (FEM) analysis and the analytic method on the basis of the reinforced concrete (RC) theory. The analysis results indicate that TRCCP is suitable for use as a potential structural member for a wall or slab system of buildings, and the typical RC theory can be applied to predict the ultimate load bearing capacity if modified suitably.

The authors present an experimental and analytical study of slotted-in connections for joining walls in the Masonite flexible building (MFB) system. These connections are used for splicing wall elements and for tying down uplifting forces and resisting horizontal shear forces in stabilizing walls. The connection plates are inserted in a perimeter slot in the PlyBoard™ panel (a composite laminated wood panel) and fixed mechanically with screw fasteners. The load-bearing capacity of the slotted-in connection is determined experimentally and derived analytically for different failure modes. The test results show ductile postpeak load-slip characteristics, indicating that a plastic design method can be applied to calculate the horizontal load-bearing capacity of this type of shear walls.

Bearing Behavior

This article proposes a new type of discrete connected precast reinforced concrete diaphragm floor system that consists of precast flat slabs and slab joint connectors. An experimental investigation of discrete connected new-type precast reinforced concrete diaphragm under a vertical distributed static load was conducted, and the effect of slab joint connectors on the load-bearing capacity was evaluated. Then, a finite element analysis of discrete connected new-type precast reinforced concrete diaphragm, precast reinforced concrete floors without slab connectors, and cast-in-situ reinforced concrete floor were performed to understand their working mechanism and determine the differences in load-bearing behavior. The results indicate that the load-bearing capacity and stiffness of discrete connected new-type precast reinforced concrete diaphragm increase considerably as the hairpin and cover plate hybrid slab joint connectors can efficiently connect adjacent precast slabs and enable them to work together under a vertical load by transmitting the shear and moment forces in the orthogonal slab laying direction. The deflection of discrete connected new-type precast reinforced concrete diaphragm in orthogonal slab laying direction is mainly caused by the opening deformation of the slab joint and the rotational deformation of the precast slabs. This flexural deformation feature can provide reference for establishing the bending stiffness analytical model of discrete connected new-type precast reinforced concrete diaphragm in orthogonal slab laying direction, which is vitally important for foundation of the vertical bearing capacity and deformation calculation method. The deflection and crack distribution patterns infer that the discrete connected new-type precast reinforced concrete diaphragm processes the deformation characteristic of two-way slab floor, which can provide a basis for the theoretical analysis of discrete connected new-type precast reinforced concrete diaphragm.

The Relationship

It is presented the formulation and solution of the load bearing capacity of statically indeterminable systems “reinforced concrete beam – deformable base” by spatial cross-sections under force and deformation effects. The solution of problem is currently practically absent in general form. It has been established the relationship between stresses and strains of compressed concrete and tensile reinforcement in the form of diagrams. The properties of the base model connections are described based on a variable rigidity coefficient. It is constructed a system of n equations in the form of the initial parameters method with using the modules of the force (strain) action vector. The equations of state are the dependences that establish the relationship between displacements which are acting on the beam with load. Constants of integration are determined by recurrent formulas. It makes possible to obtain the method of initial parameters in the expanded form and, consequently, the method of displacements for calculating statically indefinable systems. The values of the effort obtained could be used to determine the curvature and rigidity of the sections in this way. It is necessary not to set the vector modulusP, the deformation is set in any section (the module is considered as an unknown) during the problem is solving. This allows us to obtain an unambiguous solution even in the case when the dependence M–χ has a downward section, i.e one value of moment can correspond to two values of curvature.

Based on the experimental results, this paper presents the effects of concrete-filled in chord on the static behavior of rectangular hollow section (RHS) steel tubular trusses, including failure modes, load bearing capacity and structural stiffness. Failure of RHS trusses occurs at joints wether concrete-filled in chord or not, concrete-filled in chord changed the failure mode. Load bearing capacity and stiffness of joints subjected to compression load increased significantly, while it is limited to the tension joints. Concrete-filled in the compression chord tube can increase its stiffness significantly, while tension chord tube, it is not that obvious. Finally, based on the results discussed, failure modes and their formulas of calculating the load bearing capacity are discussed. Meanwhile, two methods, that is, amplified factor method and stiffness discounting method, which calculate the structural displacement when considering the joint deformation effects are presented.

Debonding Load

intermediate crack-induced debondingis one of the most dominant failure modes in FRP-strengthened RC beams. Different code models and provisions have been proposed to mitigateintermediate crack-induced debondingfailure.However, these models and provisions can not mitigate this failure mode effectively. Recnetly, new models have been proposed to solve this problem. Out of all the existing models, four typical ones are investigated in the current study. A comprehensivecomparison among these models is carried out in order to evaluate their performance and accuracy. Test results offlexural specimens with intermediate crack-induced debonding failurecollected from the existing literature are used in the current comparison. The effectivenessand accuracy of each model have been evaluated based on these experimental results. It is shown that the current modals are all conservative and inadequite to effectively mitigate intermediate crack-induced debonding in flexurally strengthened members.
