Durability Prediction Method of Concrete Soil Based on Deep Belief Network

To truly reflect the durability characteristics of concrete subjected to multiple factors under complex environmental conditions, it is necessary to discuss the prediction of its durability. In response to the problem of durability prediction of traditional concrete structures, there is a low prediction accuracy, and the predicted time is long, and a concrete structural durability prediction method based on the deep belief network is proposed. The influencing factors of the concrete structural durability parameters are analyzed by two major categories of concrete material and external environmental conditions, and the transmission of chloride ions in the concrete structure is described. According to the disconnection of the steel bars, the durability of the concrete structure is started, and the determination is determined. The concrete structural antiflexural strength, using a deep belief network training concrete structural antiflexural strength judgment data, constructs a concrete structural durability predictive model and completes the durability prediction of the concrete structure based on the deep belief network. The proposed prediction method based on the deep belief network has a high prediction accuracy of 98% for the durability of concrete column structures. The simulation results show that the concrete structural durability’s prediction accuracy is high and the prediction time is short. The prediction of concrete durability discussed here has important guiding significance for the improvement of concrete durability test methods and the improvement of concrete durability evaluation standards in China.

Study on Strength and Durability Properties of Bacterial Concrete

The primary thought of this review is to assess the strength and durability properties of high strength concrete specimens by replacing cement with bacteria for healing cracks. Concrete is the most commonly used construction material all around the world. Cracks are formed due to various reasons. The cracks act as a pathway through which water and toxic salts enter. This causes corrosion and also leads to failure of structure. Repair and Rehabilitation works are costly to be done. In order to overcome this, bacteria is induced into the concrete which leads to the process of Microbial Induced Calcium Precipitate (MICP). The cracks heal by self-healing mechanism and results in crack free concrete structure. It also improves the compressive and tensile strength. In this article a new bacterium has been cultured and identified and is used as a self-healing material in M30 Grade concrete.

Creep Behaviour of Reinforced Concrete Beam under Long-Term Bending

Concrete structure after casting will be subjected to external load, peripheral components and other constraints, the overall performance of the structure under a long-term loading state will change continuously. In practical engineering, reinforcement is usually calculated and configured based on external load, but the role of reinforcement in the continuous loading process of concrete structure is not fully considered. Based on the elastic creep theory, this paper deduces the concrete creep calculation formula considering the influence of reinforcement, and analyses the law of the influence of reinforcement ratio and loading age on the strain and stress of concrete. The results show that the reinforcement can effectively restrain the deformation of concrete and reduce the load level of concrete.

EFFECTS OF SHEAR WALLS ON A TYPICAL FOUR-STORY REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURE SUBJECTED TO SEVERE EARTHQUAKE EVENTS

Various seismic-resistant design methods are used to ensure the stability of multi-story buildings against lateral forces caused by earthquakes. Utilization of reinforced concrete shear walls is one of the most reliable methods of design and construction of earthquake-resistant buildings because it increases structural resistance to lateral loads and stiffens and strengthens the structure, thereby minimizing earthquake-induced damages. This paper investigates the beneficial effects of using shear walls in the structural design of a typical low-rise building to improve its resistance to earthquake events. To this end, a four-story reinforced concrete structure is modeled first without shear walls, then with the addition to shear walls. The 2002 Denali Alaska earthquake is used as an example of a severe seismic excitation because it is considered the most massive strike-slip earthquake in North America in almost 150 year. SAP2000 is used to perform the dynamic analysis. In order to obtain an accurate representation of the structure’s behavior, response modal nonlinear time-history dynamic analysis is utilized to analyze and compare the response of the building with and without shear walls. Study results showed that shear walls are very effective in achieving compliance with seismic design codes. In addition, the use of shear walls significantly reduces the shear stresses, bending moments, and displacements of the various members of the structure.
