A complete method to predict the behavior of reinforced concrete structures with beams and columns controlled by flexure is proposed. The concrete is modelled with a damage mechanics approach. The parameters of the model are adjusted on material tests and various procedures that account for confinement and cyclic response. Steel is modelled with a simple
A bending test program on the series of RC deep beams with the effective depth, d, of 200, 400 and 600 mm has been performed. The transverse reinforcement ratio was va~ied from 0.0, 0.4 to 0.8 percent. The distribution of the local strains inside specimens, both of concrete and remforcement, has been measured. The test
In order to investigate the failure mechanism and the failure load of quadruple fastenings with bonded anchors a series of numerical investigation was carried out. The studied specimens were bonded an- chors in a concrete block and subjected to tensile loading. In the calculations the microplane model with re- laxed kinematic constraint was used to
Although several experimental results on bond strength are available and splitting represents an important aspect of bond, only few studies have dealt with splitting-crack development. Splitting is a 3D phe- nomenon but only splitting-crack opening on concrete surface can easily be measured. Accordingly, Finite Element analysis could help understanding splitting-crack development and bond behavior. However,
Fatigue life of concrete beams that are overlaid or underlaid with FRC is analyzed with a frac- ture mechanics based model. The problems analyzed are the cases for concrete beams overlaid or underlaid with hooked-end steel fiber reinforced concrete. For both of overlaid and underlaid beams, three cases of beam heights, three values of fiber
Nonlinear fracture mechanics has been used for simulating the load-carrying behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete floors on elastic bedding. In a numerical parametric study, influences of the fiber content, the slab thickness and the soil stiffness on the structural response of the slab under both service and ultimate conditions were studied. The material properties
Numerical simulation is a valuable tool for getting inside information on the mechanism occurring in fasten- ing technology. The additional knowledge and understanding of the anchoring behavior, like e.g. the load transfer and the damaging state in the base material, is the basis for innovative product development. Reliable simulation results require a sophisticated material modeling,
The development of bending cracks in fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) beams with main rein- forcement bars is modelled applying the fictitious crack model. A beam subject to bending moment and nor- mal force is modelled. Closed form solutions are given for the bending moment and crack opening, spacing and length; all functions of the cross-sectional
