Monotonic and Fatigue Performance of RC Beams Strengthened with Externally Post-Tensioned CFRP Tendons

El Refai, Ahmed January 2007 (has links)
External post-tensioning is an attractive technique for strengthening reinforced concrete structures because of its ability to actively control stresses and deflections, speed of installation, minimum interruption for the existing structure, and ease of inspection under service conditions. However, external prestressing implies exposing the tendons to the environment outside the concrete section, which may lead to corrosion in steel tendons. Therefore, the interest in using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) tendons, which are corrosion resistant, has increased. The present work investigated, experimentally and analytically, the flexural performance of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with externally post-tensioned Carbon FRP (CFRP) tendons, under monotonic and fatigue loadings. Initially, tensile fatigue tests were carried out on CFRP tendon-anchor assemblies to assess their response under repeated cyclic loads, before implementing them in the beam tests. New wedge-type anchors (Waterloo anchors) were used in gripping the CFRP specimens. The assemblies exhibited excellent fatigue performance with no premature failure occurring at the anchorage zone. The fatigue tests suggested a fatigue limit of a stress range of 10% of the tendon ultimate capacity (approximately 216 MPa). Monotonic and fatigue experiments on twenty-eight beams (152x254x3500 mm) were then undertaken. Test parameters included the tendon profile (straight and double draped), the initial loading condition of the beam prior to post-tensioning (in-service and overloading), the partial prestressing ratio (0.36 and 0.46), and the load ranges applied to the beam during the fatigue life (39% to 76% of the yield load). The CFRP tendons were post-tensioned at 40% of their ultimate capacity. The monotonic tests of the post-tensioned beams suggested that overloading the beam prior to post-tensioning increased the beam deflections and the strains developed in the steel reinforcing bars at any stage of loading. However, overloading had no significant effect on the yield load of the strengthened beam and the mode of failure at ultimate. It also had no discernable effect on the increase in the tendon stress at yielding. The maximum increase in the CFRP stress at yield load was approximately 20% of the initial post-tensioning stress, for the in-service and overloaded beams. A very good performance of the strengthened beams was observed under fatigue loading. The fatigue life of the beams was mainly governed by the fatigue fracture of the internal steel reinforcing bars at a flexural crack location. Fracture of the bars occurred at the root of a rib where high stress concentration was likely to occur. No evidence of wear or stress concentration were observed at the deviated points of the CFRP tendons due to fatigue. The enhancement in the fatigue life of the strengthened beams was noticeable at all load ranges applied. Post-tensioning considerably decreased the stresses in the steel reinforcing bars and, consequently, increased the fatigue life of the beams. The increase in the fatigue life was slightly affected by the loading history of the beams. At the same load range applied to the beam, increasing the amount of the steel reinforcing bars for the same post-tensioning level decreased the stress range in the bars and significantly increased the fatigue life of the strengthened beams. In the analytical study, a monotonic model that predicts the non-linear flexural response of the CFRP post-tensioned beams was developed and implemented into a computer program. The model takes into account the loading history of the strengthened beams prior to post-tensioning (in-service and overloading). Good agreement was obtained between the measured and the predicted monotonic results. A strain-life based fatigue model was proposed to predict the fatigue life of the CFRP post-tensioned beams. The model takes into consideration the stress-strain history at the stress raisers in the steel bars. It accounts for the inelastic deformation occurring at the ribs during cycling and the resulting changes in the local mean stresses induced. Good agreement between the experimental and predicted fatigue results was observed. A step-by-step fatigue design approach is proposed for the CFRP externally post-tensioned beams. General conclusions of the study and recommendations of future work are given.

Estudo comparativo da interação solo-geogrelha por meio de ensaios de arrancamento monotônico e cíclico utilizando equipamentos de pequenas e grandes dimensões / Comparative study of soil-geogrid interaction through monotonic and cyclic pullout tests using small and large dimensions equipments

Sergio Arturo Rincón Barajas 02 August 2016 (has links)
O melhor comportamento de uma estrutura de solo reforçado com geossintéticos não depende só da elevada resistência à tração da inclusão, mas também da sua rigidez e do nível de carregamento sob o qual a estrutura está submetida. Dessa maneira, a interação entre o reforço e as respectivas camadas de solo ao seu redor torna-se de grande importância, pois a mobilização cisalhante combina a deformação da interface solo-reforço e o alongamento do geossintético. Sendo que a melhor forma de avaliar a interação entre o solo e a geogrelha é por meio de ensaios de arrancamento, pensa-se na realização de ensaios de arrancamento cíclico para analisar a interação dinâmica entre o solo e a inclusão quando certas estruturas são submetidas a esse tipo de solicitação. Por causa disso, o objetivo principal deste trabalho é analisar o efeito produzido por carregamentos monotônicos e cíclicos de interface numa geogrelha biaxial de polipropileno, quando inserida na interface de um solo argiloso e um solo arenoso sob diferentes tensões de confinamento. Para isso, são utilizados os equipamentos de pequenas e grandes dimensões do Laboratório de Geossintéticos da EESC-USP, visando avaliar a sua relação e a viabilidade de uso do equipamento de pequenas dimensões. Inicialmente foram realizados ensaios de arrancamento monotônico em ambos os equipamentos sob tensões de confinamento de 25, 50 e 100 kPa, sendo que as resistências obtidas com as tensões de 25 e 100 kPa permitiram definir as amplitudes do carregamento cíclico correspondentes ao 20% de tais valores. Adicionalmente, após a aplicação dos 10.000 ciclos de carga correspondentes à capacidade do equipamento, foi aplicado novamente um carregamento monotônico com o intuito de determinar o efeito do carregamento dinâmico na resistência ao arrancamento e assim poder realizar as respectivas comparações com os valores iniciais. Com base nos resultados obtidos, foi possível observar a diferença no grau de confinamento entre ambos os equipamentos, sendo maior no de grandes dimensões por causa da melhor distribuição das tensões sobre a área ocupada pela geogrelha. Adicionalmente, o grau de confinamento em ambos os equipamentos também influenciou a diferença no efeito do carregamento dinâmico, sendo de desconfinamento no de grandes dimensões e de densificação no de pequenas dimensões. / The best behavior of a reinforced soil structure with geosynthetics not only depends on the high tensile strength of the inclusion, but also on its rigidity and the loading level in which the structure is subjected. Thus, the interaction between the reinforcement and the respective layers of soil around, becomes very important because the shear mobilization combines the deformation of the soil-reinforcement interface and the lengthening of the geosynthetic. Since the best way to assess the soil-geogrid interaction is through pullout tests, it is thought in performing cyclic pullout tests to examine the dynamic soil-inclusion interaction when some structures are submitted to that kind of loads. Because of that, the main objective of this work is to analize the effect that is produced by monotonic and cyclic interface loading on a biaxial polypropylene geogrid, when it is inserted into the interface of a clayey soil and a sandy soil under different confinement stresses. For that, the small and large dimensions equipments of the Geosynthetics Laboratory at EESC-USP are used, looking to evaluate their relationship and the feasibility of using a small dimensions equipment. Initially, they were performed monotonic pullout tests in both equipments under confinement stresses of 25, 50 and 100 kPa, wherein the pullout strengths obtained with 25 and 100 kPa allowed the definition of the load cyclic amplitudes, which corresponded to 20% of such values. Additionally, after applying 10.000 load cycles, corresponding to the capacity of the equipment, it was applied a monotonic loading in order to determine the dynamic loading effect on pullout strength, being useful to compare such values with the initial response. Based on the obtained results, it was possible to observe the difference in the confinement degree between both equipments, being higher in the large one because of the better stress distribution on the geogrid area. Aditionally, the confinement degree in both equipments also influenced the difference in the dynamic loading effect, being deconfinement in the soil-geogrid interface of the large one and densification in the other one.

Segmentação de objetos via transformada imagem-floresta orientada com restrições de conexidade / Object segmentation by oriented image foresting transform with connectivity constraints

Lucy Alsina Choque Mansilla 10 August 2018 (has links)
Segmentação de objetos em imagens é um dos problemas mais fundamentais e desafiadores em processamento de imagem e visão computacional. O conhecimento de alto nível e específico do usuário é frequentemente requerido no processo de segmentação, devido à presença de fundos heterogêneos, objetos com bordas fracamente definidas, inomogeneidade de campo, ruído, artefatos, efeitos de volume parcial e seus efeitos conjuntos. Propriedades globais do objeto de interesse, tais como conexidade, restrições de forma e polaridade de borda, são conhecimentos prévios de alto nível úteis para a sua segmentação, permitindo a customização da segmentação para um objeto alvo. Nesse trabalho, apresentamos um novo método chamado Transformada Imagem-Floresta Orientada Conexa (COIFT, Connected Oriented Image Foresting Transform), que fornece soluções ótimas globais de acordo com uma medida de corte em grafo, incorporando a restrição de conexidade na Transformada Imagem-Floresta Orientada (OIFT, Oriented Image Foresting Transform), com o fim de garantir a geração de objetos conexos, bem como permitir o controle simultâneo da polaridade de borda. Enquanto o emprego de restrições de conexidade em outros arcabouços, tais como no algoritmo de corte-mínimo/fluxo-máximo (min-cut/max-flow), leva a um problema NP-difícil, a COIFT conserva o baixo custo computacional da OIFT. Experimentos mostram que a COIFT pode melhorar consideravelmente a segmentação de objetos com partes finas e alongadas, para o mesmo número de sementes em segmentação baseada em marcadores. / Object segmentation is one of the most fundamental and challenging problems in image processing and computer vision. The high-level and specific knowledge of the user is often required in the segmentation process, due to the presence of heterogeneous backgrounds, objects with poorly defined boundaries, field inhomogeneity, noise, artifacts, partial volume effects and their joint effects. Global properties of the object of interest, such as connectivity, shape constraints and boundary polarity, are useful high-level priors for its segmentation, allowing the customization of the segmentation for a given target object. In this work, we introduce a new method called Connected Oriented Image Foresting Transform (COIFT), which provides global optimal solutions according to a graph-cut measure in graphs, subject to the connectivity constraint in the Oriented Image Foresting Transform (OIFT), in order to ensure the generation of connected objects, as well as allowing the simultaneous control of the boundary polarity. While the use of connectivity constraints in other frameworks, such as in the min-cut/max-flow algorithm, leads to a NP-Hard problem, COIFT retains the low computational cost of OIFT. Experiments show that COIFT can considerably improve the segmentation of objects with thin and elongated parts, for the same number of seeds in segmentation based on markers.

Contraintes temporelles dans les bases de données de capteurs sans fil / Temporal constraints in wireless sensor databases

Belfkih, Abderrahmen 17 October 2016 (has links)
Dans ce travail, nous nous focalisons sur l’ajout de contraintes temporelles dans les Bases de Données de Capteurs Sans Fil (BDCSF). La cohérence temporelle d’une BDCSF doit être assurée en respectant les contraintes temporelles des transactions et la validité temporelle des données, pour que les données prélevées par les capteurs reflètent fidèlement l’état réel de l’environnement. Cependant, les retards de transmission et/ou de réception pendant la collecte des données peuvent conduire au non-respect de la validité temporelle des données. Une solution de type bases de données s'avère la plus adéquate. Il faudrait pour cela faire coïncider les aspects BD traditionnelles avec les capteurs et leur environnement. À cette fin, les capteurs déployés au sein d'un réseau sans fils sont considérés comme une table d'une base de données distribuée, à laquelle sont appliquées des transactions (interrogations, mises à jour, etc.). Les transactions sur une BD de capteurs nécessitent des modifications pour prendre en compte l'aspect continu des données et l'aspect temps réel. Les travaux réalisés dans cette thèse portent principalement sur trois contributions : (i) une étude comparative des propriétés temporelles entre une collecte périodique des données avec une base de données classique et une approche de traitement des requêtes avec une BDCSF, (ii) la proposition d’un modèle de traitement des requêtes temps réel, (iii) la mise en œuvre d’une BDCSF temps réel, basée sur les techniques décrites dans la deuxième contribution. / In this thesis, we are interested in adding real-time constraints in the Wireless Sensor Networks Database (WSNDB). Temporal consistency in WSNDB must be ensured by respecting the transaction deadlines and data temporal validity, so that sensor data reflect the current state of the environment. However, delays of transmission and/or reception in a data collection process can lead to not respect the data temporal validity. A database solution is most appropriate, which should coincide with the traditional database aspects with sensors and their environment. For this purpose, the sensor in WSN is considered as a table in a distributed database, which applied transactions (queries, updates, etc.). Transactions in a WSNDB require modifications to take into account of the continuous datastream and real-time aspects. Our contribution in this thesis focus on three parts: (i) a comparative study of temporal properties between a periodic data collection based on a remote database and query processing approach with WSNDB, (ii) the proposition of a real-time query processing model, (iii) the implementation of a real time WSNDB, based on the techniques described in the second contribution.

Extraktion von Trends in der Phänologie komplexer Ökosysteme am Beispiel des westafrikanischen Niger Binnendeltas für den Zeitraum 1982‑2006 : Auswertung von NOAA‑AVHRR Zeitreihen

Seiler, Ralf 11 February 2014 (has links)
Die vorliegende Arbeit analysiert die Phänologie photosynthetisch aktiver Vegetation mit Hilfe von NDVI Zeitreihen für einen Zeitraum von 24 Jahren (AVHRR‑GIMMS Daten). Neben einer Datierung des jahreszeitlichen Wechsels zwischen Wachstums-, Reife- und Seneszenzphase wird das Ziel verfolgt, Trends sowohl in phänologischen Ereignissen (Start-of-Season) als auch im NDVI zu identifizieren. Das, in der semi-ariden Sahelregion gelegene, Untersuchungsgebiet weist mit zwei sich teilweise überlagernden Vegetationsperioden eine komplexe Phänologie auf, deren Modellierung durch die sowohl in ihren Zeitpunkten als auch in ihren Ausprägungen hoch variablen Vegetationsabläufe erschwert wird. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist zunächst ein, auf der Fourieranalyse basierender, Ansatz zur flexiblen Glättung der NDVI Zeitreihen entwickelt worden. Um für die Trendanalyse lineare Regressionsverfahren einsetzen zu können, sind die Zeitreihen nach dem Komponentenmodell untergliedert worden (Subtraktion der Saisonfigur). Alternativ kam der saisonale MANN-KENDALL Trendtest zur Anwendung. Die NDVI Zeitreihen wurden ebenfalls auf Änderungen im mehrjährigen Mittelwert (Bruchpunkte) untersucht. Alle Auswertungen sind in einer eigenen Applikation umgesetzt worden. Es konnte gezeigt werden, daß Änderungen im NDVI Niveau eher abrupt als graduell verlaufen. Langfristige Trends weisen nur geringe Anstiege auf. Die Vegetation erholte sich von der Dürre 1984/85 nur im südlichen Teil des Untersuchungsgebietes, im Norden dominieren langfristig negative Trends. Brüche im mean der NDVI Zeitreihen korrelieren mit Brüchen im Abflußverhalten des Niger.

Schedulability Tests for Real-Time Uni- and Multiprocessor Systems: Focusing on Partitioned Approaches

Müller, Dirk 19 February 2014 (has links)
This work makes significant contributions in the field of sufficient schedulability tests for rate-monotonic scheduling (RMS) and their application to partitioned RMS. Goal is the maximization of possible utilization in worst or average case under a given number of processors. This scenario is more realistic than the dual case of minimizing the number of necessary processors for a given task set since the hardware is normally fixed. Sufficient schedulability tests are useful for quick estimates of task set schedulability in automatic system-synthesis tools and in online scheduling where exact schedulability tests are too slow. Especially, the approach of Accelerated Simply Periodic Task Sets (ASPTSs) and the concept of circular period similarity are cornerstones of improvements in the success ratio of such schedulability tests. To the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first application of circular statistics in real-time scheduling. Finally, the thesis discusses the use of sharp total utilization thresholds for partitioned EDF. A constant-time admission control is enabled with a controlled residual risk. / Diese Arbeit liefert entscheidende Beiträge im Bereich der hinreichenden Planbarkeitstests für ratenmonotones Scheduling (RMS) und deren Anwendung auf partitioniertes RMS. Ziel ist die Maximierung der möglichen Last im Worst Case und im Average Case bei einer gegebenen Zahl von Prozessoren. Dieses Szenario ist realistischer als der duale Fall der Minimierung der Anzahl der notwendigen Prozessoren für eine gegebene Taskmenge, da die Hardware normalerweise fixiert ist. Hinreichende Planbarkeitstests sind für schnelle Schätzungen der Planbarkeit von Taskmengen in automatischen Werkzeugen zur Systemsynthese und im Online-Scheduling sinnvoll, wo exakte Einplanungstests zu langsam sind. Insbesondere der Ansatz der beschleunigten einfach-periodischen Taskmengen und das Konzept der zirkulären Periodenähnlichkeit sind Eckpfeiler für Verbesserungen in der Erfolgsrate solcher Einplanungstests. Nach bestem Wissen ist das die erste Anwendung zirkulärer Statistik im Echtzeit-Scheduling. Schließlich diskutiert die Arbeit plötzliche Phasenübergänge der Gesamtlast für partitioniertes EDF. Eine Zugangskontrolle konstanter Zeitkomplexität mit einem kontrollierten Restrisiko wird ermöglicht.

Mikrostrukturorientierte Charakterisierung mechanischer Eigenschaften von AlSi10 gelöteten CrNi Stahl/Aluminium Mischverbunden

Fedorov, Vasilii 16 March 2022 (has links)
Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Herstellung von CrNi-Stahl/Aluminium-Mischverbunden mit dem Ziel der Verbesserung der mechanischen Eigenschaften und der Erhöhung der Lebensdauer der Lötverbindungen. Da sich die Eigenschaften der Fügepartner stark unterscheiden, ist ein geeignetes Fügeverfahren erforderlich. Die wesentliche Herausforderung besteht in der Vermeidung der Bildung von dicken intermetallischen Schichten in der Reaktionszone, welche die mechanischen Eigenschaften der resultierenden Lötverbindungen verschlechtern. Dementsprechend wird ausgehend vom Stand der Technik ein Konzept zur vollständigen Untersuchung der Mikrostruktur-Eigenschafts-Beziehungen der Mischverbunde erarbeitet und umgesetzt. Die Mischverbunde werden durch Induktionslöten hergestellt, was einen lokalen Wärmeeintrag in die Fügestelle ermöglicht. Dadurch können Lötverbindungen mit dünnen Reaktionszonen erzeugt werden. Das Potenzial der Lötverbindungen wird anhand von Zugscher- und Ermüdungsversuchen aufgezeigt, die mit den Ergebnissen der Mikrostrukturanalyse und der fraktografischen Bewertung korreliert werden.:Abkürzungen und Formelzeichen iii Abkürzungen iii Formelzeichen iv Abbildungsverzeichnis v Tabellenverzeichnis xi 1 Einleitung und Motivation 1 2 Stand der Technik 2 2.1 Anwendungen von Stahl/Aluminium-Mischverbunden 2 2.2 Stoffschlüssiges Fügen von Stahl/Aluminium-Mischverbunden 3 2.2.1 Schweißen von Stahl/Aluminium-Mischverbunden 3 2.2.2 Löten von Stahl/Aluminium-Mischverbunden 8 2.2.2.1 Grundlagen 8 2.2.2.2 Verfahren und Lotwerkstoffe 10 2.3 Besonderheiten bei Stahl/Aluminium-Mischverbunden 15 2.3.1 Intermetallische Fe-Al-Verbindungen in der Reaktionszone 15 2.3.2 Kontrolle der Bildung und des Wachstums der Reaktionszone 20 2.3.3 Problematik bei mechanischer Charakterisierung der Mischverbunde 23 3 Folgerungen und Zielstellung 27 4 Experimentelle Durchführung 29 4.1 Grund- und Lotwerkstoffe 29 4.2 Benetzungs- und Lötversuche 31 4.3 Mikrostrukturelle Charakterisierung 34 4.3.1 Mikrostrukturanalyse 34 4.3.2 Mikrohärtemessung und Nanoindentation 35 4.3.3 Thermische Auslagerung 37 4.4 Mechanische Charakterisierung 39 4.4.1 Zugscher- und Warmzugscherversuche 39 4.4.2 Ermüdungsversuche 40 5 Ergebnisse 43 5.1 Benetzungsverhalten 43 5.2 Mikrostrukturelle Untersuchungen 45 5.2.1 Mikrostruktur der Lötverbindungen und Bildung der Reaktionszone 45 5.2.2 Mechanische Charakteristika der Gefügebestandteile 55 5.3 Festigkeitsuntersuchungen 59 5.3.1 Quasistatische Untersuchungen gelöteter Mischverbunde 59 5.3.2 Ermüdungsverhalten gelöteter Mischverbunde 69 5.4 Korrelation zwischen Reaktionszonendicke und Festigkeit 81 6 Diskussion der Ergebnisse 88 7 Zusammenfassung und Ausblick 92 8 Anlagen 93 8.1 Übersicht der Benetzungsproben auf Stahl X5CrNi18-10 93 8.2 Übersicht der Benetzungsproben auf AlMn1Cu 94 8.3 Beispiel der Ergebnisse der EDX-Analyse 95 8.4 Härteverlauf über die Reaktionszone 96 8.5 EBSD-Analyse der Lötverbindung 97 8.6 Mikrozugversuche 98 8.7 TEM-Untersuchungen der hergestellten Lötverbindungen 99 9 Literaturverzeichnis 102 10 Normenverzeichnis 112 11 Publikationen 113 / This thesis deals with the production of aluminum/stainless steel mixed joints in order to improve the mechanical properties and to extend the lifetime of the joints. Because of the different physical properties of the joining partners, a suitable joining technique is necessary. In comparison to welding, brazing offers significant advantages due to the lower liquidus temperature of the used brazing fillers. The main challenge is to prevent the formation of thick intermetallic layers in the reaction zone. These layers deteriorate the mechanical properties of the resulting joints predominantly. Correspondingly, a concept for the complete investigation of the microstructure-property relationships of the brazed joints is investigated. The joints are produced by induction brazing, which takes place in a short process time and allows a local heat input into the joint. Therefore, joints with a thin intermetallic layer in the reaction zone can be manufactured. The potential of the joints is demonstrated using monotonic tensile shear tests as well as fatigue tests. The achieved results are correlated with the results of the microstructural and fractographic analysis.:Abkürzungen und Formelzeichen iii Abkürzungen iii Formelzeichen iv Abbildungsverzeichnis v Tabellenverzeichnis xi 1 Einleitung und Motivation 1 2 Stand der Technik 2 2.1 Anwendungen von Stahl/Aluminium-Mischverbunden 2 2.2 Stoffschlüssiges Fügen von Stahl/Aluminium-Mischverbunden 3 2.2.1 Schweißen von Stahl/Aluminium-Mischverbunden 3 2.2.2 Löten von Stahl/Aluminium-Mischverbunden 8 2.2.2.1 Grundlagen 8 2.2.2.2 Verfahren und Lotwerkstoffe 10 2.3 Besonderheiten bei Stahl/Aluminium-Mischverbunden 15 2.3.1 Intermetallische Fe-Al-Verbindungen in der Reaktionszone 15 2.3.2 Kontrolle der Bildung und des Wachstums der Reaktionszone 20 2.3.3 Problematik bei mechanischer Charakterisierung der Mischverbunde 23 3 Folgerungen und Zielstellung 27 4 Experimentelle Durchführung 29 4.1 Grund- und Lotwerkstoffe 29 4.2 Benetzungs- und Lötversuche 31 4.3 Mikrostrukturelle Charakterisierung 34 4.3.1 Mikrostrukturanalyse 34 4.3.2 Mikrohärtemessung und Nanoindentation 35 4.3.3 Thermische Auslagerung 37 4.4 Mechanische Charakterisierung 39 4.4.1 Zugscher- und Warmzugscherversuche 39 4.4.2 Ermüdungsversuche 40 5 Ergebnisse 43 5.1 Benetzungsverhalten 43 5.2 Mikrostrukturelle Untersuchungen 45 5.2.1 Mikrostruktur der Lötverbindungen und Bildung der Reaktionszone 45 5.2.2 Mechanische Charakteristika der Gefügebestandteile 55 5.3 Festigkeitsuntersuchungen 59 5.3.1 Quasistatische Untersuchungen gelöteter Mischverbunde 59 5.3.2 Ermüdungsverhalten gelöteter Mischverbunde 69 5.4 Korrelation zwischen Reaktionszonendicke und Festigkeit 81 6 Diskussion der Ergebnisse 88 7 Zusammenfassung und Ausblick 92 8 Anlagen 93 8.1 Übersicht der Benetzungsproben auf Stahl X5CrNi18-10 93 8.2 Übersicht der Benetzungsproben auf AlMn1Cu 94 8.3 Beispiel der Ergebnisse der EDX-Analyse 95 8.4 Härteverlauf über die Reaktionszone 96 8.5 EBSD-Analyse der Lötverbindung 97 8.6 Mikrozugversuche 98 8.7 TEM-Untersuchungen der hergestellten Lötverbindungen 99 9 Literaturverzeichnis 102 10 Normenverzeichnis 112 11 Publikationen 113

Rehabilitation of Exterior RC Beam-Column Joints using Web-Bonded FRP Sheets

Mahini, Seyed Saeid Unknown Date (has links)
In a Reinforced Concrete (RC) building subjected to lateral loads such as earthquake and wind pressure, the beam to column joints constitute one of the critical regions, especially the exterior ones, and they must be designed and detailed to dissipate large amounts of energy without a significant loss of, strength, stiffness and ductility. This would be achieved when the beam-column joints are designed in such a way that the plastic hinges form at a distance away from the column face and the joint region remain elastic. In existing frames, an easy and practical way to implement this behaviour following the accepted design philosophy of the strong-column weak-beam concept is the use a Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) retrofitting system. In the case of damaged buildings, this can be achieved through a FRP repairing system. In the experimental part of this study, seven scaled down exterior subassemblies were tested under monotonic or cyclic loads. All specimens were designed following the strong-column weak-beam principal. The three categories selected for this investigation included the FRP-repaired and FRP-retrofitted specimens under monotonic loads and FRP-retrofitted specimen under cyclic loads. All repairing/retrofitting was performed using a new technique called a web-bonded FRP system, which was developed for the first time in the current study. On the basis of test results, it was concluded that the FRP repairing/retrofitting system can restore/upgrade the integrity of the joint, keeping/upgrading its strength, stiffness and ductility, and shifting the plastic hinges from the column face toward the beam in such a way that the joint remains elastic. In the analytical part of this study, a closed-form solution was developed in order to predict the physical behaviour of the repaired/retrofitted specimens. Firstly, an analytical model was developed to calculate the ultimate moment capacity of the web-bonded FRP sections considering two failure modes, FRP rupture and tension failure, followed by an extended formulation for estimating the beam-tip displacement. Based on the analytical model and the extended formulation, failure mechanisms of the test specimens were implemented into a computer program to facilitate the calculations. All seven subassemblies were analysed using this program, and the results were found to be in good agreement with those obtained from experimental study. Design curves were also developed to be used by practicing engineers. In the numerical part of this study, all specimens were analysed by a nonlinear finite element method using ANSYS software. Numerical analysis was performed for three purposes: to calculate the first yield load of the specimens in order to manage the tests; to investigate the ability of the web-bonded FRP system to relocate the plastic hinge from the column face toward the beam; and to calibrate and confirm the results obtained from the experiments. It was concluded that numerical analysis using ANSYS could be considered as a practical tool in the design of the web-bonded FRP beam-column joints.
