A new method for modelling reinforcement and bond in finite element analysis of reinforced concreteBajarwan, Abdullah A. January 1989 (has links)
In conventional finite element analysis of reinforced concrete the steel bars are normally assumed to lie along the concrete element edges and very often the bond gripping the steel to the concrete is assumed to be infinitely stiff. The first assumption makes it difficult to model all steel bars leading to the inclusion of only a few representative bars. Shear reinforcement is usually ignored. Thin concrete cover also creates difficulty by causing long thin finite elements in that region. The second assumption does not reflect the true behaviour of the system. In this research a new method for the modelling of steel in reinforced concrete by finite element analysis has been developed which allows all steel reinforcement to be included in the analysis. The method is based on modelling the steel and concrete separately, the two materials being interconnected by the bond forces between them. Thus, bond stiffness is naturally included in the analysis. Such interconnection of steel and concrete is achieved by an interface bond matrix which is derived from the relative displacements between the steel and the concrete at the steel nodes. A linear bond slip relation is assumed for the bond, and a linear stress strain relation is assumed for the concrete and the steel. The work has extended also to nonlinear bond stress-slip relation. Concrete is represented by 8-noded isoparametric quadrilateral elements, and the steel is represented by two noded bar elements. The bond is represented by springs joining each steel node to all 8-concrete nodes. The solution of the resulting system of equations is achieved in an iterative manner which converges quite rapidly, and which requires less computation than the direct solution needs. Three types of problems are analysed in two dimension to demonstrate the application of this new method. These are beam, cantilever and pullout problems. The first two, being real problems, demonstrate the ability of the method to handle complex steel arrangements, thin concrete covers and anchorage of steel, while the third problem shows the application of load to the steel rather than to the concrete. Concrete and steel deformations and stresses are calculated at their nodes. Bond stresses are given at all steel nodes. In the nonlinear bond analysis, deterioration of bond will be demonstrated in pullout and pushout tests at high loads.

Finite element analysis of CFRP prestressed concrete beamsDAS, DEBARSHI 21 November 2013 (has links)
This thesis investigates the shear capacities of carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) prestressed concrete T-beams using a non-linear finite element analysis. The finite element models on ANSYS are validated with the experimental results of four beams having the shear span-to-depth (a/d) ratios of 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 subjected to four-point bending and that of a beam subjected to a uniformly distributed load. The numerical results are within 10% range of accuracy in comparison to the experimental results. The validated models are used to investigate the influence of the a/d ratios and the prestressing force level on the beam capacity. The analysis indicates that the shear capacity of the beams is inversely dependent on the a/d ratio. It also shows that the increase in the prestressing force by 37% results in a 5.1% increase in the beam shear capacity. The comparison of the analysis results and the North American design shear formulas shows that the formula given by the CSA S806-12 gives similar a/d dependency but lower values of shear resistance than the analysis.

Behaviour of GFRP prestressed concrete strapsEl-Sayed, Yasmine 30 September 2011 (has links)
Steel straps are being used for confinement purposes of steel-free bridge deck slab. The objective of this study was to use GFRP prestressed concrete straps as an alternative to steel straps, and assess the effect of the alkaline concrete environment on the long-term performance of GFRP. Each strap was 160 x100 mm2 in cross section, 2000 mm in length and pre-tensioned with two 16 mm diameter GFRP strands. The experimental study included testing three sets of concrete straps, pre-stressed at 35%, 45%, and 55% of ultimate strength of GFRP. The straps were tested in tension after being subjected to temperatures from -25oC to +40 oC in an environmental chamber. Another two sets of straps were cast and tested two and a half years later. The control and conditioned samples achieved comparable results proving that GFRP can withstand prestressing levels higher than 25% and up to 35% of their ultimate strength.
