Bond Deformability of Reinforced Concrete Members
The usual earthquake resistant design philosophy of ductile frame buildings allows the beams to form plastic hinges adjacent to beam-column connections. In order to carry out this design philosophy, the ultimate bond or shear strength of the beam should be greater than the flexural yielding force and should not degrade before reaching its required ductility. The behavior of RC members dominated...
متن کاملPrediction of Corrosion-Induced Crack Width of Corroded Reinforced Concrete Structures
This paper presents an experimental investigation on the crack width induced by the corrosion of reinforcing steel bars in concrete. Reinforcing steel bars with different diameters were corroded using an accelerated test in three types of concrete members, including 24 beams with corroded stirrup and 20 beams with corroded longitudinal reinforcing steel bars. The corrosion patterns and rusts ch...
متن کاملQuasi Distributed OTDR Crack Sensor for Reinforced Concrete Structures
A quasi-distributed fiber optic sensor is developed for embedment in concrete structures. The sensor principles are simple, and therefore, practical for crack detection and deformation measurement in civil structural applications. The distributed sensor developed herein operates based on the intensity measurements of optical power. The sensor consists of a number of individual segments on one l...
متن کاملCracking of Concrete Cover in Frp Reinforced Concrete Elements under Thermal Loads
Synopsis: The effects of thermal loads on the structural performance of FRP reinforced concrete elements are analyzed in this paper. The difference in transverse coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between FRP and concrete causes the presence of tensile stresses within the concrete and, eventually, the formation of cracks when the temperature increases. As part of an inter-university experim...
متن کاملUniaxial Tension Test of Slender Reinforced Early Age Concrete Members
The present study aims to obtain the tensile properties of early age concrete based on a uniaxial tension test employing RC slender members. First, the paper shows that concrete strain is equal to the strain of rebar at the mid-span of the RC member. The tensile Young's modulus and the strain capacity of early age concrete are estimated using strain measurements. The experiment indicated that t...
