Critical Evaluation of Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Digital Image Correlation Technique

Evaluation of Fiber Reinforced Cement Using Digital Image Correlation

The effect of short fiber reinforcements on the mechanical properties of cement has been examined using a splitting tensile - digital image correlation (DIC) measurement method. Three short fiber reinforcement materials have been used in this study: fiberglass, nylon, and polypropylene. The method outlined provides a simple experimental setup that can be used to evaluate the ultimate tensile st...

Reliability evaluation of reinforced concrete beams

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the time-invariant reliability of reinforced concrete beams designed under the provisions of the ACI Building Code. A wide range of practical design situations is considered. The beams are subjected to bending, shear, and torsion. The interaction between shear and torsion is considered via an elliptical failure surface defined in the shear-torsion stress...

Fracture Parameter Evaluation Using Digital Image Correlation Technique

Fracture and failure characterization of materials have been a crucial issue regarding reliable structural design. Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) is one of the most commonly used material parameters for more purpose. This study utilized Compact Tension (CT) Specimen test to determine mode-I SIF of polycarbonate material. Force, displacement and images of the near crack tip region were simultaneo...
