Numerical Analysis of Punching Shear Failure of Reinforced Concrete Slabs

Nearly no load bearing behaviour of reinforced concrete members allows such varied interpretations and complex discussions as the shear behaviour. Especially the three-dimensional problem of the punching shear failure of reinforced concrete members is internationally discussed. Nevertheless up to now, there is no unified design approach or even an overall accepted design model. Especially for l...

Simplified reliability analysis of punching in reinforced concrete flat slab buildings under accidental actions

Flat slab concrete buildings are widely found in infrastructure such as office and residential buildings or industrial facilities. The susceptibility of progressive collapse of such structures due to accidental loads is highly dependent on the structural performance of the slab-column connections. This paper presents a framework for a simplified reliability analysis and derivation of safety fac...

Numerical Simulation of the Reinforced Concrete Barrier Destruction at Impact

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com interaction of airplane body with the shell has been replaced by impulse. Such approach is justified when initial stage of interaction is described, taking that concrete structure contacts quite thin aluminum body (from 3 to 8 mm thick). In this case one does not need to calculate contact boundaries thus simplifying significantly the objective and e...

Specified Domain in Nu-Mu Interaction Diagram for Logical Judgment in Numerical Analysis on Compression Reinforced Concrete Members

A series of specified domains in Nu-Mu interaction diagram are proposed to determine optimal reinforcement schemes for rectangular RC column sections subjected to uniaxial eccentric load. These domains divide the area covered by interaction diagram into four regions of safety zone, compression-controlled zone, balanced failure zone and tensioncontrolled zone, which can help engineer to understa...
