Numerical modeling of combined reinforcement concrete beam

Concrete Reinforcement Modeling for Efficient Information Sharing

Concrete reinforcing requires coordination among many roles: structural engineer, estimator, detailer, fabricator, installer and others. The methods used to define and represent concrete reinforcement elements and assemblies in building information models is crucial in determining the efficiency of sharing data among BIM platforms and the effectiveness of using the carried data in production pl...

Behavior of Composite Timber-Concrete Beam with CFRP Reinforcement

Numerical simulation of the shear behaviour of reinforced concrete rectangular beam specimens with or without FRP-strip shear reinforcement

The successful validation of a numerical model is presented that can realistically approximate the shear behaviour of reinforced concrete (R/C) rectangular beams strengthened against shear with externally applied open hoop fibre reinforcing polymer (FRP) strips. For this purpose, the measured load-deformation response of ten (10) full-scale R/C beam specimens is utilised. These specimens were l...

Modeling of Reinforcement in Concrete Beams Using Machine Learning Tools

The paper discusses the results obtained to predict reinforcement in singly reinforced beam using Neural Net (NN), Support Vector Machines (SVM’s) and Tree Based Models. Major advantage of SVM’s over NN is of minimizing a bound on the generalization error of model rather than minimizing a bound on mean square error over the data set as done in NN. Tree Based approach divides the problem into a ...

Equilibrium condition nonlinear modeling of a cracked concrete beam using a 2D Galerkin finite volume solver

A constitutive model based on two–dimensional unstructured Galerkin finite volume method (GFVM) is introduced and applied for analyzing nonlinear behavior of cracked concrete structures in equilibrium condition. The developed iterative solver treats concrete as an orthotropic nonlinear material and considers the softening and hardening behavior of concrete under compression and tension by using...
