Crack band theory for fracture of concrete
A fracture theory for a heterogeneous aggregate material which exhibits a gradual strainsoftening due to microcracking and contains aggregate pieces that are not necessarily small compared to struttural dimensions is developed. Only Mode I is considered. The fracture is modeled as a blunt smeared crack band, which is justified by the random nature of the microstructure. Simple triaxial stress-s...
متن کاملJoint Deterioration in Concrete Pavements
Concrete pavements located in cold climates have been experiencing premature joint deterioration. Entrapment of moisture in the joints saturates the surrounding concrete, rendering it susceptible to freeze–thaw damage. To identify and to isolate the variables that might be causing this localized deterioration, concrete cores were obtained from deteriorated and non-deteriorated sections of US 35...
متن کاملFRP Dowels for Concrete Pavements
A Paper for the World Wise Conference 1999 Winnipeg, Manitoba © November 15, 1999 Introduction Joints are used in concrete pavements in order to control cracking due to thermal and environmental conditions. Dowels span joints to transfer load from one slab to an adjacent slab and to provide vertical and horizontal alignment. Currently, smooth epoxy coated steel dowels are placed across transver...
متن کاملCrack Spacing in Strained Films
Consider a thin film resting on a relatively thick substrate. When the substrate is subjected to an axial strain transverse cracks, normal to the direction, of the applied strain may appear in the film. It is observed that, for a given strain, the spacing between such cracks is uniform, with a clearly identifiable characteristic length scale that can be used to provide bounds on the spacing. Fu...
متن کاملUltrasonic Tomography Technique for Evaluation Concrete Pavements
Ultrasonic tomography is an emerging technology that shows promise for quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) during construction, or for making rehabilitation decisions in concrete pavements. However, the benefits of this emerging technology have not yet been fully captured for widespread use in highway infrastructure management. Verification of a state-of-the-art ultrasonic tomography devi...
