Size-dependent Prediction of Modulus of Rupture of Concrete
نویسندگان
چکیده
The procedure for experimental-analytical prediction of flexural strength is reviewed. It allows consideration of size effect phenomena with only minor modification of standard laboratory test procedure. Two possibilities are suggested: testing with one size only and testing with two sizes. The application of this procedure to real case, a massive concrete subway tunnel constructed recently in Prague, is shown. This real case study demonstrates feasibility of the proposed approach.

Investigating the Effects of Temperature and Loading Frequency on the Resilient Modulus of SBS Polymer Modified Asphalt Concrete in Dry and Saturated Conditions
Resilient modulus of pavement materials is a key property required for the pavement thickness design. This paper describes the results of an experimental study on the effects of temperature and loading frequency on the resilient modulus of a SBS polymer modified asphalt concrete under dry and saturated conditions. Dynamic creep tests were conducted on dry and saturated specimens of the mixture ...
متن کاملProbabilistic Nonlocal Theory for Quasibrittle Fracture Initiation
The nonlocal probabilistic theory developed in Part I is applied in numerical studies of plain concrete beams and is compared to the existing test data on the modulus of rupture. For normal size test beams, the deterministic theory is found to dominate and give adequate predictions for the mean. But the present probabilistic theory can further provide the standard deviation and the entire proba...

This research deals with the development and comparison of two data-driven models, i.e., Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) models for estimation of 28-day compressive strength of concrete for 160 different mix designs. These various mix designs are constructed based on seven different parameters, i.e., 3/4 mm sand, 3/8 mm sand, cement conten...
متن کاملPrediction of effective moment of inertia for hybrid FRP-steel reinforced concrete beams using the genetic algorithm
Abstract: The use of Concrete beams reinforced with a combination of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) and steel bars has increased dramatically in recent years, due to improvement in strength and flexural ductility simultaneously. In this paper, we proposed a new equation for estimating the effective moment of inertia of hybrid FRP-steel reinforced concrete (RC) beams on the basis of the...
متن کاملThe Elastic Modulus of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) with Random Distribution of Aggregate and Fiber
The present paper offers a meso-scale numerical model to investigate the effects of random distribution of aggregate particles and steel fibers on the elastic modulus of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC). Meso-scale model distinctively models coarse aggregate, cementitious mortar, and Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ) between aggregate, mortar, and steel fibers with their respective materi...
