Finite Element Stress Computations Applied to Images of Damaged Concrete: A Possible New Diagnostic Tool for Concrete Petrography
نویسنده
چکیده
Concrete petrography is used to assess damaged concrete in order to determine the probable mechanism of damage. However, using traditional petrographic analyses, it is often difficult to say what mechanisms caused the crack damage, since many deterioration mechanisms produce cracks. This article describes a hybrid imaging-finite element modelling technique that can be used to help determine the mechanism of damage in such cases. This application is intended to assist concrete petrographers in the assessment of degradation mechanisms.

TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF PRETENSIONED CONCRETE BEAMS CONSIDERING MATERIAL NONLINEARITY
In this paper, the bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) method is used to find optimal layouts of 3D prestressed concrete beams. Considering the element sensitivity number as the design variable, the mathematical formulation of topology optimization is developed based on the ABAQUS finite element software package. The surface-to-surface contact with a small sliding between...
متن کاملEquilibrium 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...
متن کاملFinite Element Analysis for CFST Columns under Blast Loading
The columns of frame structures are the key load-bearing components and the exterior columns are susceptible to attack in terrorist blasts. When subjected to blast loads, the columns would suffer a loss of bearing capacity to a certain extent due to the damage imparted which may lead to their collapse and even cause the progressive collapse of the whole structure . The concrete-filled steel col...

متن کاملEvaluation of Ultimate Torsional Strength of Reinforcement Concrete Beams Using Finite Element Analysis and Artificial Neural Network
Due to lack of theory of elasticity, estimation of ultimate torsional strength of reinforcement concrete beams is a difficult task. Therefore, the finite element methods could be applied for determination of strength of concrete beams. Furthermore, for complicated, highly nonlinear and ambiguous status, artificial neural networks are appropriate tools for prediction of behavior of such states. ...
