Abstract:

In today’s fast paced construction industry, there is an ever present need to increase productivity and to complete projects as quickly as possible. Reinforced concrete is a popular and widely used construction material. However it has the unfortunate drawback in that the concrete requires time to set and gain sufficient strength before loads may be applied and the formwork and props can be removed. It is therefore desirable to keep propping times to a minimum. If the propping is removed too early, there is a risk of the member deflecting excessively and exceeding the maximum allowable limits,

Abstract:

Composite slab flooring systems for steel-framed buildings consist of a profiled steel deck and a cast in-situ slab. The slab traditionally includes a layer of light gauge steel mesh reinforcement. This mesh is placed near the surface, which controls the early-age cracking caused by concrete drying and shrinkage. The steel mesh also performs a vital structural role at high temperatures. Structural fire tests and numerical investigations over the last 15 years have established that the mesh can provide enhanced fire resistance. A load-carrying mechanism occurs in fire with the mesh acting as a

In the framework of the conservation of early reinforced concrete structures from the last third of the 19th century up to 1914, this research deals with superstructures (excluding foundations, roads, pipes, etc.) in reinforced concrete (in the modern sense of the term – i.e. concrete made with artificial cement and rebars supplying tensile strength; thus, the combination of a metal profile embedded in concrete is excluded). The development of reinforced concrete as a building material started around 1880 and became widespread around the time of the First World War. Some of the structures conc

Abstract:

It is crucial for a building to maintain structural stability when subjected to multiple and sequential extreme loads. Safety and economic considerations dictate that structures are built to resist extreme events, such as a earthquakes, impacts, blasts or fires, without collapse and to provide adequate time for evacuation of the occupants. However, during such events, some structural damage may be permissible. Design codes do not account for the scenario where two extreme events occur consecutively on a structure nor do they address the situation of the structure having some initial damage pri

Abstract:

The finite element (FE) method is a powerful technique that can provide numerical solutions to the response of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. However, results obtained from FE models are often not objective in the sense that the numerical solutions of FE models depend on aspects such as the selection of mesh size, load step size etc. FE model objectivity aims at the development of FE models for which the predicted results converge with refinement. To date, many research studies have been carried out on the objectivity of FE solutions for RC structures. However, considerable uncertainty s

Abstract:

Most of the new Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures which are built nowadays have a high safety level. Nevertheless, we cannot claim the same for structures built in the past. Many of these were designed without any regulations, or are based on those which have proved to be inadequate. Additionally, it seems that many old structures have reached the end of their service life and, in many cases, were designed to carry loads significantly lower than the current needs specify. Therefore, the structural evaluation and intervention are considered necessary, so they can meet the same requirements as

Recently, economical, structurally effective and practically applicable seismic retrofitting techniques are being developed in METU Structural Mechanics Laboratory to overcome these kinds of problems.

Abstract:

Reinforced concrete frames display nonlinear behavior both due to its composite nature and the material properties of concrete itself. The yielding of the reinforcement, the non-uniform distribution of aggregates and the development of cracks under loading are the main reasons of nonlinearity. The stiffness of a frame element depends on the combination of the modulus of elasticity and the geometric properties of its section - area and the moment of inertia. In practice, the elastic modulus is assumed to be constant throughout the element and the sectional properties are assumed to remain const

The feasibility of detecting and quantifying delamination at the interface between steel (or GFRP) bar and concrete using ultrasonic guided waves is investigated in this study. These waves can propagate a long distance along the reinforcing steel (or GFRP) bar or concrete beam as guided waves and are sensitive to the interface bonding condition between the steel (or GFRP) bar and concrete. The traditional ultrasonic methods are good for detecting large voids in concrete but not very efficient for detecting delamination at the interface between concrete and steel (GFRP) bar since they use refle

<p>Seismic building codes, such as the Uniform Building Code (UBC) do not allow the equivalent lateral force (ELF) procedure to be used for structures with vertical irregularities. The UBC defines a structure to be irregular based on the ratio of magnitudes of either strength, stiffness, mass, setback or offset of one floor to that of an adjacent floor. The criteria defining the limits of irregularity are somewhat arbitrary, but are introduced in the code to provide unambiguous, enforceable provisions. The purpose of this study is to quantify the definition of irregular structures for four dif

The durability of concrete structures is affected by a number of factors such as environmental exposure, electrochemical reactions, mechanical loading, impact damage and others. Of all of these, corrosion of the reinforcement is probably the main cause for the deterioration of steel reinforced concrete (RC) structures.

In 1968 a relatively small gas exposition on the 18th floor of the Ronan Point tower building resulted in the partial collapse of the structure. This event highlighted that progress collapse may occur to structures under an accidental loading event. Other events, including the bombing of the Murrah federal building in 1993 in Oklahoma, have resulted in the common design requirement that a structure be capable of surviving the removal of a load bearing element. This approach, often referred to as the sudden column loss scenario, effectively ignores the cause of the damage and focuses on the str

Abstract:

Due to the relatively low tensile strength of concrete, cracks are inevitable in reinforced concrete structures. Therefore, studying the cracking behaviour of reinforced concrete elements and controlling the width of cracks are necessary objectives both in research and in design. The introduction of higher strength reinforcing steel has exacerbated the problem of crack control. Using higher strength steel, means less steel is required for a given structure to satisfy the strength requirements. The stiffness after cracking is reduced and wider crack widths will occur under normal service loads.

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) was first developed in Japan about two decades ago.

In recent years the interest in using SCC in structural members has increased manifold; therefore many researchers have started investiga
