Abstract:
Calcium leaching degradation could be happened in reinforcement concrete member due to the contact with pure water in underground condition. Thus, it is needed to evaluate the resistance of calcium leaching for concrete mixed with mineral admixtures. So, in this paper, to evaluate the flexural behavior in RC member with mineral admixture under calcium leaching degradation, we investigated the effect of calcium leaching using the non-linear finite-element program. From the results, the load capacity and flexible rigidity of a degraded RC member decrease when the degradation level increases with leaching period. And, regardless of the type of mineral admixtures, finite-element-method analysis effectively showed the characteristics of calcium leaching damaged RC beam.

Abstract:
The research has been lead relating the use of carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets in retrofitting and strengthening of the reinforced concrete member. The present research was conducted by using the epoxy to reinforced concrete beams retrofitted and strengthened for flexural strength by using CFRP sheet. The selected cross-section of the beam having 2400 mm length with 150 mm width and 225 mm height and the beam tension reinforcement on the bottom was set on 2#4bar@1.5" with the 38.1 mm clear cover was set to the main flexural reinforcement. The studied beam was focused on flexural behaviour. The experimental study has shown that while the using of CFRP with epoxy will improve the rigidity and durability of the concrete beam. Their great deformability greatly improves the seismic properties of the beam structures. Under the reinforced RC beams showed a very large deflection by control beam before their failure. By using CFRP externally the rigidity of retrofitted and strengthened beams can be improved.

Abstract:
This paper presents a numerical strategy to model nonlinear damage behavior of RC members based on level of material. The first part of the paper presents a numerical model of the RC member based on the Timoshenko multifiber beam elements and non-linear damage constitutive laws for concrete, and the effective three dimensional fiber beam-column element model is developed for the nonlinear damage analysis of RC members with VUEL subroutine based on ABAQUS/Explicit platform. In the second part, a nonlinear damage analysis for RC members is established by analyzing the sections of fiber beam column elements, and the member damage index through statistical analysis of concrete fibers damage is defined in the extreme section of beam elements, which can describe the nonlinear damage behavior of RC members under any loadings. Accuracy of the model is identified preliminarily by comparing with the analysis results of solid elements, the results shows that it seems now possible to use this approach to investigate numerically the nonlinear damage behavior of RC members based on level of material.

Abstract:
On the basis of truss-and-arch model and the concrete softening strength criterion under ultimate state, a formula for shear capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beam with diagonal reinforcement was established and verified. Accordingly, six RC beams with diagonal reinforcement and corroded stirrup were tested along with control group, the tested results were analyzed by liner regression to modify the formula given. Hence a formula for inclined section shear capacity of stirrups corroded RC beam with diagonal reinforcement was proposed and compared with a preceding formula without a consideration of diagonal reinforcement in corroded RC beam .The results showed that the existence of diagonal reinforcing steel bars enhanced the behavior of vertical compression web member in truss institutions, therefore increasing the shear force shared by truss mechanism. The inclination of diagonal web member is a crucial parameter of truss model. As the stirrup corrosion aggravating, the shear bearing capacity of such RC beams does not decrease drastically.

Abstract:
A load carrying capacity of the reinforced concrete (RC) member is degraded by the corrosion of reinforcing steel bars due to chloride ion ingress. A lot of researches on the effect of corrosion in the longitudinal tensile reinforcing steel bars on the load carrying behavior have been available up to now. Accurate and quantitative estimation of capacity, however, is often difficult, because of the non-uniformity of corrosion in the member. Thus, a relationship between the spatial distribution of corrosion in the reinforcement including its scatter and the flexural loading capacity of RC member with such distribution of corrosion should be clarified so that the flexural capacity of corroded RC member can be estimated accurately. On the other hand, in case of the practical RC member under the corrosive environment, it should be considered that the flexural capacity often have to be derived from not a large number of inspection data on cross sectional areas of corroded reinforcements. So, in this study, a flexural loading test was performed by using RC beam specimens with the corroded tensile reinforcements provided the distribution of sectional areas. An estimation method of the flexural capacity of corroded RC beam was also shown, considering the distribution and its scatter in sectional areas of corroded reinforcements under the limited inspection data. Furthermore, the estimation of the longitudinal distribution of the cross sectional area of corroded reinforcement was performed by the spatial interpolation using Kriging method. Test results showed the yield and maximum load capacity in the corroded RC beam decreased as the corrosion rate increased. The failure mode of rupture in the reinforcement was shown in the large corrosion. The proposed estimation method was able to lead the safe evaluation of those experimental flexural capacities, determining the appropriate longitudinal characteristic value of the cross sectional area of corroded reinforcement. The flexural capacity can be also safely calculated using the characteristic value of diameters estimated by the corrosion crack width on the surface of the concrete, while the ratio of the experimental flexural capacity to the estimated one decreased as the corrosion loss increased. The distribution of bar diameters in the corroded reinforcement was able to be roughly estimated by using Kriging method. However, it was suggested that the measurement points close to the minimum bar diameter should be included to estimate the flexural capacity on the safe side.

Abstract:
Purpose Despite recognizing the significance of risk-based frameworks in fire safety engineering, the usual approach in structural fire design is largely member/component level, wherein effect of uncertainties influencing the fire resistance of structures are not explicitly considered. In this context, a probabilistic framework is presented to investigate the vulnerability of a reinforced concrete (RC) members and structure under fire loading scenario. Design/methodology/approach The RC structures exposed to fire are modeled in a finite element (FE) platform incorporating material and geometric nonlinearity, in which the transient thermo-mechanical analysis is carried out by suitably incorporating the temperature variation of thermal and mechanical properties of both concrete and steel rebar. The stochasticity in the system is considered in structural resistance, thermal and fire model parameters, and the subsequent fragility curves are developed considering threshold limit state of deflection. Findings The fire resistance of RC structure is reported to be significantly lower in comparison to the RC members, thereby illustrating the current prescriptive design approaches based on studies of structural member behavior to be crucial from a safety and reliability point of view. Practical implications The framework developed for the vulnerability assessment of RC structures under fire hazard through FE analysis can be effectively used to estimate the structural fire resistance for other similar structure to enhance safety and reliability of structures under such extreme threats. Originality/value The paper proposes a novel methodology for vulnerability assessment of three-dimensional RC structures under fire hazard through FE analysis and provides comparison of the structural fragility with fragility developed for structural members. Moreover, the research emphasizes to assume 3D behavior of the structure rather than the approximate 2D behavior.

Abstract:
Early detection of crack is critical for the maintenance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. In this study, a distributed optical fiber (DOF) sensing system with Rayleigh Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR) technique was deployed to a member of RC structure in a full-scale laboratory experiment, which was subjected to a monotonic lateral load. With the aid of a high space resolution (up to 1 mm) and measurement accuracy (±1 micro strain) interrogator (OSI-S by Semicon), continuous strain measurements inside of the RC member are elaborately implemented. The result of crack detection by the analysis of the measured tensile strain profiles is in excellent agreement with the visually observable cracks mapped during the test. This confirms the ability of the optical fiber inside of RC members to capture cracks on concrete surface. Moreover, the recognition of crack orientation and depth is accomplished by comparing strain measurements of optical fibers installed at multiple locations.

Abstract:
To study the anchorage performance of the inorganic post-installed RC flexural members in flexural test, this paper simulates the stress state of the inorganic post-installed RC flexural members in practical projects. Through cyclic loading test, the anchorage performance of the inorganic post-installed RC flexural members in the bending tensile conditions is checked. This paper studies the anchorage performance of the post-installed steel at the state of bending tension, such as: adhesion stress, bond-slip relationship, the load carrying capacity, deformation behavior of the flexural member, and compare with those of normal member. The result indicates that with anchorage length of 20D in flexure member, the load carrying capacity of the inorganic post-installed reinforced concrete is apparently worse to those of normal members under repeated loading test; In case that anchorage length is invariable, load carrying capacity can be significantly enhanced through improving the concrete strength level. The anchorage zone is easily damaged, and the steel is easily slipped, which result in the decrease of the load carrying capacity, so some measures must be taken if inorganic adhesive powder is used in practical projects.

Abstract:
The seismic design of bridges may require a large-diameter deep pile foundation such as a cast-in-steel-shell (CISS) pile where a reinforced concrete (RC) member is cast in a steel casing. In practice, the steel casing is not considered in the structural design and the pile is assumed to be an RC member. It is partially attributed to the difficulties in evaluation of composite action of a CISS pile. However, by considering benefits provided by composite action of the infilled concrete and the steel casing, both the cost and size of CISS pile can be reduced. In this study, the structural behavior of the RC pier and the CISS pile connection is simulated by using an advanced 3D finite element (FE) method, where the interface between the steel and concrete is also modeled. Firstly, the FE model is verified. Then, the parametric study is conducted. The analysis results suggest that the embedment length and the friction coefficient between the steel casing and the infilled concrete affect the structural behavior of the RC pier. Finally, the minimum embedment length with reference to the AASHTO design guideline is suggested considering the composite action of the CISS pile.

Abstract:
Full range analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) members covering the post-crack and post-peak regimes is important for obtaining the deformation response and failure mode of structural members. When a RC member is subject to an increasing external load, the critical sections would exhibit cracking and/or softening. Due to stress relief effect in the proximity of crack opening and plastic hinging, unloading may occur at the adjacent regions. The variable stress states of discrete sections would lead to sectional variation of stiffness, which could not be accounted for by conventional structural analysis methods. In this paper, a nonlinear multilevel analysis method for RC frames whereby the frame members are divided into sub-elements and sectional analysis is utilised to evaluate stiffness degradation and strength deterioration is developed. At sectional level, the secant stiffness is determined from moment-curvature relation, where the curvature is evaluated based on both transverse displacements and section rotations of the frame member. Unloading and reloading behaviour of concrete and reinforcing steel is simulated. In implementing the multilevel analysis, secant iteration is performed in each step of displacement increment to obtain the convergent solution satisfying equilibrium. Numerical example of RC frame is presented to demonstrate the applicability and accuracy of the proposed nonlinear multilevel analysis method.

Static load experimental results of two beams show that when prestress level is 20%, the cracking load and yield load of RC beams strengthened with prestressed CFL are 37.5% and 39.3% respectively. It is larger than that of RC beam strengthened with nonprestressed CFL.

Abstract:
This article describes the met and ummet needs of elderly residents of nursing care (NC) and residential care (RC) settings. Thirty-four residents of an RC home and 40 residents of two NC settings were assessed. Each resident and a respective staff member were interviewed using the Camberwell Assessment of Need for the Elderly (CANE) to indicate the resident's current met and unmet needs. The Clifton Assessment Procedure for the Elderly–Behaviour Rating Scale (CAPE-BRS) was completed by the staff member to indicate the participant's current level of dependency. In addition, the Mini-Mental State Examination was administered to participants and DSM-IV diagnosis was recorded. A high number of needs were found in both RC and NC settings, the level of dependency being proportional to level of need. There was a core set of needs in both samples related to difficulties with accommodation, food preparation, and self-care. Both NC and RC homes were meeting these needs; however, RC residents had a significantly greater level of unmet need for suitable daytime activities. The greatest predictor of type of setting was gender and there were significantly more females in RC. Controlling for gender, participants in NC had greater levels of dependency, particularly problems with apathy and social skills, as measured on the CAPE-BRS. It is possible that the greater level of social needs in NC residents had led to their placement in the more specialized NC settings. On the other hand, NC settings may be left caring for a group of residents that, because of their specific needs, have been difficult to place into RC. These findings have clinical implications for the future development of continuing care for the elderly. This study also highlighted that there is a substantial need for specialist services to address the unmet needs in these two types of continuing-care settings, such as interventions for social disturbances in NC and suitable daytime activities in RC. The CANE is a useful instrument to evaluate such needs in long-term-care settings.

Abstract:
The increasing application of high-performance materials in civil engineering led to the development of reinforced concrete (RC) structures with reduced cross sections and increased spans. In such structures serviceability limit state often becomes the governing condition of the design. Present study investigates the deformation behaviour of high-strength RC ties reinforced with high-grade bars. Experimental investigation was carried out measuring the postcracking stiffness of the specimens at high strain levels. It was found that, despite the reduction in stiffness, a considerable part of the average tensile stresses were carried by the concrete at the advanced loading stages, thus effectively stiffening the RC member.

Abstract:
After cracking, the stiffness of the member along its length varies, which makes the calculation of deformations complicated. In a cracked member, stiffness is largest in the section within the uncracked region while remains smallest in the cracked section. This is because in the cracked section, tensile concrete does not contribute to the load carrying mechanism. However, at intermediate sections between adjacent cracks, concrete around reinforcement retains some tensile force due to the bond-action that effectively stiffens member response and reduces deflections. This effect is known as tension-stiffening. This paper discusses the tension-stiffening effect in reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Numerical modelling uses the approach based on tension-stiffening attributed to tensile reinforcement. A material model of reinforced steel has been developed by inverse analysis using the moment-curvature diagrams of RC beams. Total stresses in tensile reinforcement consist of actual stresses corresponding to the average strain of the steel and additional stresses due to tension-stiffening. The carried out analysis employed experimental data on RC beams tested by the authors. The beams had a constant cross section but a different amount of tensile reinforcement. It has been shown that additional (tension-stiffening) stresses in the steel depend on the area of reinforcement. However, the resulting internal forces are less dependent on the amount of reinforcement.

Abstract:
As a typical structural member, the dynamic behavior of RC shear walls under seismic dynamic loads and/or strong winds is a critical topic. In recent years, with the development of test facilities and numeric techniques, efforts have been made to study the dynamic behavior of RC shear walls under dynamic loadings experimentally and numerically. But available test results on the dynamic behavior of RC shear walls are limited because of the limitation of the large-scale test facilities for dynamic tests. In this paper, test on four RC shear walls under rapid loads are conducted and a finite element model of RC shear walls through introducing the strain rate effect to the concrete damaged plasticity model in ABAQUS is established to simulate the dynamic behavior of the four specimens tested. Through comparing the simulation result with the test result, it is clear that the developed dynamic damage plastic constitutive model of concrete can be employed to simulate the nonlinear behavior of RC walls with acceptable accuracy under dynamic load.

Abstract:
Most of the laboratory tests investigated the flexural performance of un-preloaded or undamaged RC beams strengthened with CFRP composites. However, in engineering applications, the structural member must carry a certain load or damage. There is a lack of systematical investigations on the effects of preload or damage level on the flexural load-carrying capacity of CFRP-strengthened RC beams. This paper tested 22 RC beams to investigate the influence of preload level on flexural load-carrying capacity of CFRP-strengthened RC beams. The test variables are preload level, amount of CFRP sheets, tension rebar ratio, and concrete strength. The test results show that if the preload level is not more than 80% of the yielding strength of the original beam, the preload or damage level does not influence the flexural load-carrying capacity of CFRP-strengthened RC beams. However, the ultimate flexural load-carrying capacity is significantly poor than that of RC beam strengthened under a preload level not more than 80% of the yielding strength, if the RC beams are strengthened under a preload level more than 90% of the yielding strength.

Abstract:
The objective of this study is to compare conventional models used for estimating the load carrying capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) members, i.e., Current Design Codes (CDCs), with the method based on different assumptions, i.e., the Compressive Force Path (CFP) method and a non-conventional problem solver, i.e., an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). For this purpose, four different databases with the details of the critical parameters of (i) RC beams in simply supported conditions without transverse steel or stirrups (BWOS) and RC beams in simply supported conditions with transverse steel or stirrups (BWS), (ii) RC columns with cantilever-supported conditions (CWA), (iii) RC T-beams in simply supported conditions without transverse steel or stirrups (TBWOS) and RC T-beams in simply supported conditions with transverse steel or stirrups (TBWS) and (iv) RC flat slabs in simply supported conditions under a punching load (SCS) are developed based on the data from available experimental studies. These databases obtained from the published experimental studies helped us to estimate the member response at the ultimate limit-state (ULS). The results show that the predictions of the CFP and the ANNs often correlate closer to the experimental data as compared to the CDCs.

Abstract:
During the past decade, significant research has been carried out on the strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) slabs, beams, and columns using externally bonded carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. Steel reinforced polymer (SRP) sheets have recently been proposed as an alternative to CFRP to strengthen reinforced concrete beams. This paper reports experimental and numerical results of RC beams and beam-columns transversely wrapped with SRP and tested under blast load. A total of 10 scaled RC members were tested at a variety of blast wave intensities. Detailed observations are reported and validated against numerical models created in AUTODYN for the unstrengthened RC members. The SRP wraps were resilient in the near-field blast range and enhanced the ductility of the concrete likely through enhanced confinement. Member capacity could be increased by the wraps in failure modes dominated by concrete crushing. AUTODYN appears able to reasonably predict the behaviour of the RC members when loaded by blast.

Abstract:
The construction of most apartment underground parking lots utilizes reinforced concrete (RC) structures composed mainly of rebar work and formwork. RC structures lower construction efficiency and significantly delay the construction because they require a large number of temporary materials and wooden formwork. In this study, a precast concrete double wall (PCDW) system was developed to address the existing problems of RC structures and to improve the productivity of retaining wall construction. PCDW is a precast concrete (PC) wall in which two thin concrete panels are connected parallel to each other with truss-shaped reinforcement between them. PCDW can contribute to securing integrity, reducing the delay in construction, and improving quality. An overall process for the member design and construction stage of the PCDW system was proposed, and its improvement effects were examined regarding various aspects in comparison to the RC method.

Abstract:
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are an emerging field of research and have proven to have significant potential for use in structural engineering. In previous literature, many studies successfully utilized ANNs to analyze the structures under different loading conditions and verified the accuracy of the approach. Several studies investigated the use of ANNs to analyze the shear behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) members. However, few studies have focused on the potential use of an ANN for analysis of the torsional behavior of an RC member. Torsion is a complex problem and modeling the torsional fracture mechanism using the traditional analytical approach is problematic. Recent studies show that the nonlinear behavior of RC members under torsion can be modeled using ANNs. This paper presents a comprehensive analytical and parametric study of the torsional response of RC beams using ANNs. The ANN model was trained and validated against an experimental database of 159 RC beams reported in the literature. The results were compared with the predictions of design codes. The results show that ANNs can effectively model the torsional behavior of RC beams. The parametric study presented in this paper provides greater insight into the torsional resistance mechanism of RC beams and its characteristic parameters.
