Modeling Techniques

Finite element (FE) modeling techniques were developed to isolate the different contributions of corrosion damage to structural response of experimental reinforced concrete beams with shear-dominated behavior. Corrosion-damage parameters included concrete cover spalling due to the expansion of corrosion products; uniform stirrup cross-sectional loss from corrosion; localized stirrup cross-sectional loss due to pitting; debonding of corrosion-damaged stirrups from the concrete. FE analyses were performed including both individual and combined damages. The FE results matched experimental results well and quantitatively estimated capacity reduction of the experimental specimens.

Bending test of seven reinforced concrete beams are modeled in finite element program to validate the modeling strategies by comparing the structural response of the beams. Three beams in the set are pre-damaged and strengthened with fiber reinforced composites before the bending tests. Cracks are implemented into the model by inserting geometrical discontinuities to represent the pre-damaged beams. Parametric variables such as crack width, length and interval are chosen to simulate different pre-damage levels. Once the proposed modeling strategies are validated by real experimental tests then 196 finite element models are created to study the effects of pre-damage levels on the moment capacity of reinforced concrete beams repaired with CFRP. Results indicate that inclusion of pre-damage levels by means of cracks into the cross sections have significant effect on beams moment capacity.

The paper makes an analysis of the reinforced concrete beams with exterior FRP Shell in Finite Element, and compares it with the test results. The results show that, by means of this model, mechanical properties of reinforced concrete beams with exterior FRP shell can be predicted better. However, the larger the load, the larger deviation between calculated values and test values. Hence, if more accurate calculation is required, issues of contact interface between the reinforced concrete beams and the FRP shell should be taken into consideration.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets have recently become popular for use as repair or rehabilitation material for deteriorated carbon fiber reinforced concrete structures. Carbon fiber reinforced concrete beams were analyzed by finite element software ANASYS. Through the finite element analysis, the results showed that using bonded CFRP to strengthen R. C. beams can significantly increase their load carrying capacity. However, the beams with prestressed CFRP can withstand larger ultimate loads than beams with bonded CFRP. Using bonded CFRP to strengthen R. C. beams can obviously reduce the ultimate deflection.
