This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masonry, as a conventional construction material, is widely used due to its durability, strength, hygrothermal performance, and aesthetics. However, the behaviour of masonry structures is not fully comprehended, especially in the face of uncertainty. This lack of understating on the behaviour of masonry structures is usually compensated by imposing overly conservative design provisions. Inherent uncertainties in the material and geometric properties of masonry structures result in large scatter in the experimentally or analytically predicted behaviour. Thus, understanding the influence of these uncertainties on the structural behaviour of masonry structures is of paramount importance to lay down the basis for reliable structural design. This thesis focuses on the uncertainty analysis of the out-of-plane behaviour of reinforced concrete masonry walls using mechanics-based finite element (FE) models and experimental testing data. Specifically, this thesis includes three main phases. In the first phase, the probabilistic behaviour of reinforced concrete masonry walls is investigated, employing mechanics-based macro FE models in conjunction with Monte Carlo simulations (MCS). The effect of the inherited uncertainties in the material and geometric properties on different response quantities (e.g., load capacity and deformation capacity) is also investigated through a variance-based global sensitivity analysis. Additionally, the model uncertainty in FE-predicted load capacity is quantified to characterize the model error, which is found to be influential compared to geometric and material uncertainties, though FE models are commonly used for numerical studies. The second phase focuses on assessing the reliability of reinforced concrete masonry walls loaded out-of-plane with the limit state functions formulated employing the developed macro FE models. In this phase, the importance of model uncertainty on the reliability assessment is revealed. The reliability assessment conducted considering different global and local failure criteria provides insights into their effect on the safety levels of walls. The reliability assessment is found to be sensitive to the adopted failure criteria. In addition, different factors are found to influence the reliability assessment of the walls designed according to the masonry design code; specifically, walls with different slenderness ratios and load eccentricities show inconsistent reliability levels. The model errors associated with the out-of-plane load capacity provided in masonry design codes in North America (i.e., CSA S304-14 and TMS 402-16) are investigated in the third phase. FE based and experimental data are used to quantify the model error associated with design code based models. In addition, the sensitivity of the model error to the variations associated with different design parameters is investigated. It is found that CSA S304-14 is overly conservative for highly slender walls with low load eccentricities, while TMS 402-16 gives more reasonable capacity predictions for such walls. However, TMS 402-16 is found to overestimate the capacities of highly slender walls with relatively high reinforcement ratios and load eccentricities. The code based models are employed in reliability assessment to investigate the influence of the accuracy of the behavioural model on the reliability of the masonry walls. It is found that using the code based models in the reliability assessment without considering their model error results in significantly biased reliability results. This highlights the need and potential room for design code model improvement.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A number of researchers have conducted experimental tests on unreinforced masonry walls (URM) strengthened with advanced composite materials. Consequently, the strengthening design guidelines are limited in their scope to URM. This research aimed to investigate the behavior of reinforced masonry walls strengthened with advanced composite and subjected to out-of-plane pseudo-static cyclic load. Experimental and analytical studies were conducted to evaluate the performance of different techniques such as near surface mounted (NSM) and externally bonded (EB) fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) with epoxy resin, in addition to NSM with cementitious adhesive and fiber reinforced cementitious material (FRCM). The experimental part included three phases. In the first phase, a series of 42 reinforced masonry walls were tested to study the effectiveness of advanced composites in enhancing out-of-plane flexural capacity. The effect of long-term environmental exposure on strengthening systems was investigated in the second phase of study by testing 10 reinforced masonry walls. The third phase focused on bond behavior between the advanced composite and the concrete masonry unit at different temperatures; 56 specimens were used for this purpose. The results indicated that the non-arching strengthened reinforced masonry wall's behavior was significantly dependent on the type of fiber and fiber reinforcement ratio. The specimens strengthened with glass under combined environmental cycles exhibited an insignificant change in terms of ultimate strength as compared to laboratory conditioned specimens. The theoretical part included the investigation of bond reduction factors, seismic performance, and the nonlinear analysis of strengthened reinforced masonry wall using moment-curvature analysis. As a result of this study, the proposed model for predicting debonding strain and the moment-curvature relation presented an excellent prediction compared to the experimental results"--Abstract, page iv.

Book Synopsis Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings for Seismic Performance by : Mark Aschheim
Download or read book Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings for Seismic Performance written by Mark Aschheim and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-04-05 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The costs of inadequate earthquake engineering are huge, especially for reinforced concrete buildings. This book presents the principles of earthquake-resistant structural engineering, and uses the latest tools and techniques to give practical design guidance to address single or multiple seismic performance levels. It presents an elegant, simple and theoretically coherent design framework. Required strength is determined on the basis of an estimated yield displacement and desired limits of system ductility and drift demands. A simple deterministic approach is presented along with its elaboration into a probabilistic treatment that allows for design to limit annual probabilities of failure. The design method allows the seismic force resisting system to be designed on the basis of elastic analysis results, while nonlinear analysis is used for performance verification. Detailing requirements of ACI 318 and Eurocode 8 are presented. Students will benefit from the coverage of seismology, structural dynamics, reinforced concrete, and capacity design approaches, which allows the book to be used as a foundation text in earthquake engineering.

Download or read book The Combined Finite-Discrete Element Method written by Antonio A. Munjiza and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2004-04-21 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combined finite discrete element method is a relatively new computational tool aimed at problems involving static and / or dynamic behaviour of systems involving a large number of solid deformable bodies. Such problems include fragmentation using explosives (e.g rock blasting), impacts, demolition (collapsing buildings), blast loads, digging and loading processes, and powder technology. The combined finite-discrete element method - a natural extension of both discrete and finite element methods - allows researchers to model problems involving the deformability of either one solid body, a large number of bodies, or a solid body which fragments (e.g. in rock blasting applications a more or less intact rock mass is transformed into a pile of solid rock fragments of different sizes, which interact with each other). The topic is gaining in importance, and is at the forefront of some of the current efforts in computational modeling of the failure of solids. * Accompanying source codes plus input and output files available on the Internet * Important applications such as mining engineering, rock blasting and petroleum engineering * Includes practical examples of applications areas Essential reading for postgraduates, researchers and software engineers working in mechanical engineering.
