This book was released on 2014-12-27 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sheds light on the shear behavior of Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) elements, presenting a thorough analysis of the most important studies in the field and highlighting their shortcomings and issues that have been neglected to date. Instead of proposing a new formula, which would add to an already long list, it instead focuses on existing design codes. Based on a comparison of experimental tests, it provides a thorough analysis of these codes, describing both their reliability and weaknesses. Among other issues, the book addresses the influence of flange size on shear, and the possible inclusion of the flange factor in design formulas. Moreover, it reports in detail on tests performed on beams made of concrete of different compressive strengths, and on fiber reinforcements to study the influence on shear, including size effects. Lastly, the book presents a thorough analysis of FRC hollow core slabs. In fact, although this is an area of great interest in the current research landscape, it remains largely unexplored due to the difficulties encountered in attempting to fit transverse reinforcement in these elements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses design aspects of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) members, including the behavior of the SFRC and its modeling. It also examines the effect of various parameters governing the response of SFRC members in detail. Unlike other publications available in the form of guidelines, which mainly describe design methods based on experimental results, it describes the basic concepts and principles of designing structural members using SFRC as a structural material, predominantly subjected to flexure and shear. Although applications to special structures, such as bridges, retaining walls, tanks and silos are not specifically covered, the fundamental design concepts remain the same and can easily be extended to these elements. It introduces the principles and related theories for predicting the role of steel fibers in reinforcing concrete members concisely and logically, and presents various material models to predict the response of SFRC members in detail. These are then gradually extended to develop an analytical flexural model for the analysis and design of SFRC members. The lack of such a discussion is a major hindrance to the adoption of SFRC as a structural material in routine design practice. This book helps users appraise the role of fiber as reinforcement in concrete members used alone and/or along with conventional rebars. Applications to singly and doubly reinforced beams and slabs are illustrated with examples, using both SFRC and conventional reinforced concrete as a structural material. The influence of the addition of steel fibers on various mechanical properties of the SFRC members is discussed in detail, which is invaluable in helping designers and engineers create optimum designs. Lastly, it describes the generally accepted methods for specifying the steel fibers at the site along with the SFRC mixing methods, storage and transport and explains in detail methods to validate the adopted design. This book is useful to practicing engineers, researchers, and students.

Book Synopsis Shear Behavior of Steel Fiber Reinforced Prestressed Concrete Beams Without Shear Reinforcement by : Jae-Sung Cho
Download or read book Shear Behavior of Steel Fiber Reinforced Prestressed Concrete Beams Without Shear Reinforcement written by Jae-Sung Cho and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ACI 318-08 building code allows to use the steel fiber reinforcement as alternative shear reinforcement with satisfying certain criteria when a beam is required minimum shear reinforcement. However, this provision applies to a nonprestressed and prestressed concrete beam such that it could be conservative since the shear strength of prestressed concrete beam is generally enhanced due to the prestressing force. This is due partially to the fact that the provision has been accepted based on researches, mostly conducted in nonprestressed concrete beam. Most of experiments conducted for prestressed concrete beam in small scale tests, with a height of specimens were less than 10 in. A larger scale of experiment is required due to concerns of size effect. In addition, in order to evaluate the qualification of a Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) mixture used for structural applications, such as increasing shear resistance, a material evaluation method is essential. Currently ASTM or ACI Committee 544 (Fiber-Reinforced Concrete) does not recommend any standardized test method for evaluating shear performance of a particular SFRC material. This study addresses the research gaps described above by testing large-scale Steel Fiber Reinforced Prestressed Concrete (SFRPC) beams as well as developing a simple laboratory test techniques. A total 13 simply-supported beams for large-scale test with a shear span to effective depth ratio of 3.0 and a height of 24 in. were subjected to monotonically-increased, concentrated load. The test parameters were mainly included compressive strength, volume fraction of steel fibers, compressive reinforcement ratio. The results of large-scale test showed that the use of hooked steel fibers in a volume fraction greater than or equal to 0.50% volume fraction of steel fibers (67 lb per cubic yard), which is less than requirement by ACI 318-08 (0.75%, 100 lb per cubic yard), led to substantial enhancement of shear behaviors including the first cracking, the ultimate, and ductility. High compressive strength of SFRC, greater than 9000 psi, which is higher than ACI 318-08 requirement (less than 6000 psi) could be used as well. However, there was no significant effect from compressive reinforcement ratio. A simply shear test method for SFRC was proposed in this study. The test apparatus is almost exactly the same as the conventional ASTM bending test with only minor modification, in addition, it could simulate a pure shear stress by adjusting loading and support positions. By introducing a proper reinforcement for bending stress, it was possible to evaluate shear performance of SFRC with clear and uncomplicated shear stress field in the critical section.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steel fibers have widely been used in the past to reinforce brittle materials in many nonstructural applications such as pavement, tunneling lining, etc. On the basis of numerous previous studies, ACI 318-11 [2011] has recently accepted steel fiber as a minimum shear reinforcement replacement with minimum 0.75% volume fraction for both reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete members. However, not much previous research has talked about the flexural behavior of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC). As per ACI 318-11 for tension-controlled sections, the net tensile strains in the outermost layer of steel, et, should be greater than or equal to 0.005 and for the moment redistribution in continuous beam the section should sufficiently ductile (et [greater or equal to] 0.0075). For this, the sections should have small longitudinal reinforcement ratio which ultimately leads to an inefficient beam section with a large cross-sectional area. In contrast, the use of smaller concrete cross sections can lead to a diminished ductile flexural behavior as well as premature shear failure. In this context, the use of steel fiber reinforced concrete could be a potential solution since fiber can increase both the concrete shear strength and it's usable compressive strains. However limited previous researches on the flexural behavior on SFRC beams are available and most of them are of small scales and concentrated only basically for shear behavior. To the best of our knowledge, the large-scale prestressed fiber reinforced concrete beam specimens have yet to be studied for flexure behavior. In this project, six large scale prestressed concrete beams with or without steel fiber along with some material test were tested. Our experimental investigations indicated that even with inclusion of small percentage volume of fraction of steel fiber (Vf =0.75%) could not only increase the ductility and shear strength of the SFRPC beam but also change the failure pattern by increasing usable strain in concrete and steel. A modification on the limit for c/dt ratio and [phi] factor for design of flexural member given in current ACI could be proposed which could imply the smaller sections with higher longitudinal reinforcement ratio and less shear reinforcement. could be used. Any standard material test results have to ensure that FRC has, at least, been batched properly and it can give indications of probable performance when used in structures. In the current material testing method suggested by ACI, the third point bending test (ASTM C1609) has an inherent problem in that the coefficients of variations for post cracking strength and residual strength are generally very high on the order of 20%. The direct tensile test can be a more appropriate material. However, it is currently not recommended as standard method in the U.S. Because of it's difficultly in gripping arrangement which will lead to cracking of the specimen at the grips. Both the test methods also require close loop servo controlled machine. The round panel test method (ASTM C1550) requires large size specimen and heavy steel supports prevents performing test in small laboratories. Split cylinder test (ASTM C496), do not necessarily reflect the true properties of the material as the specimen is forced to fail in the line of the application of the load and the test method is also not recommended by ACI for SFRC. In order to improve the material assessment procedure, the double Punch Test (DPT) introduced by Chen in 1970 [Chen, 1970] was extensively evaluated to develop a simple, quick and reliable testing method for SFRC. Various tests were carried out in order to evaluate peak and residual strength, stiffness, strain hardening and softening, toughness and other post crack properties. Our test results indicated that the DPT method could be immersed as reliable, easier and economical material test method. It could be used to distinguish the peak strength, residual strength, toughness stiffness and crack resistance, of different SFRC mixtures with less scatter results compared to other material test methods.

This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concrete is still the most widely used construction material since it has the lowest ratio between cost and strength as compared to other available materials. However, it has two undesirable properties, namely: low tensile strength and large brittleness that cause the collapse to occur shortly after the formation of the first crack. To improve these two negative properties and to achieve a partial substitute of conventional reinforcement, an addition of short discontinuous randomly oriented steel fibres can be practiced among others. In spite of positive properties, fibrous concrete did not find such acknowledgment and application as usual concrete. There do not still exist consistent dimensioning rules due to the lack sufficient large-scale static and dynamic experiments taking into account the effect of the fibre orientation. The intention of the book is twofold: first to summarize the most important mechanical and physical properties of steel-fibre-added concrete and reinforced concrete on the basis of numerous experiments described in the scientific literature, and second to describe a quasi-static fracture process at meso-scale both in plain concrete and fibrous concrete using a novel discrete lattice model. In 2D and 3D simulations of fibrous concrete specimens under uniaxial tension, the effect of the fibre volume, fibre distribution, fibre orientation, fibre length, fibrous bond strength and specimen size on both the stress-strain curve and fracture process was carefully analyzed.

This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: fib Bulletin 57 is a collection of contributions from a workshop on "Recent developments on shear and punching shear in RC and FRC elements", held in Salò, Italy, in October 2010. Shear is one of a few areas of research into fundamentals of the behaviour of concrete structures where contention remains amongst researchers. There is a continuing debate between researchers from a structures perspective and those from a materials or fracture mechanics perspective about the mechanisms that enable the force flow through a concrete member and across cracks. In 2009, a Working Group was formed within fib Task Group 4.2 "Ultimate Limit State Models" to harmonise different ideas about design procedures for shear and punching. An important outcome of this work was the ensuing discussions between experts and practitioners regarding the shear and punching provisions of the draft fib Model Code, which led to the organization of the Salò workshop. Invited experts in the field of shear and FRC gave 18 lectures at the workshop that was attended by 72 participants from 12 countries in 3 different continents. The contributions from this conference as compiled in this bulletin are believed to represent the best of the current state of knowledge. They certainly are of general interest to fib members and especially helpful in the finalization of the 2010 fibModel Code. It is hoped that this publication will stimulate further research in the field, to refine and harmonize the available analytical models and tools for shear and punching design.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When subjected to a combination of moment and shear force, a reinforced concrete (RC) beam with either little or no transverse reinforcement can fail in shear before reaching its full flexural strength. This type of failure is sudden in nature and usually disastrous because it does not give sufficient warning prior to collapse. To prevent this type of shear failure, reinforced concrete beams are traditionally reinforced with stirrups. However, the use of stirrups is not always cost effective since it increases labor costs, and can make casting concrete difficult in situations where closely-spaced stirrups are required. The use of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) could be considered as a potential alternative to the use of traditional shear reinforcement. Concrete is very weak and brittle in tension, SFRC transforms this behaviour and improves the diagonal tension capacity of concrete and thus can result in significant enhancements in shear capacity. However, one of the drawbacks associated with SFRC is that the addition of fibers to a regular concrete mix can cause problems in workability. The use of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is an innovative solution to this problem and can result in improved workability when fibers are added to the mix. The thesis presents the experimental results from tests on twelve slender self-consolidating fiber reinforced concrete (SCFRC) beams tested under four-point loading. The results demonstrate the combined use of SCC and steel fibers can improve the shear resistance of reinforced concrete beams, enhance crack control and can promote flexural ductility. Despite extensive research, there is a lack of accurate and reliable design guidelines for the use of SFRC in beams. This study presents a rational model which can accurately predict the shear resistance of steel fiber reinforced concrete beams. The thesis also proposes a safe and reliable equation which can be used for the shear design of SFRC beams.
