Abstract

Tension tests of half-thickness concrete containment wall elements and material tests were conducted to derive a crack pattern and constitutive law of concrete. Main test variables are reinforcement ratio and the applied load ratio in two direction, and its effect on the behavior of reinforced concrete panel subjected to biaxial tension is investigated. Based on the test results, analytical expression is derived for the stress-strain relationship of concrete in tension. Ultimate analyses of reinforced concrete panels are carried out by a general purpose structural analysis computer program(ABAQUS), and its results are compared with the test results. The present analysis focuses on the effects of pre-analysis prior to test of specimens. These ultimate tensile analyses as pre-analysis are essential and important to design an effectual scheme of test.
