Abstract
In the previous study, the structural performance of proposed precast concrete arch with reinforced joint was evaluated by structural experiment. In this paper, finite element analysis considering both material and contact nonlinearity was carried out on the specimens of the previous study. Based on the result of analysis and experiment, friction coefficient between concrete blocks was determined. To evaluate the strength of sectional member, elastic analysis was carried out on the arch using linear elastic analysis program. The section force was compared with the nominal strength of arch section. It was concluded that the maximum load of all the specimens exceed the nominal strength of arch section. Those results of the strength evaluation were similar to the results of structural experiments. Therefore, it is concluded that the elastic analysis and ultimate strength model can effectively evaluate the strength for the proposed precast concrete arch composed of concrete blocks and reinforced joint in design.
