Material non-linearity of Reinforced Concrete (RC) framed structures is studied by modelling concrete using the Concrete Damage Plasticity (CDP) theory. The stress-strain data of concrete in compression is modelled using the Hsu model. The structures are analyzed using a finite element approach by modelling them in ABAQUS / CAE. Single bay single storey RC frames, designed according to Indian Standard (IS):456:2000 and IS:13920:2016 are considered for assessing their maximum load carrying capacity and failure behavior under the influence of gravity loads and lateral loads. It is found that the CDP model is effective in predicting the failure behaviors of RC frame structures. Under the influence of the lateral load, the structure designed according to IS:13920 had a higher load carrying capacity when compared with the structure designed according to IS:456. Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) strip is used for strengthening the columns and beam column joints of the RC frame individually against lateral loads. 10mm and 20mm thick strips are adopted for the numerical simulation of RC column and beam-column joint. Results obtained from the study indicated that UHPFRC with two different thickness strips acts as a very good strengthening material in increasing the load carrying capacity of columns and beam-column joint by more than 5%. UHPFRC also improved the performance of the RC frames against lateral loads with an increase of more than 3.5% with the two different strips adopted. 20 mm thick strip is found to be an ideal size to enhance the load carrying capacity of the columns and beam-column joints. Among the strengthening locations adopted in the study, column strengthening is found to be more efficient when compared with the beam column joint strengthening.

Present paper focuses on the modeling of size effect on the compressive strength of normal concrete with the application of Discrete Element Method (DEM). Test specimens with different size and shape were cast and uniaxial compressive strength test was performed on each sample. Five different concrete mixes were used, all belonging to a different normal strength concrete class (C20/25, C30/37, C35/45, C45/55, and C50/60). The numerical simulations were carried out by using the PFC 5 software, which applies rigid spheres and contacts between them to model the material. DEM modeling of size effect could be advantageous because the development of micro-cracks in the material can be observed and the failure mode can be visualized. The series of experiments were repeated with the model after calibration. The relationship of the parallel bond strength of the contacts and the laboratory compressive strength test was analyzed by aiming to determine a relation between the compressive strength and the bond strength of different sized models. An equation was derived based on Bazant's size effect law to estimate the parallel bond strength of differently sized specimens. The parameters of the equation were optimized based on measurement data using nonlinear least-squares method with SSE (sum of squared errors) objective function. The laboratory test results showed a good agreement with the literature data (compressive strength is decreasing with the increase of the size of the specimen regardless of the shape). The derived estimation models showed strong correlation with the measurement data. The results indicated that the size effect is stronger on concretes with lower strength class due to the higher level of inhomogeneity of the material. It was observed that size effect is more significant on cube specimens than on cylinder samples, which can be caused by the side ratios of the specimens and the size of the purely compressed zone. A limit value for the minimum size of DE model for cubes and cylinder was determined, above which the size effect on compressive strength can be neglected within the investigated size range. The relationship of model size (particle number) and computational time was analyzed and a method to decrease the computational time (number of iterations) of material genesis is proposed.

콘크리트 휨 부재의 내하능력을 개선하는 방법들 중에서, 최근에 와서, 기존의 철근콘크리트 부재에서 사용하는 철근을 대신하여 섬유보강폴리머(FRP) 복합재료 층으로 보강한 콘크리트 부재에 관한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 휨을 받는 원형단면 FRP 콘크리트 부재의 거동을 예측하기 위한 해석모델에 중점을 두고 있다. FRP층과 내부에 충진된 콘크리트로 이루어진 부재의 응력 및 변형을 예측하기 위하여 층분할 단면해석 모델이 제시되었다. 콘크리트의 압축거동이 횡방향 팽창에 의존한다는 가정과 다축 압축 응력상태의 구성관계에 기초하여 FRP 층으로 둘러 쌓인 콘크리트의 응력변형률 관계를 정식화하였다. 고전적 적층이론에서, FRP 층의 거동은 2차원 적층의 면내거동의 응력-변형률 관계에 기초한 등 가직교재료특성에 기초하여 정식화하였다. 소개된 해석모델의 검증을 위하여 원형단면 FRP 콘크리트 휨 부재의 4점 실험과 비교한 결과, 본 모델은 부재의 모멘트-곡률 관계, 단면에서의 축방향 변형률뿐만 아니라 횡방향 변형률, 그리고 FRP 층으로 인한 콘크리트의 구속효과의 증진에 관한 거동 특성들을 잘 예측해 주었다.

This article gives analytical dependences for creep of concrete at heating, taking into account conditions of its drying. These dependences are based on the standard nonlinear theory of creep of concrete at a normal temperature and temperature-time analogy. For the description of creep at various stresses and temperatures the principle of superposition are used. All stages of model's creation are confirmed by the existing experimental data. Calculation examples are given.

The aim of this study is to present a practical and simple method for decision of ultimate failure mode of high-strength concrete beam members, based on interaction between shear strength and displacement ductility. Four tests were conducted on full-scale beam specimens having concrete compressive strength of 410kgf/$cm^{2}$. Prediction of failure mode from presented method and comparison with test results are also presented

The shear behavior of reinforced concrete beams subjected to uniform loading was investigated by testing 1/3 small-scale model R/C beams. The emphasis was placed in finding a fundamental difference in behavior between in uniformly loaded beams and in point loaded beams. The major variable was the span-to-depth ratio, varying from 4 to 12. The concrete strength and steel ratio were fixed.

In this study, a new modeling framework for predicting temperature and structural behaviors of structures under fire condition is proposed. The proposed modeling framework including fire simulation, heat transfer and structural analysis is applied to simulate fire tests performed on the steel-concrete composite structures in Cardington, UK, for model validations. Good predictions are shown for spatial-temporal temperatures and deflections of fire-damaged steel-concrete structures.
