This paper presents methodologies for remaining life prediction of plain concrete structural components considering tension softening effect. Non-linear fracture mechanics principles (NLFM) have been used for crack growth analysis and remaining life prediction. Various tension softening models such as linear, bi-linear, tri-linear, exponential and power curve have been presented with appropriate expressions. A methodology to account for tension softening effects in the computation of SIF and remaining life prediction of concrete structural components has been presented. The tension softening effects has been represented by using any one of the models mentioned above. Numerical studies have been conducted on three point bending concrete structural component under constant amplitude loading. Remaining life has been predicted for different loading cases and for various tension softening models. The predicted values have been compared with the corresponding experimental observations. It is observed that the predicted life using bi-linear model and power curve model is in close agreement with the experimental values. Parametric studies on remaining life prediction have also been conducted by using modified bilinear model. A suitable value for constant of modified bilinear model is suggested based on parametric studies.

This paper presents analytical methodologies for remaining life prediction of plain concrete structural components considering tension softening and size effects. Non-linear fracture mechanics principles (NLFM) have been used for crack growth analysis and remaining life prediction. Various tension softening models such as linear, bi-linear, tri-linear, exponential and power curve have been presented with appropriate expressions. Size effect has been accounted for by modifying the Paris law, leading to a size adjusted Paris law, which gives crack length increment per cycle as a power function of the amplitude of a size adjusted stress intensity factor (SIF). Details of tension softening effects and size effect in the computation of SIF and remaining life prediction have been presented. Numerical studies have been conducted on three point bending concrete beams under constant amplitude loading. The predicted remaining life values with the combination of tension softening & size effects are in close agreement with the corresponding experimental values available in the literature for all the tension softening models.

In this paper, the embedded crack approach that crack is modeled by discontinuous line inside finite element is applied for localized progressive fracture analyses. The algorithm for progressive fracture analyses of concrete structure are enhanced by introducing nonlinear softening curve and unloading algorithm of tension-softening curve which can simulate localized fracture of concrete. The failure analysis results ar compared with existing test results for varification.

콘크리트의 국소화현상은 콘크리트의 연화거동에 수반되어 변형이 국부적으로 집중되는 현상으로 콘크리트 구조물의 극한하중을 지배한다. 본 연구에서는 연화거동에 따른 변형률국소화현상을 일으키는 콘크리트를 국소영역과 비국소영역으로 나누어 모형화하였으며 불균질재료의 평균화개념을 이용하여 콘크리트의 국소화거동을 정식화하였다. 본 연구에서는 정식화된 모형을 사용하여 일축압축 및 일축인장하중을 받는 콘크리트의변형의 국소화 현상을 재현하였으며, 제안된 모형이 일축하중하의 콘크리트의 국소화거동을 잘 재현할 수 있음을 실제 실험결과와의 비교를 통하여 검증하였다. 해석결과로부터 일축압축하중하의 콘크리트의 국소영역의 크기는 콘크리트의 최대골재치수의 3배가 적당하고, 시편의 길이에 따른 콘크리트의 크기효과도 재현할 수 있음을 보였다. 또한 제안된 모형식에 직접인장시험에서 구해진 인장연화곡선의 사용이 일축인장하의 콘크리트의 국소화현상을 잘 표현하는데 적합함을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, a study on fracture characteristics of chemically prestressed mortar with addition of expansive additives was carried out. Uni-axial tension tests with reinforced mortar specimen restrained by embedded reinforcing bar and three point bending tests with notched steel fiber reinforced beams were carried out to verify the characteristics of the cracking behavior, the tension stiffening effect due to bond between rebar and mortar, and fracture characteristic. Tension stiffening curve for the chemically prestressed mortar was obtained from uni-axial tension test. And increased fracture energy due to the chemical prestress was also obtained from bending test and tension softening curve for chemically prestressed mortar was also obtained.

This paper presents tension stiffening effect of Reinforced concrete members obtained from experimental results on direct tension and bending. From the direct tension test program, crack patterns were investigated with tension softening behaviors of concrete. Tension stiffening effects and losses of strain energy were, also, analyzed from the load-deflection curve with the main experimental variables such as concrete strength, yielding stress and reinforcement ratio of rebar. Tension stiffening effect of RC members increase linearly until the first crack initiate, decrease inversely with number of cracks, and then decrease rapidly when splitting cracks are happened. The tension stiffening effect is shown to be more important at the member of lower reinforcement than that of higher. Therefore, it necessitates to consider the tension stiffening effects at a nonlinear analysis. From the above analysis, a tension stiffening model of concrete is proposed and verified by applying it to bending members. From the numerical analysis by finite element approach, it is shown that the proposed model evaluates a little higher in analyzing at nonlinear region of high strength concrete, but, perform satisfactorily in general.

본 연구에서는 섬유혼입률이 초고강도 강섬유보강 콘크리트의 인장연화거동 특성에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 노치 낸 보에 대한 3점 재하 휨실험을 통해 초고강도 강섬유보강 콘크리트의 휨인장 거동을 구하고, Uchida 등이 제안한 역해석법을 사용하여 휨 실험 결과로부터 인장연화곡선을 도출하였다. 노치 낸 보의 휨 실험 결과에서 초기강성은 섬유혼입률에 관계없이 일정한 값을 나타내고, 강섬유의 혼입률이 증가할수록 초고강도 강섬유보강 콘크리트의 휨인장강도는 증가하며 연화거동은 일정 균열폭에서 점근적으로 수렴하는 경향을 나타내었다. 역해석을 통해 구한 인장연화곡선으로부터 섬유혼입률과 임계균열폭, $\omega_0$의 함수로 인장연화모델을 제안하였으며, 인장연화모델은 균열이 진행됨에 따라 일정한 인장응력 값을 가지는 소성구간과 지수함수로 주어지는 연화구간으로 나누어 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 인장연화모델을 적용하여 점성균열모델을 이용한 유한요소해석을 수행한 결과, 해석 결과와 실험 결과와 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다.

Fracture mechanics does work for concrete, provided that one uses a proper, nonlinear form of fracture mechanics in which a finite nonlinear zone at fracture front is being considered. The fracture process zone is a region ahead of a traction-free crack, and the development of model of fracture process zone is most important to describe fracture phenomena in concrete. This paper is about fracture behavior of concrete cylinder under lateral pressure. Concrete cylinders were made of high strength normal connote, steel fiber reinforced concrete and steel fiber reinforced polymer-impregnated concrete and concrete and the fracture behavior such as cracking propagation and ultimate load are observed. The fracture process zone is modelled by a Dugdale-Barenblatt type model with linear tension-softening curve and are implemented to the boundary element technique for the fracture analyses of the cylinders. The experimental results are compared with analysis results and tension-softening curves for the steel fiber reinforced concrete and steel fiber reinforced polymer-impregnated concrete are obtained by back analyses.

The most important material parameters are fracture energy and the stress-crack opening displacement($\sigma$-w) curve to determine the behavior of concrete. Especially, the relationship between the $\sigma$-w curve is strongly important to determine the load-displacement curve of concrete that has a major influence on the fracture behavior of a concrete. In this paper, notched plain concrete beams with different strength level were tested under three-point bending and fracture energy, the load-deflection curve, and the load-crack mouth opening displacement(CMOD) curve were obtained from the experimental data. Also, the fictitious crack model(FCM) was applied to determine the load-deflection curve of notched plain concrete beams using various types of $\sigma$-w curve model proposed by Petersson and we compared experimental results with numerical ones carried out by Finite Element Method(FEM).
