Uniaxial Compressive Constitutive Relationship of Concrete Confined by Special-Shaped Steel Tube Coupled with Multiple Cavities.

ABSTRACT: A method is presented to predict the complete stress-strain curves of concrete subjected to triaxial stresses, which were caused by axial load and lateral force. The stress can be induced due to the confinement action inside a special-shaped steel tube having multiple cavities. The existing reinforced confined concrete formulas have been improved to determine the confinement action. The influence of cross-sectional shape, of cavity construction, of stiffening ribs and of reinforcement in cavities has been considered in the model. The parameters of the model are determined on the basis of experimental results of an axial compression test for two different kinds of special-shaped concrete filled steel tube (CFT) columns with multiple cavities. The complete load-strain curves of the special-shaped CFT columns are estimated. The predicted concrete strength and the post-peak behavior are found to show good agreement within the accepted limits, compared with the experimental results. In addition, the parameters of proposed model are taken from two kinds of totally different CFT columns, so that it can be concluded that this model is also applicable to concrete confined by other special-shaped steel tubes.

Uniaxial Compressive Behavior of Concrete Columns Confined with Superelastic Shape Memory Alloy Wires.

Project description:Superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) exhibits the ability to undergo large deformations before reverting back to its undeformed shape following the removal of the load. This unique property underlies its great potential in the seismic design and retrofitting of structure members. In this paper, superelastic SMA wires were utilized to confine concrete cylinders to enhance their axial compressive behavior. The axial carrying and deformation capacities of SMA-confined concrete cylinders are assessed by uniaxial compression testing on a total of eight SMA-confined concrete columns and one unconfined column. The influence of the amount of SMA and the prestrain level of SMA wires, as well as the reinforcing mode, on the axial carrying and deformation capacity of confined concrete columns were considered. The analysis focuses on the axial carrying capacity and deformation performance of concrete columns reinforced with superelastic SMA under different loading conditions. Based on the experimental data and analysis results, it is found that superelastic SMA wires can increase the axial loading capacity and enhance deformation performance of concrete columns. Under the same loading condition, the ultimate bearing capacity of SMA-confined concrete columns increases as the increasing of the amount of SMA wire. The results of this study verify the effectiveness of superelastic SMA in enhancing the loading capacity and deformation behavior of concrete cylinders.

Compressive Strength of Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Employing Supervised Machine Learning Techniques.

Project description:Recently, research has centered on developing new approaches, such as supervised machine learning techniques, that can compute the mechanical characteristics of materials without investing much effort, time, or money in experimentation. To predict the 28-day compressive strength of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC), machine learning techniques, i.e., individual and ensemble models, were considered. For this study, two ensemble approaches (SVR AdaBoost and SVR bagging) and one individual technique (support vector regression (SVR)) were used. Coefficient of determination (R2), statistical assessment, and k-fold cross validation were carried out to scrutinize the efficiency of each approach used. In addition, a sensitivity technique was used to assess the influence of parameters on the prediction results. It was discovered that all of the approaches used performed better in terms of forecasting the outcomes. The SVR AdaBoost method was the most precise, with R2 = 0.96, as opposed to SVR bagging and support vector regression, which had R2 values of 0.87 and 0.81, respectively. Furthermore, based on the lowered error values (MAE = 4.4 MPa, RMSE = 8 MPa), statistical and k-fold cross validation tests verified the optimum performance of SVR AdaBoost. The forecast performance of the SVR bagging models, on the other hand, was equally satisfactory. In order to predict the mechanical characteristics of other construction materials, these ensemble machine learning approaches can be applied.

Effect of Steel Plates on Estimation of the Compressive Strength of Concrete via Ultrasonic Testing.

Project description:The presence of embedded steel affects the estimates obtained for the compressive strength of concrete during ultrasonic testing, as it increases the ultrasonic wave velocity. Thus, if the presence of steel in concrete is inevitable, then a correction factor is required for an accurate estimation of the concrete strength. While previous studies focused on the effect of steel reinforcing bars on the speed of ultrasonic waves in concrete, this work expands on the significance of embedded steel from steel bars to include steel plates. The wave velocity was measured for varying dimensions of embedded steel plates from 15 mm to 150 mm using 54-kHz ultrasonic testing equipment. Through experiments, the effect of steel plates on the ultrasonic testing of concrete was quantified to derive proper correction factors. It was found that the thickness, depth, and height of the steel plates significantly affected the test results. These findings can be applied to ultrasonic testing to estimate the compressive strength of concrete consisting of a significant volume of steel, such as in steel-reinforced concrete structures.

Compressive Behavior of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete with End-Hooked Steel Fibers.

Project description:In this paper, the compressive behavior of fiber-reinforced concrete with end-hooked steel fibers has been investigated through a uniaxial compression test in which the variables were concrete compressive strength, fiber volumetric ratio, and fiber aspect ratio (length to diameter). In order to minimize the effect of specimen size on fiber distribution, 48 cylinder specimens 150 mm in diameter and 300 mm in height were prepared and then subjected to uniaxial compression. From the test results, it was shown that steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) specimens exhibited ductile behavior after reaching their compressive strength. It was also shown that the strain at the compressive strength generally increased along with an increase in the fiber volumetric ratio and fiber aspect ratio, while the elastic modulus decreased. With consideration for the effect of steel fibers, a model for the stress-strain relationship of SFRC under compression is proposed here. Simple formulae to predict the strain at the compressive strength and the elastic modulus of SFRC were developed as well. The proposed model and formulae will be useful for realistic predictions of the structural behavior of SFRC members or structures.

Axial Compressive Behavior of Geopolymer Recycled Lump Concrete.

Project description:To reduce the environmental pollution from cement production and the damage to natural resources from aggregate mining in the concrete industry, a relatively new concrete, termed geopolymer recycled lump concrete (GRLC), which uses geopolymer as the binding material to replace traditional cement and uses large demolished concrete lumps (DCLs) to partly replace concrete, is prepared in this study. Cubic and cylindrical GRLC specimens containing fresh geopolymer concrete and DCLs were tested under axial compression with various parameters, including the compressive strength levels of both fresh geopolymer concrete and DCLs, and the replacement ratio of DCLs. The compressive behavior of the GRLC specimens was compared with traditional cement recycled lump concrete (CRLC) specimens, with test results showing that GRLC specimens possess higher compressive strength than CRLC specimens under the same experimental conditions, which is due to the strengthening effect that fresh geopolymer concrete has on the DCLs. From the scanning electron microscope pattern of the GRLC specimen, it is found that the geopolymer bonds well with the old mortar attached to DCLs. As the replacement ratio increases from 0% to 33%, the elastic modulus of GRLC increases by 5%-11% but Poisson's ratio remains almost constant (in the 0.16-0.17 range). Based on the measured strength and the predicted results, which coincide with one another well, a modified method for predicting the compressive strength of GRLC cubic and cylindrical specimens is proposed.

Bond-Slip Behavior between Stainless Steel Rebars and Concrete.

Project description:Maintenance of reinforced concrete structures is a prevailing topic, especially with regard to lifeline structures and bridges, many of which are now designed with a service life beyond 100 years. Reinforcement made of ordinary (carbon) steel may corrode in aggressive environments. Stainless steel, being much more resistant to corrosion, is a valid solution to facilitate the protection of the works, increasing the service life and reducing the need for repair and maintenance. Despite the potential for stainless steel to reduce maintenance costs, studies investigating the influence of stainless steel on the behavior of reinforced concrete structures are limited. This study investigated the bond behavior of stainless steel rebars by means of experimental tests on reinforced concrete specimens with different concrete cover thicknesses, concrete strengths, and bar diameters. In each case, identical specimens with carbon steel reinforcement were tested for comparison. The failure modes of the specimens were examined, and a bond stress-slip relationship for stainless steel bars was established. This research shows that the bond behavior of stainless steel rebars is comparable to that of carbon steel bars.

Torsional Behaviour of Steel Fibre Reinforced Alkali Activated Concrete.

Project description:Nine alkali-activated concrete beams were produced and tested under pure torsional load to failure. The alkali-activated concrete beams were produced with following variables: (i) fibres only, (ii) conventionally reinforced or (iii) a hybrid of both fibres and conventional steel reinforcement. The fibres only beams were found to have approximately 20% higher cracking torque than conventionally reinforced beams. However, fibres only beams were observed to have lower post crack ductility and inconsistent post crack behaviour, in comparison to conventionally reinforced alkali-activated concrete (AAC) beams. On the other hand, the hybrid reinforcements in AAC beams were found to demonstrate more ductile post crack behaviour consistently of the beams tested. Hybrid reinforcement was also shown to have 20% and 25% improvement in cracking and ultimate torque compared to conventionally reinforced, which suggests that it is suitable for industrial applications to improve structure capacity. The ultimate torque results of the beams were compared to an analytical model that considered the contribution of fibres. It was found that the ultimate torque of the hybrid reinforced beam has good correlation with the model but overestimated conventionally reinforced beams.

Examining the Quasi-Static Uniaxial Compressive Behaviour of Commercial High-Performance Epoxy Matrices.

Project description:Four commercial high-performance aerospace aromatic epoxy matrices, CYCOM®890, CYCOM®977-2, PR520, and PRISM EP2400, were cured to a standardised 2 h, 180 °C cure cycle and evaluated in quasi-static uniaxial compression, as well as by dynamic scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The thermoplastic toughened CYCOM®977-2 formulation displayed an overall increase in true axial stress values across the entire stress-strain curve relative to the baseline CYCOM®890 sample. The particle-toughened PR520 sample exhibited an overall decrease in true axial stress values past the yield point of the material. The PRISM EP2400 resin, with combined toughening agents, led to true axial stress values across the entire plastic region of the stress-strain curve, which were in line with the stress values observed with the CYCOM®890 material. Interestingly, for all formulations, the dilation angles (associated with the volume change during plastic deformation), recorded at 0.3 plastic strain, were close to 0°, with the variations reflecting the polymer structure. Compression data collected for this series of commercial epoxy resins are in broad agreement with a selection of model epoxy resins based on di- and tetra-functional monomers, cured with polyamines or dicarboxylic anhydrides. However, the fully formulated resins demonstrate a significantly higher compressive modulus than the model resins, albeit at the expense of yield stress.

Forecasting Compressive Strength of RHA Based Concrete Using Multi-Expression Programming.

Project description:Rice husk ash (RHA) is a significant pollutant produced by agricultural sectors that cause a malignant outcome to the environment. To encourage the re-use of RHA, this work used multi expression programming (MEP) to construct an empirical model for forecasting the compressive nature of concrete made with RHA (CRHA) as a cement substitute. Thus, the compressive strength of CRHA was developed comprising of 192 findings from the broad and trustworthy database obtained from literature review. The most significant characteristics, namely the specimen's age, the percentage of RHA, the amount of cement, superplasticizer, aggregates, and the amount of water, were used as input for the modeling of CRHA. External validation, sensitivity analysis, statistical checks, and Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) analysis were used to evaluate the models' performance. It was discovered that the most significant factors impacting the compressive strength of CRHA are the age of the concrete sample (AS), the amount of cement (C) and the amount of aggregate (A). The findings of this study have the potential to increase the re-use of RHA in the production of green concrete, hence promoting environmental protection and financial gain.
