Report on Dynamic Fracture of Concrete (ACI 446.4R-04)

Leave a Comment / Civil Books Platform, Concrete Structures Books /

Description Impact, explosions, and earthquakes impose dynamic effects on concrete structures. Impact loading on a parapet can occur if it is struck accidentally by a crane. Seismic loading produces significant strain rates in concrete shear-walls and other lateral force-resisting elements. Explosive loading, due to accidental detonation of industrial vapor clouds or terrorist bombing, produces high

Leave a Comment / Civil Books Platform, Concrete Structures Books /

Description Fracture Mechanics of Concrete: Concepts, Models and Determination of Material Properties. Concrete structures are full of cracks. Failure of concrete structures typically involves stable growth of large cracking zones and the formation of large fractures before the maximum load is reached. Yet design is not based on fracture mechanics, even though the basic fracture

Description Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been proposed for use as prestressing tendons in concrete structures. The promise of FRP materials lies in their high-strength, lightweight, noncorrosive, nonconducting, and nonmagnetic properties. In addition, FRP manufacturing, using various cross-sectional shapes and material combinations, offers unique opportunities for the development of shapes and forms that would be

Description Conventional concrete and masonry structures are rein-forced with nonprestressed steel, prestressed steel, or both. Recently, composite materials made of fibers embedded in a polymeric resin, also known as fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, have become an alternative to steel reinforcement. Because FRP materials are nonmetallic and noncorrosive, the problems of steel corrosion are avoided with
