Experimental data on the behavior of concrete at both the material and structural levels reveal the unavoidable development of triaxial stress conditions prior to failure which dictate the collapse and ductility of structural concrete members. Moreover, and in contrast with generally accepted tenets, it can be shown that the post-peak behavior of concrete as a material is realistically described by a complete and immediate loss of load-carrying capacity. Hence rational analysis and design of concrete components in accordance with the currently prevailing limit-state philosophy requires the use of triaxial material data consistent with the notion of a fully brittle material, and this approach is implemented in the book by outlining a finite-element method for the prediction of the strength, deformation, and cracking patterns of arbitrary structural concrete forms. Presents a Unified Approach to Structural Modeling Numerous examples are given that show both the unifying generality of this proposed approach and the reliability of the ensuing numerical procedure for which the sole input is the specified uniaxial cylinder compressive strength of concrete and the yield stress of the steel. This not only offers a better understanding of the phenomenology of structural concrete behavior but also illustrates, by means of suitable examples, the type of revision required for improving design methods in terms of both safety and economy.

Author by: Anna Ermakova Language: en Publisher by: Bokforlaget Efron & Dotter AB Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 62 Total Download: 622 File Size: 49,7 Mb Description: The work presents the theoretical basis of Additional Finite Element Me-thod (AFEM), which is a variant of the Finite Element Method (FEM) for analy-sis of reinforced concrete structures at limit state. AFEM adds to the traditional sequence of problem by FEM the units of the two well-known methods of the structural design: method of additional loads and limit state method. The prob-lem is solved by introduction of ideal failure models and additional design dia-grams formed from additional finite elements, where each AFE describes the limit state reached by the main element. The main relations defining the proper-ties of AFEs as well as the examples of the use of Additional Finite Element Me-thod for analysis of reinforced concrete structures at limit state are given in the work too.

The project covered all the aspects of reinforced concrete structures, namely materials, structural elements, structural design, construction, and feasibility studies. In addition to presenting these results, the book includes two chapters giving an elementary explanation of modern analytical techniques, i.e.

Author by: Ehab Ellobody Language: en Publisher by: Butterworth-Heinemann Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 30 Total Download: 291 File Size: 42,8 Mb Description: In recent years, bridge engineers and researchers are increasingly turning to the finite element method for the design of Steel and Steel-Concrete Composite Bridges. However, the complexity of the method has made the transition slow. Based on twenty years of experience, Finite Element Analysis and Design of Steel and Steel-Concrete Composite Bridges provides structural engineers and researchers with detailed modeling techniques for creating robust design models.

The book’s seven chapters begin with an overview of the various forms of modern steel and steel–concrete composite bridges as well as current design codes. This is followed by self-contained chapters concerning: nonlinear material behavior of the bridge components, applied loads and stability of steel and steel–concrete composite bridges, and design of steel and steel–concrete composite bridge components. Constitutive models for construction materials including material non-linearity and geometric non-linearity The mechanical approach including problem setup, strain energy, external energy and potential energy), mathematics behind the method Commonly available finite elements codes for the design of steel bridges Explains how the design information from Finite Element Analysis is incorporated into Building information models to obtain quantity information, cost analysis.

Finite-element Design of Concrete Structures, Second edition, is the structural engineer's essential practical guide to the computational design of concrete structures. An increasing reliance on computer power means that now even simple structures are designed with the aid of computers. In this book, the author uses worked examples of real-life structures to address the dangers of a blind acceptance of computer outputs. Illustrating the difference between theory and practice, and the importance of practical knowledge of the behaviour of a structure, this book will help readers to eliminate errors in their calculations. Now covering all relevant structures - from simple beams to three dimensional building models - and compatible with Eurocode 2 Part 1, the second edition is a truly comprehensive guide.

Numerous real-life worked examples show how to check numerical calculations and avoid errors in computational analysis. Prepared using commonly available systems, the worked examples can be checked and verified by readers using their own software. Written for the practicing structural engineer using computer software for the design of concrete structures, this book will also help students of structural engineering - and software developers - appreciate the importance of practical understanding in addition to computer power.
