Item Open Access Computer simulation of anchoring technique in reinforced concrete beams(1990) Cervenka, Vladimir; Pukl, Radomir; Eligehausen, RolfThe load transfer in reinforced concrete structures by means of anchoring elements is very common in modern concrete technology. Anchoring elements are often inserted in the bottom surface of a structure and the load is transfered by tensile action of the concrete. In case of shear failure, the anchores are located in the most exposed tensile zone of beams. The shear failure can be thus influenced by anchoring elements. This effect was analysed by means of the finite element program SBETA, which is based on the nonlinear-elastic constitutive model. The comparison with experiments for several loading configurations was made. In the second part a computer simulation of similar experiments was conducted.Item Open Access Computer simulation: splitting tests of concrete thick-walled rings(1992) Pukl, Radomir; Schlottke, Bernd; Ozbolt, Josko; Eligehausen, RolfTwo non-linear program systems are used for a computer simulation of splitting failure of thick-walled concrete rings under internal radial pressure. Results of the numerical analyses for plane stress models, axisymmetrical model and 3D model are compared with available experimental data and empirical formulas. It is shown, that the behavior observed in experiments can be simulated, using advanced material models, namely the non local microplane model and SBETA material model based on the crack hand theory. With increasing outer radius of the ring, a size effect can be observed.Item Open Access Quantitative evaluation of clogging phenomena in river beds(1982) Geldner, Peter; Kobus, HelmutClogging phenomena in rivers are of extremely complex nature, and a development of a clogging layer depends on a large variety of influences. In this paper a quantitative approach for the evaluation of a defined hydrodynamic clogging parameter is presented. This approach is based on the inverse use of type curves representing characteristics of the interaction between surface water bodies and the aquifer. The method is applied to field data of discharge measured in seepage ditches at levee protected sites. Since conventional approaches are limited to the assumption of quasi-steady-state flow, a stochastic method for the evaluation of time-variable hydrographs is also outlined.Item Open Access Post-processing tools for nonlinear fe analysis of concrete structures(1990) Cervenka, Vladimir; Pukl, Radomir; Eligehausen, RolfFinite clement analysis of the cracking process in concrete structures brings new requirements for the post-processing environment. Crack direction and location are important for identification of the failure mode. The problem have been solved in the finite element program SBETA which was developed by the authors for simulation of the failure processes in reinforced concrete structures. The post-processing system creates the graphical images of crack patterns. Graphical sequences for simulation can be generated.Item Open Access Relating hydraulics and ecological processes(1991) Hjorth, Peder; Kobus, Helmut; Nachtnebel, Hans Peter; Nottage, Albert; Robarts, RichardAny major modification of the hydraulic system results with some retardation in a response of the ecosystem trying to adapt to the new conditions. It is difficult to imagine situations where hydraulics and ecosystems are not related. Thus, harmonizing hydraulics with ecology means to identify alternative hydraulic measures which yield simultaneously economic benefits and improvement, preservation or at least a best fit of the environmental situation. Often, these objectives are subjected to an inherent conflict and therefore harmonizing is dependent on the preference structure of the modern society, which is inclined to sustainable development. The objective of this chapter is to develop a framework (methodology) which might assist in relating hydraulics and ecology with respect to specific goals under site and problem dependent constraints.Item Open Access Behavior of deformed bars anchored at interior joints under seismic excitations(1983) Eligehausen, Rolf; Popov, Egor P.; Bertero, Vitelmo V.A mathematical model of a deformed bar anchored at interior joints of ductile moment resisting reinforced concrete frames subjected to severe earthquakes is presented. It includes the formulation of an accurate model for the local bond stress-slip relationship, use of a simple model for the stress-strain relationship of the reinforcing steel and the numerical solution of the differential equation of bond. The analytically predicted response of anchored beam bars compares well with tbe results of a series of tests for monotonic and cyclic loading. The influence of major parameters of the behavior of anchored bars is shown by an extensive numerical study. The results of this investigation are used to offer practical recommendations for the anchorage of beam bars at interior joints.Item Open Access The sub-systems. 4 : Groundwater(1991) Herrmann, Reimer; Hubert, P.; Kobus, HelmutGroundwater constitutes the most important freshwater resource of the earth, it is two orders of magnitude larger than the total water volumes of rivers and lakes. It is a renewable resource, characterized by stability of its chemical composition and stability of temperature. Percolation of water through the subsurface has a good purification effect due to the combined action of filtration, sorption, chemical reactions and microbiological processes. Groundwater is utmost important as drinking water resource, since it is less prone to pollution than surface waters due to the protection effects of the covering layers. However, industrial and agricultural activities have led to groundwater pollution problems which are sometimes irreversible and in any case very difficult and expensive to recover. This endangers the long-term use for drinking water supply, and any efforts for sustainable development have to consider the vulnerability of groundwater resources to pollution, which shows great regional diversity, by suitable groundwater protection efforts.Item Open Access Hysteretic behavior of reinforcing deformed hooked bars in R/C joints(1982) Eligehausen, Rolf; Bertero, Vitelmo V.; Popov, Egor P.The force-slip relationships of deformed hooked bars embedded in well confined concrete and subjected to monotonic and cyclic loadings were experimentally studied. The results were used to deduce an analytical model for the hook behavior under generalized excitations. The model is similar to the one for the local bond stress-slip relationship of deformed bars, but with some modifications to account for the different behavior of hooks. The main results of this study are reported.Item Open Access Local bond stress-slip relationships of deformed bars under generalized excitations(1982) Eligehausen, Rolf; Popov, Egor P.; Bertero, Vitelmo V.The local bond stress-slip relationships of deformed bars embedded in confined concrete under monotonic and cyclic loading for various bond conditions were investigated in an extensive experimental study. The results were used to deduce an analytical model of the bond behavior under random excitations. By evaluating experimental results of long anchorages, the model was extended to cover the bond conditions found in joints of R/C frames under severe seismic excitations. The model was successfully used to predict the behavior of deformed bars anchored at interior joints and subjected to various loading histories.Item Open Access Nonlinear analysis of strain-softening damage under monotonic and cyclic loading(1992) Bazant, Zdenek P.; Ozbolt, Josko; Eligehausen, RolfThe paper reviews the modeling of damage by the microplane model and presents extensions required for cyclic loading. The general microplane constitutive model is implemented in a three-dimensional finite element code and used in damage and bifurcation analysis of various structures. The results of the analysis are compared with test results and some of the comparisons are shown in the present paper.
