    Simulation of cracking and failure of concrete structures
    (1990) Cervenka, Vladimir; Eligehausen, Rolf
    The computer simulation of the cracking process in concrete structures is performed by means of the program system SBETA. The program is based on nonlinear hypo-elastic constitutive model, which covers all important, experimentally derived material properties, namely, cracking, nonlinear stress-strain law in compression, softenning in compression and tension, biaxial failure function, etc. The nonlinear fracture mechanics is included by means of the fictitious crack model and smeared crack approach. Two examples of computer simulation of concrete fracture are shown. In the first example, the failure mode of a pull-out test is presented. In the second example, the process of the crack development and shear failure of a reinforced concrete beam is simulated.

    Computer simulation of anchoring technique in reinforced concrete beams
    (1990) Cervenka, Vladimir; Pukl, Radomir; Eligehausen, Rolf
    The 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.

    Computer simulation: splitting tests of concrete thick-walled rings
    (1992) Pukl, Radomir; Schlottke, Bernd; Ozbolt, Josko; Eligehausen, Rolf
    Two 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.

    Managing uncertainties in LCA dataset selection
    (2019) Pfeuffer, Simon; Wehner, Daniel; Bouslama, Raed
    The selection of LCA datasets requires an understanding of the available datasets in a database and awareness about the uncertainties associated with the dataset selection. Therefore, a graphical presentation technique is introduced to support the communication of information about available datasets and uncertainties.

    Frequency and safety of small radii on motorway-like roads in greater Stuttgart area - recommendations for future guidelines of motorways
    (2022) Holzwarth, Jürgen
    The German Guidelines for the Design of Motorways (RAA 2008) assume sufficient safety of a circular curvature if a vehicle does not slip of the road at a given design speed. Earlier researches indicated a higher accident-risk of small radii R < 1000m frequently used on motorwaylike road with a design speed of 100 kph given in German Guideline for Motorways RAA 2008. With regard to the “Vision Zero”, no fatal accidents, it was examined whether minimum radii should be increased to improve safety. For this purpose, 174 km from the entire 200 km motorway-like road network in Greater Stuttgart Area were selected. The existing circular radii were evaluated according to their frequency and accident risk using databases of the State of Baden-Württemberg about road geometry and accidents including the accident cost rate for each 100 m section. Within the selected network 212 circular curves exist. All radii R ≤ 1000 m were examined for their accident cost rate. Radii with an accident cost rate above the average were classified as risky. The investigation showed that 33 % of all applied radii are below R < 1000m. Circular curves with R < 650m showed a significantly higher accident risk and should be excluded. Circular curves between R ≥ 650m and R < 900m showed a higher accident risk if the ratio of adjacent radii is considerably above R1/R2 ≥ 1.5. After a long straight line the minimum radius should be R ≥ 1000m. The study results in recommendations for the geometric design introduced by the follow-up of German Guidelines for Motorways.

    Rationale of detailing provisions in MC 78 and identification of missing items
    (1986) Eligehausen, Rolf
    The quality of a structure depends significantly on the quality of the detailing of the reinforcement. If failures occur, they are often caused by poor detailing, but rarely by incorrect structural analysis. Therefore the MC 78 pays close attention to this subject. The corresponding provisions are given in Section 17 and 18 of the Model Code.

    Kombination aus Biowäscher- und Biomembranverfahren zur Reinigung von Abluft und hydrophilen und hydrophoben Inhaltsstoffen
    (1994) Reiser, Martin; Fischer, Klaus; Engesser, Karl-Heinrich
    Abluft, die eine Mischung aus wasserlöslichen uod wasserunlöslichen organischen Lösungsmitteln enthält, stellt für ein biologisches Reinigungsverfahren eine große Herausforderung dar. Durch Kombination eines Biomembranreaktors mit Silikonkautschukmembranen und einem Biowäscher konnten für ein Gemisch von Methanol, n-Hexan und Toluol in der Abluft gute Reinigungsleistungen erzielt werden.

    Post-processing tools for nonlinear fe analysis of concrete structures
    (1990) Cervenka, Vladimir; Pukl, Radomir; Eligehausen, Rolf
    Finite 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.

    Numerical analysis of headed studs embedded in large plain concrete blocks
    (1990) Ozbolt, Josko; Eligehausen, Rolf
    Anchoring elements such as headed studs, expansion, grouted or undercut anchors are used for local transfer of loads into concrete members. Parameter study of the behavior of headed stud anchors with embedment depth h v= 130 mm and failing by pulling out a concrete cone, is performed through numerical analysis. Compression and tension strength, fracture energy and the head diameter are varied. Numerical analysis is performed using nonlocal microplane model and axisymmetric finite elements. Results of the analysis are compared with experimental results.
