Item Open Access Simulation of cracking and failure of concrete structures(1990) Cervenka, Vladimir; Eligehausen, RolfThe 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.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 Behavior, design and testing of anchors in cracked concrete(1991) Eligehausen, RolfReinforced concrete structures will generally be cracked under service load due to tensile stresses caused by loads or by the restraint of imposed deformations. Therefore, in general, the design of anchors should be based on the assumption that the concrete is cracked.Item Open Access Bewehrungsrichtlinien und bauliche Durchbildung (EC 2, Abschnitt 5)(1992) Eligehausen, Rolf; Litzner, Hans UlrichDie Bewehrungsrichtlinien für Betonstahl (EC 2, Abschnitt 5.2) entsprechen zum großen Teil den Regelungen von DIN 1045. Auch die Form der zu führenden Nachweise unterscheidet sich nicht. Ein wesentlicher Unterschied besteht jedoch darin, daß im Gegensatz zum deutschen Regelwerk in EC 2 alle Nachweise im Grenzzustand der Tragfähigkeit zu führen sind. Daher können infolge des abweichenden Sicherheitskonzepts trotz gleicher physikalischer Grundlagen Unterschiede in den Bemessungsergebnissen auftreten.Item Open Access Fracture size effect: review of evidence for concrete structures(1994) Bazant, Zdenek P.; Ozbolt, Josko; Eligehausen, RolfThe paper reviews experimental evidence on the size effect caused by energy release due to fracture growth during brittle failures of concrete structures. The experimental evidence has by now become quite extensive. The size effect is verified for diagonal shear failure and torsional failure of longitudinally reinforced beams without stirrups, punching shear failure of slabs, pull-out failures of deformed bars and of headed anchors, failure of short and slender tied columns, double-punch compression failure and for part of the range also the splitting failure of concrete cylinders in the Brazilian test. Although much of this experimental evidence has been obtained with smaller laboratory specimens and concrete of reduced aggregate size, some significant evidence now also exists for normal-size structures made with normal-size aggregate. There is also extensive and multifaceted theoretical support. A nonlocal finite element code based on the microplane model is shown to be capable of correctly simulating the existing experimental data on the size effect. More experimental data for large structures with normal-size aggregate are needed to strengthen the existing verification and improve the calibration of the theory.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 Numerical analysis of headed studs embedded in large plain concrete blocks(1990) Ozbolt, Josko; Eligehausen, RolfAnchoring 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.Item Open Access Rotation capacity of prestressed concrete members(1992) Eligehausen, Rolf; Li, LongfeiA numerical investigation on the behaviour of plastic hinges in prestressed concrete structures is presented. The object of the study is to determine the rotation capacity of prestressed concrete members which is needed to predict the amount of moment redistribution in hyperstatic prestressed concrete structures. A numerical model has been developed for the analysis of plastic hinges in prestressed concrete structures. It is based on a simply supported beam which simulates the region between two points of zero moment in a continuous beam. A discrete crack model has been applied in the numerical analysis. Realistic constitutive laws of steel, concrete and bond of reinforcing and prestressing steel have been assumed, respectively. The developed model enables an accurate analysis of the load deformation response of a statically determinate prestressed concrete beam with bonded or unbonded tendons under monotonic loading throughout all behaviour states up to failure . The parameters influencing the rotation capacity of prestressed concrete beams were studied by means of the numerical model.Item Open Access Fastening elements in concrete structures - numerical simulations(1993) Ozbolt, Josko; Eligehausen, RolfAnchoring elements such as headed and expansion studs and grouted or undercut anchors, are often used for local transfer of loads into concrete members. In order to better understand the failure mechanism, a large number of experiments have been carried out in the past. However, due to the complicated three-dimensional load transfer a very few or no numerical studies have been performed for a number of different fastening situations i.e. influence of the embedment depth, crack-width inftuence (fastening in cracked concrete), influence of the edge distance etc. Therefore, in the present study some results of the axisymmetric and three-dimensional numerical analysis of the headed studs embedded in plane concrete block are presented. Influence of different geometrical and material parameters have been studied employing finite element method and nonlocal microplane model. Comparison between experimental and numerical results indicate reasonable good agreement. Generally it has been observed that the failure mechanism is governed by fracture energy rather than by tensile strength of concrete. As a consequence, the size effect is strong and close to linear elastic fracture mechanics.
