This study aims to examine the failure behaviour of damaged reinforced concrete
(RC) beams retrofitted using externally bonded ultra-high-performance
fibre-reinforced cementitious composites (UHPFRCCs) systems at different levels
of damage levels. To overcome the sudden failure in shear at supports, one strip
of UHPFRCCs was bonded on the tension face with four short strips on vertical
sides cover... hiện toàn bộ
Non-associative Fractional-Order Bounding-Surface Model for Granular Soils Considering State DependenceInternational Journal of Civil Engineering - Tập 17 - Trang 171-179 - 2017
Yifei Sun, Yufeng Gao, Yang Shen
The constitutive behaviour of granular soil is usually non-associative and
depends on the soil density and pressure. To simulate such dependence of the
non-associative stress–strain response on material state, two distinct yielding
and plastic potential surfaces were usually suggested in the traditional
elastoplastic models, which, however, made the model to become complex. To solve
this problem, ... hiện toàn bộ
Variation of Resilient Modulus with Soil Suction for Cohesive Soils in South ChinaInternational Journal of Civil Engineering - Tập 16 - Trang 1655-1667 - 2018
Junhui Zhang, Junhui Peng, Jue Li, Jianlong Zheng
The resilient modulus, MR, of subgrade soils had been used extensively as an
important unbound material property in the pavement design and analysis. The
stress state and the humidity of cohesive soils have significant impacts on the
resilient modulus. To predict the resilient modulus of cohesive soils in South
China, the material indicator tests, an improved repeated load triaxial test and
the pr... hiện toàn bộ
Experimental and Numerical Analyses of Single Pedestrian Walking on a Hollow Core Concrete FloorInternational Journal of Civil Engineering - Tập 17 - Trang 1201-1209 - 2018
Fangzhou Liu, Jean-Marc Battini, Costin Pacoste
The purpose of this paper is to study experimentally and numerically the dynamic
response of a hollow core concrete slab due to a single pedestrian. To achieve
this aim, a test structure consisting of six hollow core concrete elements of
dimension 10 m × 1.2 m has been built. A finite element model of the structure
based on orthotropic shell elements has been implemented. The accuracy of the
finit... hiện toàn bộ
Hanoi Cohesive Soil in Salt-Affected Conditions: Soil Properties and 2D Consolidation AnalysisInternational Journal of Civil Engineering - Tập 18 - Trang 137-150 - 2019
Nguyen Ngoc Truc, Lena Mihova
The paper focuses on the geotechnical experiments and numerical simulation of 2D
consolidation analysis for the cohesive soils fully saturated by solutions of
four salt concentrations, i.e. 0.0, 9.9, 19.8, and 33.0 g/L. The experiments
were carried out on undisturbed soil samples taken from the boreholes in Hanoi
area where the subsoil has not been affected by saline intrusion yet. The
composition... hiện toàn bộ
A Nonlinear Model to Predict Drivers’ Track Paths Along a CurveInternational Journal of Civil Engineering - Tập 14 - Trang 271-280 - 2016
Gaetano Bosurgi, Nicola Bongiorno, Orazio Pellegrino
This study proposes a prediction model about the trajectories a vehicle, in
isolated conditions, along a curve of a road. As we know, the road environment
induces stress on users and, under certain conditions, influences driving
behavior. It is of advantage then, to isolate and identify those conditions from
among the numerous variables, which are actually the most significant so as to
prevent or ... hiện toàn bộ
Nonlinear Finite Element Modeling of Shear-Critical Reinforced Concrete Beams Using a Set of Interactive Constitutive LawsInternational Journal of Civil Engineering - Tập 14 - Trang 507-519 - 2016
Vahid Broujerdian, Mohammad Taghi Kazemi
Complex nature of diagonal tension accompanied by the formation of new cracks as
well as closing and propagating preexisting cracks has deterred researchers to
achieve an analytical and mathematical procedure for accurate predicting shear
behavior of reinforced concrete, and there is the lack of a unique theory
accepted universally. Shear behavior of reinforced concrete is studied in this
paper ba... hiện toàn bộ
Discrete Element Modeling of Drained Triaxial Test: Flexible and Rigid Lateral BoundariesInternational Journal of Civil Engineering - Tập 16 - Trang 1463-1474 - 2018
Seyed Mohammad Binesh, Ehsan Eslami-Feizabad, Reza Rahmani
In the present paper, drained triaxial test on granular materials is simulated
by discrete element method. Two types of boundary conditions including rigid and
flexible boundaries are modeled in the tests. To simulate flexible boundary
condition, a new algorithm based on linking the MATLAB and PFC3D codes is
proposed. In this algorithm, triaxial test samples are simulated in PFCD3D and
the spatial... hiện toàn bộ
