Mixed-Mode Fracture and Anchor Bolts in Concrete Analysis with Inner Softening Bands
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The paper presents a nonlinear fracture mechanics analysis of mixed-mode fracture and anchor pullout in concrete. The analysis is based on elements with inner softening bands (ISB). A major advantage of the ISB approach ...
Assessment of the Strengthening of an RC Railway Bridge with CFRP Utilizing a Full-Scale Failure Test and Finite-Element Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A finite element (FE) model was calibrated using the data obtained from a full-scale test to failure of a 50 year old reinforced concrete (RC) railway bridge. The model was then used to assess the effectiveness of various ...
