A new type of prestressed concrete hollow girder design for overcoming the typical diseases

This paper proposes a new type of prestressed concrete hollow girder based on the summaries of the current studies on longitudinal cracks and hinge cracks. The match prefabricated method is used with shear key at interface to solve the problem of hingle cracks, and the two-way prestressing strand techniques are used to assure the longitudinal load-bearing capacity and to prevent the emergence of longitudinal cracks because of pressure existing at the match interface. In order to reduce the temperature difference between the internal and external of the prestressed concrete hollow girder, drilling holes are carried out at the bottom slab of girder every distance. To ensure the adhesive effect between the girder and deck pavement, we designed grooves at the top slab of girders. The finite element analysis results of a design example show that the pressure stress of bottom slab of girder is about 2.58 MPa and 0.16 MPa, which are effective to avoid the appearance of longitudinal cracks and hinge cracks.     

Spatial Calculation Methods of Three Main Trusses Continuous Plate truss Composite Bridge

According to the structural features of three main trusses continuous plate truss composite bridge, two composite beam methods are presented by constructing the displacement mode of composite beam elements and deriving the stiffness matrix of composite beam elements. The characteristic of composite beam method one is that the bridge slab is taken as the top flange of the chord of main truss and combined with the chord of main truss to form a steel concrete composite beam; the characteristic of composite beam method two is that the bridge slab is taken as the top flange of longitudinal and traverse beam and form a steel concrete composite beam with longitudinal and traverse beams. And as for the conventional plate beam composite method, the slab is characterized by forming bridge slab system with continuous isotropic sheets and longitudinal and traverse beams to bear load. Also, the comparison between theoretical results and experimental ones verifies the effectiveness of the above three methods.     

Deflection and Stress Analysis of a Pavement Slab under Temperature Gradient and Axial Loading Coupling

It has been established that a pavement slab will curl up if a temperature gradient exists across the depth of a slab. A negative temperature gradient causes the slab edge to curl up while a positive temperature gradient curls up the slab center. Temperature stress in slabs is induced by self-weight and other slab constraints. At present in P. R. China, the total stress considered in cement concrete pavement design includes the load stress plus the temperature stress, and only transverse cracking from bottom to top is considered for concrete pavement. Slab responses under axial loads and temperature gradient coupling are not included. We modeled a single slab with a frictionless interface between the slab and foundation using the finite element method. Slab deflection and stress were calculated under axial loads at different slab positions and negative or positive temperature gradient coupling. The calculated results show that the different conditions of axial loads and temperature gradient coupling will change the maximum tension and cause various types of cracks in a slab.     

高性能混凝土板式构件的早期收缩特性及预测模型

以桥面板等高性能混凝土板式构件为研究对象,通过实验测试了板式构件不同截面厚度位置处早期收缩分布情况,探讨混凝土早期收缩变形与温度、湿度发展过程。结果表明,混凝土板式构件的内部厚度方向不同位置处的相对湿度随龄期都呈现逐渐减小趋势,并呈现两阶段特征,同时,混凝土板式构件早期收缩变形厚度方向不同步,导致板式构件表面产生拉应力,当拉应力大于当时混凝土的抗拉强度时,混凝土表面就会出现浅层裂缝,这与实际工程中发现的板式构件表面开裂情况相吻合。混凝土板式构件早期收缩变形与相同配合比混凝土的早期自由收缩变形进行比较,引入相对约束度并建立了混凝土板式构件早期收缩变形的预测模型,并验证了该模型的准确性,其特点是能预测高性能混凝土板式构件不同截面厚度位置的早期收缩变形,对控制混凝土桥梁板式结构的早期收缩裂缝具有实际意义。     

Effect of built-in temperature difference on curling and stresses in cement concrete slabs

The temperature distributions were measured in hardening concrete slabs, determining final set time of concrete; the calculation methods of built-in temperature difference and the effective temperature difference were provided to determine the corresponding values of the slabs constructed during spring and fall, respectively. Finally, the influence of built-in temperature difference on slab curling and stress were evaluated based on finite element analysis. The results show that negative built-in temperature differences were found in both spring and fall construction which will lead to loss of slab support in the mid-slab position during the most time of a day, and larger tensile stress generates at the slab bottom. However, small size slab will minimize this negative effect from built-in temperature difference and at the same time reduce fatigue damage.

Numerical simulation and optimization of flow and temperature fields for wide slab cast mold

Fluid flow and temperature distribution in a wide slab continuous caster mold are simulated using the commercial software FLUENT. The research results show that the longitudinal cracks in the wide slab surface with an original submerged entry nozzle (SEN) mainly are caused by weak upper flow circulation in the mold, slow heat exchange near the meniscus, and non uniform melting of the mold powder. Therefore, a modified SEN with smaller outlet thickness, a 15° downward port angle, and convex bottom is designed to overcome the disadvantages of the original nozzle. The characteristics of the molten steel flow are analyzed by numerical simulation. The results indicate that the parameters of the optimum SEN are more highly optimized than the original SEN. The trial results also show that the optimum SEN possesses a better application effect.

In this paper, the fracture process of specimen with pre-cracks is studied by using photo-elastic expe' merit.The analysis results of cracks stress field show that because the inter-effection appears between the the two cracks and the tensile fracture occured when the tensile stress concentration reaches to a certain degree, and cracks link up with each other, macroscopic failure will gradually result. Positions of cracks will have different effections to speciment's fracture.     

Evaluation on the Damage Evolution of the CRCP+AC Composite Pavement by the Concrete Dameged Plasticity Material Model

In the study on the CRCP+AC composite pavement, the form and distribution pattern of cracks are two important factors influencing the performance and the lifetime of the pavement. The concrete damaged plasticity material model incorporated in the general purpose finite element software named ABAUQS was adopted to describe the mechanical characteristics of the CRC slab. Combining with the temperature field database drawn from the three-dimensional transient heat transfer analysis, the structural damage under the condition of temperature changing is analyzed. The structural damage evolution and the crack behavior of the CRC slab subjected to the thermal-mechanical coupling condition are further analyzed, which suggests that the role of the asphalt concrete surface is not confined only to the scope of improving the performance of the road, its capacity for improving the stress state of CRCP slab is worthwhile to be affirmed. And the reasonable thickness of AC layer should be designed in consideration of the thermal contraction and damage properties of the CRC slab comprehensively.

Mechanical and Deformation Characteristicson Shield Tunnel Segment with Cracks

The 3D Goodman element is used to simulate segments' cracks in one section of shield tunnel in Guangzhou. Mechanical and deformation characteristics of segment structure responded to varied depth of cracks is analyzed in this paper. Meanwhile, research on coefficient of lateral earth pressure, soil coefficient and ground water level on mechanical and deformation characteristics is carried out. The research result shows that along with the increase of cracks' depth, the tensile stress, pressure stress reach the maximum value while the increment is not too much. However, when the depth equals to the thickness of segment, the reinforcements' tensile stress has increase sharply, even exceeded the allowable value. Moreover, the maximum number of tensile stress, horizontal and vertical convergent value of shield tunnel segment with cracks increase with the reduction of the coefficient of lateral earth pressure and soil coefficient, and increase with the increase of ground water level as well. Specific repair measure has been taken to segments' cracks in this section of shield tunnel based on the conclusions. In general, this section of shield tunnel is stable and safe now, and there is no longer new cracks appeared.

Experimental Analysis on Shear Strengthening Capacity of Secondary Dapped end Beams

Because section steel can only be extended to the edge of the support, when a simple support RC beam is reinforced by bonded section steel, a notch comes into being at the end of the beam which is called a secondary dapped end beam, making the stress state of the beam more complex. Through experimental analysis on 21 dapped end beam specimens shear reinforced by steel plate bonded, the deformation process, performing characteristics and failure mechanism of the specimens were investigated. The result shows that two steel bonded forms, including horizontal steel plate and oblique steel plate with angle 45° bonded, delay the appearance of cracks significantly and improve the maximum bearing capacity by 102% and 93%. Due to the impact of stress concentration at the notch, the main modes of damage include concrete tensile or shear failure with the result of bonding failure of a steel plate. By changing the width of steel plates and analyzing different reinforcement effects, formula of bearing capacity of shear reinforcement was proposed based on the method of truss analogue, which provides a reference for engineering application.

Research on the influence of structure integral performance to the RC frame structure failure mode(Ⅰ): Numerical analysis

Three models of 3D cast-in-place RC frame structures are simulated in ABAQUS. In the three models, one represents the actual RC frame structure with monolithic slab, one represents the open frame structure used in structural design currently, which means truss structure at the stage of calculating internal forces of frame beams and columns, and the third one represents the open frame structure which takes into account some slab reinforcement in the rectangle section of frame beam to consider the slab participation in the flexural capacity of frame beam. By investigating the failure mode of these three models, the development of plastic hinges, the reinforcement stress of beam, column and slab in the models, the influence of monolithic slab to the bending resistance of beam end is studied. It shows that the existence of slab makes the failure mode of actual RC frame structure different from the design criteria of strong column weak beam. It also indicates that the slab participation in the bending resistance of beam end is not only expressed in the slab reinforcement but also in the structure integral performance. Besides, when using the effective flange width to consider the slab reinforcement participation, the structure integral performance, lateral displacement and other relevant factors should be taken into account.

AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON CEMENT MORTAR SPBCIMENS WITN A CENTRAL SLITS UNDBR UNIAXIAL COMPRESSION

The cement mortar specimens with a central slits are tested under uniaxial com-pression.The test results show that tensile cracks initiate,as a rule near the tip and may propagatesteady for a certain length.Mean while shear fructures appear and propagate slowly to the failurestate in the zone of compressive stress concentration. So the fracture strength of rock under compres-sion might be differentiated into the initial tensile strength,the peak strength and residual strength.
