A Calculating Method of Non Linear Earth Pressure Behind Retaining Walls

Based on equilibrium analysis of forces and moment with inclined soil element, an analytical solution of earth pressure with inclined surface of fill and rough retaining wall was proposed, and the influence of slope angle of fill on earth pressure also was discussed. It is shown that the classical Rankine's earth pressure theory is a special case of the analytical solution with horizontal surface of fill and a smooth retaining wall. The results also show that the limiting rupture angle of a sliding wedge behind a retaining wall decreased with increasing slope angle of fill or friction angle between soil and a retaining wall, with the settled value of the internal friction angle of fill. The non linear character of earth pressure exhibited distinctly for the earth pressure along a retaining wall was obtained by an analytical solution. The value of earth pressure is 0 at the toe of retaining wall, consistent with the testing results. In addition, the value of earth pressure at the toe of the retaining wall will increase rapidly with increasing slope angle of fill. The analytical solution of earth pressure behind a retaining wall with fill of clay soils can be further studied with the investigative method we developed.

Computational Model and Influencing Factor Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Walls under Fire

The finite element software ABAQUS is used to calculate the deformation of reinforced concrete walls under fire. The calculated results agree well with previous experimental results. Based on the finite element model, the influences of such parameters as axial load level, lateral load level, height-to-thickness ratio, wall thickness, concrete compressive strength, steel reinforcement yield strength, steel reinforcement ratio and concrete protection thickness on deformation and fire resistance of walls are analyzed systematically. It is found that, under the conditions of big axial load level or wall thickness without lateral load and small height-to-thickness ratio, the reverse deflection of reinforced concrete walls in fire is apt to occur. Within the work range of parameters in common use, the fire resistance of walls decreases with the increase of axial load level, lateral load level, height-to-thickness ratio, steel reinforcement yield strength or steel reinforcement ratio, and increases with the increase of wall thickness or concrete compressive strength.

Study on Seismic Behavior of Edge Slab-column Connection

Under the action of lateral forces and vertical loads, the connection of reinforced concrete slab-column structure will not only transfer significant shear forces, but also unbalanced moment. As to the edge slab-column connection, even if there is no later force, it will also transfer unbalanced moment due to the asymmetry. Currently, most tests and studies focus on interior connections, but there are few tests or studies on edge slab-column connections. A relatively new type of shear reinforcement named shear-stud reinforcement was applied in edge column-slab connections and study on the seismic behavior of these connections was conducted. Tests and finite element analysis of three full-scale reinforced concrete edge slab-column connections subjected to gravity and unbalanced moment were completed in this paper, and main conclusions were as following: the bearing capacity, deformation capacity and seismic behavior of connections reinforced with shear-stud reinforcement are improved; deformation of specimens reinforced with shear-stud reinforcement could meet requirements of current codes; the performance of energy dissipating is as good as the common connections, and has reached the medium ductility level.

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.

Calculation Method of Shear Behavior of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced High Performance Concrete Deep Beams

The static tests on hybrid fiber (steel fiber and polypropylene fiber) reinforced high performance concrete deep beams according to the orthogonal experimental design were conducted. The shear capacity and calculation method of deep beams were discussed as well. The contributory factors such as the characteristic parameters of steel fiber (types, volume fraction, aspect ratio), the volume fraction of polypropylene fiber, the ratio of web horizontal reinforcement and the ratio of web vertical reinforcement were analyzed. Results show that the shear failure mode of deep beams is changed with adding a reasonable volume of hybrid fibers, and hybrid fiber can greatly increase the diagonal cracking strength and shear strength of HPC deep beams. The diagonal cracking strength is increased by 45.2% averagely while the shear strength is increased by 25.6% averagely. A satisfied result is obtained when the plasticity theory is used to analyze shear behavior of hybrid fiber reinforced HPC deep beams. The contribution of web horizontal reinforcement and web vertical reinforcement to shear strength of deep beams is not obvious but the former plays a major role. After analyzing the strengthening mechanism of hybrid fiber, a formula to calculate the shear capacity of hybrid fiber reinforced HPC deep beams is presented based on spatial strut-and-tie mode and splitting failure.

Seismic Behavior of a Slope Protected by a Soil Nailing Retaining Wall during an Earthquake

The dynamic elastic plastic finite element method was used to study the seismic performance of a slope protected by a soil nailing retaining wall. On the basis of working in parallel and interaction between loess and a flexible retaining wall, a 3 D nonlinear finite element method (ADINA) also was established. Rational earthquake excitation and damping were discussed for geological engineering. Horizontal and vertical excitations were considered simultaneously in the analyses. A model capable of simulating the nonlinear static and dynamic elastic plastic behavior of soil was used to model the soil, and a bilinear elastic plastic model having hardening behavior was used to model the soil nailing. A friction element was employed to describe the soil structure interaction behavior. Our research focused on the seismic performance of the horizontal and vertical slope deformation, soil nailing axial force, and earth pressure subjected to horizontal and vertical excitations. The results show that the seismic performance of slope protected by soil nailing is good; soil nailing axial force increases after an earthquake; permanent slope displacement occurs during an earthquake; and the peak earth pressure distribution during an earthquake is similar to the earth pressure before the earthquake. These conclusions can provide references for seismic analyses and design in soil nailing engineering.

Experimental and Parametric Analysis of the Flexural Behavior of HRBF RC Beams

In order to investigate the flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with high strength hot rolled bars of fine grains, static bending test on four rectangle cross section HRBF400, HRBF500 RC beams was conducted. The results show that the experimental maximum crack width under short term load meets the requirement of current code while calculated value does not meet; mid span deflection of RC beams with HRBF400 under short term load still meets the requirement of current code while RC beams with HRBF500 does not meet. Bearing capacity calculating formula under conditions of crack/deflection control was proposed and conception of component's bearing capacity utilization coefficient (BCUC) was put forward. The influences of reinforcement strength, reinforcement diameter, concrete grade, reinforcement ratio, concrete cover thickness and high span ratio on BCUC were analyzed. Within the range of economic reinforcement ratio, ductility of HRBF RC beams meets the requirement. Energy dissipation capacity of HRBF RC beams is similar to that of normal RC beams at low reinforcement ratio but it decreases faster than normal RC beams with the increasing of reinforcement ratio. Energy dissipation capacity of HRBF RC beams is higher than that of normal RC concrete beams in elastic stage and it enhances with the increasing of reinforcement ratio.

Effect of Reinforced-Concrete Deterioration on Structures

s:It is proposed that the research of the structural durability is necessary considering the structural damages under the effect of deterioration of reinforced concrete. The most common reasons, which cause the deterioration of structures in China, are reinforcement corrosion and freeze thaw cycles of concrete. Based on the summarizing of research works of the effect of reinforced concrete deterioration on structures, it is indicated that the structural durability research should be carried out either in view of material science or that of structural science, and should be also considered the interaction of several factors with uncertain nature instead of the determined individual factor analysis. The structural durability of serviceable should be paid much more attention while researching the durability of structural capacity. The effect of reinforced concrete deterioration on structural capacity, rigidity and durability should be researched henceforth.
