Analysis of crack formation and crack growth in concrete by means of fracture mechanics and finite elements

Arne Hillerborg, +2 more

- Vol. 6, Iss: 6, pp 773-781
TLDR
In this article, fracture mechanics is introduced into finite element analysis by means of a model where stresses are assumed to act across a crack as long as it is narrowly opened, which may be regarded as a way of expressing the energy adsorption in the energy balance approach.

Mechanism of fatigue crack growth in concrete

Hideyuki Horii, +2 more
- 01 Jan 1992 - 
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical model of fatigue crack growth in concrete is proposed in order to identify its governing mechanism, based on the tension-softening behaviour of concrete under cyclic load.

Orthotropic damage coupled with localized crack reclosure processing. Part I: Constitutive laws

Alain Sellier, +3 more
- 01 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a model for cracks opening and reclosure management based on a displacement formulation, which is easy to implement in most of the finite element codes based on displacement formulation.

Behaviour of partially encased composite columns with high strength concrete

Mahbuba Begum, +2 more
- 01 Nov 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a finite element model capable of simulating the response of partially encased composite columns under eccentric and concentric axial loading is presented, which can predict the overall stress-strain behavior of high strength concrete.

Bridge Rating Using System Reliability Assessment. I: Assessment and Verification by Load Testing

Naiyu Wang, +3 more
- 01 Nov 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this article, conditions assessment and safety verification of existing bridges and decisions as to whether a bridge requires posting currently are addressed through analysis, load testing, or a combination of the three steps.

Shear-slip behaviour and ductility of composite dowel connectors with pry-out failure

Martin Classen, +1 more
- 01 Nov 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose models for the calculation of the slip capacity and the description of the shear-slip characteristic, considering the composite dowels' shear capacity and elastic connector stiffness.
