A Powerful Tool for the Analysis and Design of Complex Structural
Elements Finite-Element Modelling of Structural Concrete:
Short-Term Static and Dynamic Loading Conditions presents a
finite-element model of structural concrete under short-term
loading, covering the whole range of short-term loading conditions,
from static (monotonic and cyclic) to dynamic (seismic and impact)
cases. Experimental data on the behavior of concrete at both the
material and structural levels reveal the unavoidable development
of triaxial stress conditions prior to failure which dictate the
collapse and ductility of structural concrete members. Moreover,
and in contrast with generally accepted tenets, it can be shown
that the post-peak behavior of concrete as a material is
realistically described by a complete and immediate loss of
load-carrying capacity. Hence rational analysis and design of
concrete components in accordance with the currently prevailing
limit-state philosophy requires the use of triaxial material data
consistent with the notion of a fully brittle material, and this
approach is implemented in the book by outlining a finite-element
method for the prediction of the strength, deformation, and
cracking patterns of arbitrary structural concrete forms. Presents
a Unified Approach to Structural Modeling Numerous examples are
given that show both the unifying generality of this proposed
approach and the reliability of the ensuing numerical procedure for
which the sole input is the specified uniaxial cylinder compressive
strength of concrete and the yield stress of the steel. This not
only offers a better understanding of the phenomenology of
structural concrete behavior but also illustrates, by means of
suitable examples, the type of revision required for improving
design methods in terms of both safety and economy. This book:
Highlights the significance of valid experimental information on
the behavior of concrete under triaxial stress conditions for
interpreting structural behavior Describes the techniques used for
obtaining valid test data and modeling concrete behavior Discusses
the modeling of steel properties as well as the interaction between
concrete and steel Presents numerical techniques for incorporating
the material models into nonlinear finite-element analysis for the
case of short-term static loading Provides numerical techniques
adopted for extending the use of the numerical analysis scheme for
the solution of dynamic problems Predicts the response of a wide
range of structural-concrete configurations to seismic and impact
excitations Using relevant case studies throughout, Finite-Element
Modelling of Structural Concrete: Short-Term Static and Dynamic
Loading Conditions focuses on the realistic modeling of structural
concrete on the basis of existing and reliable material data and
aids in the research and study of structural concrete and concrete
materials.
