Abstract
In this study, the capacity and ultimate behavior of Reinforced Concrete (RC) and Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) beams are evaluated. Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis (NLFEA) and the inverse analysis technique were used to model its structural response using the ATENA finite element software. The smeared crack approach, the crack band model, and advanced constitutive models were used to reproduce concrete fracture. The analyzed beams were subjected to rupture in a four-point bending test setup. The relationship between the shear span and the depth of the beams was 1.5. Four scenarios were analyzed, RC beams with and without stirrups, and SFRC beams without stirrups with volumes of 0.57% and 0.76%. The results obtained in the modeling are discussed in terms of the ability of the models to numerically reproduce the relationships: load versus displacement, load versus strain, crack patterns, and failure modes. The analysis techniques allowed to reproduce the experimental response of the beams with good agreement. They show great potential to solve structural engineering problems
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Construction is aimed at professionals, constructors, academics, researchers, companies, architects, engineers, and anyone who wishes to expand and update their knowledge about construction. We therefore invite all researchers, academics, and professionals to send their contributions for assessment and possible publication in this journal. The publications are free of publication charges.
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the Journal of Construction are:
1. To disseminate new knowledge in all areas related to construction (Building, Civil Works, Materials, Business, Education, etc.).
2. To provide professionals in the area with material for discussion to refresh and update their knowledge.
3. To disseminate new applied technologies in construction nationally and internationally.
4. To provide national and foreign academics with an internationally endorsed medium in which to share their knowledge and debate the topics raised.
