Deflection Analysis of Externally Prestressed Concrete Beam Based on Damage Mechanics

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article describes the static experiment of externally prestressed concrete beam under the beeline reinforcing patterns. It adopts the damage mechanics - superimposed load - finite element method, uses damage constitutive equation to replace the constitutive equation, which does not take the damage into account, self-compiled eight-node uniform-parameter element superimposed load finite element program is used to analyze the forced distortion of experimental beam. The value analysis results show: the damage mechanics can soundly reflect the complicated behaviors of concrete materials in the load-superimposing process and has obtained the values of the concrete material damage characteristic parameters and achieved the results that are consistent with the experiment. Therefore, damage mechanics has provided a new way in studying the nonlinear behaviors of concrete materials.
