Elastic Modulus Reduction Method Based Limit Analysis of Steel Lined Reinforced Concrete Penstocks Containing Flaws

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the context of ultimate bearing capacity of steel lined reinforced concrete penstock (SLRCP) containing flaws, the use of the elastic modulus reduction method (EMRM) in conjunction with curve beam based internal force calculation is presented. The corrosion models for steel bar and lining are introduced from the literature. The SLRCP is considered bearing load together with lining and reinforced concrete, and its internal force is determined based on a simplified curve beam model. The element bearing ratio of SLRCP is given through the internal force and sectional strength, and is employed by the EMRM. The change of ultimate bearing capacity of some typical SLRCP within their operating life is then evaluated.
