Fracture Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Structures with Account of Concrete Cracking under Steel Corrosion

Article Preview

Abstract:

A direct 3D finite element (FE) modeling of fracture processes in reinforced concrete bridge structures is considered with account of the macrocracks initiation and propagation, real geometry of reinforcing elements, discontinuity in the bond-slip behavior, using elastic-plastic-damage constitutive equations for concrete. The comparison of obtained FE results with experimental data is presented and discussed for the pulling ribbed bars out of concrete blocks, the spalling of concrete cover at the automobile bridge and cracking of ballastless deck at the railway bridge.
