Simulations of Bending Experiments of Concrete Beams by Stochastic Discrete Model

Abstract:

The paper describes results of numerical simulations of experiments on concrete beams loaded in three-point bending. Stochastic lattice-particle model has been applied in which the material was represented by discrete particles of random size and location. Additional spatial variability of material properties was introduced by stationary autocorrelated random field. Three different types of geometrically similar beams were modeled: half-notched, fifth-notched and unnotched, each in four different sizes. The deterministic and stochastic model parameters were identified via automatic procedure based on comparison to a subset of experimental data, so that the adequacy of the model response could be validated by comparison with the remaining experimental data.
