Uncertainty of Predicting Shear Strength

Abstract:

The authors participated in the prediction contest for strength of 4m deep concrete slab strip set forth by University Toronto in Canada. They submitted the best prediction among 66 entries from all over the world. Their solution was achieved with a numerical analysis based on nonlinear constitutive model of concrete using fracture mechanics. The shear strength of beam was significantly affected by its large size. After the results of contest were made public the authors performed a study about mesh sensitivity and element type effects, which resulted in assessment of model uncertainty.
