Finite Element Analysis of Dynamic Responses of Plain Concrete Pavements Under Strong Impact Loading Xiaohe ZHOU1, a *, Dawei MA2, Guigao LE3 1School of Mechanical Engineering, NUST, Nanjing210094, China 2School of Mechanical Engineering, NUST, Nanjing210094, China 3School of Mechanical Engineering, NUST, Nanjing210094, China a E-mail:xiaohezhou@126.com Keywords: heavy impact loading, plain concrete pavement, brittle crack model, finite element, failure mode Abstract.
To obtain dynamic response and failure mode of plain concrete pavement under heavy impact loading, the concrete brittle crack model is adopted and finite element model of plain concrete pavements is established; the dynamic response and failure mode under heavy impact loading in different loading points and different loading times are studied; the production, stretching and extension of cracking are researched; which is a powerful reference for practical engineering application.
In recent decades, concrete material becomes a common structural material in industrial and civil architecture.

Flexural Behavior and Ductility of Concrete Beams Strengthened with Near-Surface Mounted GFRP Bars Haixia Zhang1,a, Ling Wang2,b, Guorui Liu1,c 1School of Civil Engineering, Shenyang Jianzhu University, China 2School of Civil Engineering, Hebei University of Technology, China airiszhx@163.com,bwlark@sina.com, cliuguorui1216@163.com Keywords: NSM; GFRP Bars; Reinforced Concrete Beam; Flexural Strengthening; Ductility Abstract: The objective of this study is to investigate the flexural behaviors and ductility of reinforced concrete beam with near-surface mounted (NSM) GFRP bars.
Introduction Many in-service civil and industrial buildings, bridge, municipal work, and hydraulic engineering may be repaired or rehabilitated in China due to materials decay, environmental corrosion, fire hazard, earthquake, impaction, and structural function change etc.
With the new materials used in the civil engineering, new ductility indices should be proposed to quantify ductility of new structural member based on the enough experimental results.

Mesoscale Modeling of Nonlinear Influence of Ambient Relative Humidity on Drying Shrinkage of Concrete HAVLÁSEK Petr1,a,∗, JIRÁSEK Milan1,b 1Department of Mechanics, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague, Thákurova 7, 166 29 Prague 6, Czech Republic apetr.havlasek@fsv.cvut.cz, bmilan.jirasek@fsv.cvut.cz Keywords: Shrinkage; Creep; Concrete; Modeling; Finite Elements.
Introduction In civil engineering practice, the average time-dependent behavior of concrete, such as creep and shrinkage, is usually predicted using the models from the design codes e.g. fib Model Code 2010 [1], ACI 209 [2], JSCE [3] or the academic models e.g.

Although there are many examples of the use of SMAs in civil engineering and buildings, however, there are only a few cases of the application of SMAs to CFDT beams, and few studies on this have been conducted [9,10].
