“…For shear stress transfer in the UHPFRC after the occurrence of tensile cracks, the progressive reduction in shear stiffness with an increase of tensile strain is considered in the current model (Fairbairn et al, 2006). A shear retention factor λ which is a function of the maximum tensile strain ε tmax is introduced in the analysis.…”

In this study, an orthotropic steel bridge deck overlaid with ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) is investigated using the finite element analysis. The composite bridge deck which is undergone moving-wheel load is examined under environmental surface water conditions. Two phases, i.e., Phases 1 and 2, are considered for the material model of the UHPFRC with stagnant water. In Phase 1, mechanical recoveries of the tensile strength and reloading stiffness are considered for the cracked UHPFRC caused by the autogenous self-healing behavior. In Phase 2, under the moving-wheel load, the crack bridging stress degradation in reinforced overlayer accelerates due to the closing–opening actions of surface cracks in water. In both phases, the deformation behaviors of the steel deck plate and UHPFRC overlayer are numerically examined. The results of the current numerical model agree with the experimental data in terms of the strain tendency, wherein the strain range of the steel deck plate and UHPFRC overlayer decreases in Phase 1 and progressively increases in Phase 2. Therefore, it can be asserted that, under the surface water condition, scenarios considering two phases of the material model of cracked UHPFRC, have governed the strain behaviors of the tested composite bridge deck.

“…Most investigators have focused on the behaviour of a notched beam under a three-points bending load, whereas an inverse analysis with FRC panels is very scarce in the literature. In this context, some investigators have tried to perform inverse analysis for panels, where the softening curves are obtained point by point based on a significant number of non-linear finite element analyses by using some in house or commercial software [6,7]. However, this alternative is not straightforward as the complete softening curve cannot be http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2015.06.049 0950-0618/Ó 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.…”

This paper presents the experimental results obtained with the non-contact three-dimensional deformation measuring system–ARAMIS and finite element analysis performed using ANSYS of three slabs made of high-performance concrete (HPC) and hybrid (steel/ST and polypropylene/PP) fibre reinforced high-performance concrete (FRHPC). The research was performed on reinforced concrete (RC) slabs with a web mesh of ϕ8 mm bars. All the slabs had an identical amount of steel bars and differed by the fibre volume content. The main objective of the research was to determine the impact of adding polypropylene and steel fibres on the carrying capacity and ductility of HPC slabs. Analysis of the results was conducted based on load–deflection curves, crack distribution, vertical displacements and strains. The research findings indicate that fibres may improve peak strength. The presence of PP and ST hybrid fibres in HPC restricted the propagation of cracks. The energy absorption capacity as well as the ductility index of HPC can be raised by adding hybrid fibres. A comparison of the experimental test results with the nonlinear finite element analysis is made. The numerical results concurred well with the experimental data. The research results indicate that non-contact measurement of deformation is an effective tool for monitoring crushing in FRHPC slabs.
