Full textGelžbetonis yra kompozitinė medžiaga, kurios komponentai yra betonas ir plieninė armatūra. Kaip žinoma, betono stipris tempiant yra 10-20 kartų mažesnis nei stipris gniuždant. Atrodytų, kad tempiamojo betono įtaka, atlaikant įrąžas skerspjūvyje, yra nereikšminga. Iš tiesų, nustatant lenkiamųjų elementų stiprumą normaliniame pjūvyje, tempiamo betono įtempių galima nevertinti. Kita vertus, skaičiuojant įlinkius, neįvertinus tempiamojo betono įtakos, gali būti daroma didesnė nei 100 % paklaida. Adekvatus supleišėjusio tempiamojo betono įtakos įvertinimas, nustatant trumpalaike apkrova veikiamų gelžbetoninių elementų deformacijas, yra bene svarbiausia ir sudėtingiausia problema. Plyšio vietoje betonas negali atlaikyti tempimo įtempių, todėl visą įrąžą atlaiko armatūra. Kadangi plyšyje ir gretimuose pjūviuose armatūra praslysta betono atžvilgiu, kontakto zonoje atsiranda tangentiniai įtempiai. Šie įtempiai perduodami betonui, todėl jis atlaiko tempimo įtempius. Armatūros ir betono sąveika ruožuose tarp plyšių standina gelžbetoninį elementą. Supleišėjusio betono gebėjimas atlaikyti tempimo įtempius vadinama tempimo sustandėjimu (angl. tension stiffening). Šis efektas dažniausiai modeliuojamas supleišėjusio betono įtempių ir deformacijų diagrama, taikant vidutinių plyšių koncepciją. Tuomet neatsižvelgiama į diskrečius plyšius, o supleišėjęs betonas traktuojamas kaip ortotropinė medžiaga su pakitusiomis savybėmis. Dauguma tempimo sustandėjimo modelių įvertina betono įtempių...

Full textFourteen simply supported concrete beams were cast and subjected to two third point concentrated loads, increased monotonically until failure. The strength, strain and crack development data were recorded to assess the corrosion rate and its effect on the steel bars.
An electrochemical system was used to achieve the different corrosion levels. The specimens were immersed in a 5 percent of sodium chloride by weight of water for a period of one to thirty weeks. An initial voltage of 1 volt was impressed through the beams to initiate and to accelerate the corrosion process. A steel plate was immersed in the solution to act as a cathode and force the steel reinforced concrete beam to act as an anode.
The report discusses the defects and environmental factors influencing the corrosion process. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

O presente trabalho contém a formulação, implementação e teste de um modelo para determinação do traçado ótimo de cabos de protensão, bem como do valor da força de protensão mínima correspondente, em vigas isotáticas e hiperestáticas. Na formulação, será considerado que o cabo de protensão possui um desenvolvimento segmentado em parábolas do segundo grau, onde o comprimento dessas parábolas serão pré- estabelecidos. Serão feitas ainda simplificações em relação à força de protensão e às perdas de protensão. Com a introdução de tais simplificações e com um artifício de mudança de variáveis, estaremos diante de um problema de programação linear, onde as incógnitas do problema serão a força de protensão e os coeficientes dos trechos de parábolas que representam a geometria do cabo. O objetivo desse problema de programação linear, será minimizar o custo da protensão, de forma que algumas restrições, previamente estabelecidas, sejam atendidas. Tais restrições, limitarão a geometria do cabo, uma vez que o mesmo deve ser contínuo, representado por curvas suaves, e estar contido dentro da viga, e limitarão as tensões nos bordos extremos da viga de forma que as Normas Brasileiras NBR 8681, NBR 7197 e NBR 7187 sejam atendidas. Serão considerados diversos casos de carga e as seções de estudo serão pré-definidas. Como resultado do projeto teremos o traçado ótimo de um cabo médio, e a força de protensão mínima P0, onde já estarão incluídas as perdas imediatas. A implementação da formulação foi desenvolvida em linguagem C, padrão ANSI, o que garante que o mesmo código possa ser compilado em computadores diferentes e por compiladores diferentes, facilitando a portabilidade do programa. Para a otimização, foi utilizado o programa comercial LINDO- Linear Interactive and Discrete Optimizer, que permite uma interação com o usuário, é prático e de grande eficiência. Serão testados e analisados quatro exemplos, variando em sua complexidade. Das quatro vigas testadas, uma foi apresentada por Calçada (1993) em seu artigo "Traçado Óptimo de Cabos de Pré-esforço em Pórticos", e as outras três foram projetadas por engenheiros em escritórios de cálculo estrutural. As duas soluções de projeto, a dada pelo programa e a obtida pelos escritórios, são comparadas de modo a validar tanto a formulação como o programa implementado.
This work is concerned with the formulation, implementation and test of a model for determination of the minimum prestressing force and the optimum tendon profile, to prestressed isostatics and hiperestatics beams. It will be considered in formulation, that the prestressing cable has a development segmented in second grade parabolas, in which the length of each one will be predetermined. In addition, simplifications will be considered with regard to the prestressing force and the prestressing losses. With these assumptions and an artifice of variables change, linear programming problem will be obtained, where the variables will be the prestressing force and the parabolas coefficients that represent the cable geometry. The objective of this linear programming problem will be to minimize the prestressing cost, based on some constraints. These constraints will limit the cable geometry, since this one has to be continue, represented for smooth curves and to be inside of the beam, and will limit the stresses at the top and at the bottom fibers of each studied sections according to Brazilian Codes NBR 8681, NBR 7197 e NBR 7187. Different loads cases will be considered and the studied sections will be predetermined. As project result, we will have an optimum tendon medium profile and the minimum prestressing force P0, where the immediate losses will be included. The formulation implementation was developed in "C" language, ANSI standard, which guarantees that the same code can be compiled in different computers and for different compilers, making the program portability easy. For optimization, the commercial program LINDO- Linear Interactive and Discrete Optimizer was used, which allows interaction with the user, is practical and very efficient. Four examples with different complexity will be tested and studied. From four beams tested, one was presented by Calçada (1993) in his paper "Traçado Óptimo de Cabos de Pré-esforço em Pórticos", and the other ones were designed by engineers in structural design offices. The two design solutions, the one given by the program and the other obtained by the offices, are compared in order to validate both the formulation and the program implemented.

Fabric forms and prestressing are both technologies for concrete structures that allow for less material to do more work. This thesis seeks to assess the feasibility and performance of fabric formed, prestressed beams with a keyhole cross-section, while varying parameters such as concrete strength, loading, beam depth, and prestressing force. They are designed for flexure via a sectional method, starting with the critical midspan section, and each section is iterated in an effort to minimize the beam weight. Beam strength and deflections are determined and once met, they are compared to more traditional prestress designs. Such beams are found to be governed primarily by strength criteria, as deflections are found to be minimal. These fabric formed beams can use nearly an identical amount of material as conventional I-beams with a constant cross-section, while requiring a higher prestressing force. Prestressed fabric formed beams are less efficient than an I-beam section, but should not be discounted as a viable element, because of their aesthetic appeal and further potential for optimization.

The topic of fabric formwork has emerged as a response to the rising need for material efficient designs that also incorporate attractive aesthetic and construction related features. The thesis approaches the topic of the optimization of the design of fabric formed concrete beams. The thesis proposes two methods: an analytical optimization method and a feasible region method. The optimum design of fabric formed reinforced concrete beams is discussed first and a sample output of the optimum design based on minimizing the cost of a cross-section is produced. A relatively direct design process based on simple polynomials is established that can conveniently guide designers to produce optimal designs. Based on sample results, savings of up to 55% in material cost could be accomplished using fabric formed beams. The subject of pre-stressed fabric formed beams is then approached using the two methods. Certain additional complexities are explained and some simplifications are done in order to arrive at an optimum design using the feasible region method.
