CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICOEste trabalho tem como objetivo estudar a resistência de um sistema de ancoragem composto de pinos com cabeça embutidos no concreto, quando submetidos a cargas de impacto. A variável adotada foi a taxa de carregamento cujos valores mínimo e máximo foram 0,015 kN/s (estático) e 54.885 kN/s, respectivamente. O sistema de ancoragem foi projetado de forma que a ruptura fosse governada pelo arrancamento do cone de ruptura. Foram ensaiados onze blocos de concreto com um pino embutido no concreto, sujeitos a diferentes taxas de aplicação de carga. Foram também ensaiados quinze corpos-de-prova de concreto à compressão diametral e nove pinos à tração, também sujeitos a diferentes taxas de aplicação de carga. O objetivo desses ensaios foi verificar a influência da taxa de carregamento sobre as resistências dos materiais - concreto e aço - que participam do sistema de ancoragem. Os resultados mostraram que a área da superfície e a inclinação do cone de ruptura não sofrem grandes alterações. A carga de ruptura do cone de concreto cresce com a taxa de carregamento, e que esse crescimento pode ser descrito por uma função logarítmica. O mesmo foi observado para a resistência à tração do concreto por compressão diametral e para os pinos.
This work investigates the strength of a concrete anchor system constituted of headed studs embedded in concrete subjected to impact tension load. The main variable was the loading rate which varied from a minimum of 0,015 kN/s (static) to a maximum of 54885 kN/s. The anchor system was designed so that the failure was governed by concrete cone breakout. Eleven concrete blocks with a single headed stud were tested under different loading rates. In addition, fifteen concrete cylinders subjected to compression along a diameter (split cylinder test) and nine headed studs subjected to tension were tested under different loading rates in order to investigate the effects of the loading rate on the strength of concrete and steel separately. The results showed that the area and the angle of the concrete cone were not affected by the loading rate. The failure load of the concrete cone increases as the loading rate increases and this phenomenon can be described by a logarithmic function. The concrete split tensile strength and the steel tensile strength also increase as the loading rate increases.

Placas de ancoragem embutidas em concreto são empregadas, geralmente, com a finalidade de permitir a fixação de elementos para a introdução de cargas concentradas nas estruturas de concreto, bem como viabilizar as ligações estruturais entre componentes pré-fabricados. As placas são ancoradas no concreto através de pinos soldados a elas. Estas placas são bastante empregadas em estruturas de usinas nucleares onde um grande número de equipamentos e tubulações são apoiados na estrutura de concreto. A pesquisa é de natureza experimental e tem como objetivo investigar a redução da resistência à tração de placas de ancoragem com grupo de chumbadores, placas instaladas com pequena distância dos bordos do elemento de concreto, e também de duas placas adjacentes, devido a interferência de seus cones de ruptura. A eficiência de uma armadura de suspensão (que transmite a carga além do cone de ruptura), também é verificada. Os resultados experimentais sugerem uma notável redução da resistência à tração para placas com grupo de chumbadores, e que o uso da armadura de suspensão para placa instalada nas proximidades do bordo do elemento de concreto não é muito eficiente. A armadura de suspensão apresentou um bom rendimento quando foi empregada em placas com grupo de chumbadores. Os resultados teóricos obtidos através de equações desenvolvidas para estimativa da carga de ruptura, apresentaram, de maneira geral, uma boa aproximação quando comparados com os resultados experimentais.
Anchorage plates embedded in concrete are used with the purpose of allowing the fixation of elements for the introduction of concentrated loads into concrete structures, as well as to make possible the structural connections between prefabricated components. The plates are anchored in the concrete through studs welded to them. These plates are used in structures of nuclear power stations where a great number of equipments and pipings are fixed in the concrete structure. The research is of experimental nature and its objective is to investigate the reduction of the tensile strength of multiple studs group, anchorage plates located close to a free edge, and also of two adjacent plates, due to interference of failure concrete cones. The efficiency of an additional reinforcement (that transfers the load beyond the concrete cone), is also addressed. The experimental results suggest a significant reduction of the tensile strength for plates with studs group, and that the use of the additional reinforcement for anchorage plates located close to a free edge is not too efficient. The additional reinforcement presented a good efficiency when it was used in plates with studs group. The theoretical results obtained from equations developed to estimate the concrete failure load show, in a general way, a good agreement with the experimental results.

The primary aim of this research was to develop a method for determining the true uniaxial tensile strength of concrete by conducting a series of cylinder splitting, modulus of rupture (MOR) and cylinder/cube compression tests. The main objectives were: • Critically reviewing previous published research in order to identify gaps in current knowledge and understanding, including theoretical and methodological contributions to the true uniaxial tensile strength of concrete. In order to maintain consistency and increase the reliability of the proposed methods, it is essential to review the literature to provide additional data points in order to add additional depth, breathe and rigor to Senussi's investigation (2004). • The design of self compacting concrete (SCC), normal strength concrete (NSC) and high strength concrete (HSC) mixes and undertaking lab-based experimental works for mixing, casting, curing and testing of specimens in order to establish new empirical evidence and data. • Analysing the data, presenting the results, and investigating the application of validity methods as stated by Lin and Raoof (1999) and Senussi (2004). • To draw conclusions including comparison with previous research and literature, including the proposal of new correction factors and recommendations for future research. 29 batches of NSC, 137 batches of HSC, 44 batches of fly ash SCC and 47 batches of GGBS SCC were cast and their hardened and fresh properties were measured. Hardened properties measured included: cylinder splitting strength, MOR, cylinder compressive strength and cube compressive strength. A variety of rheological tests were also applied to characterise the fresh properties of the SCC mixes, including: slump flow, T50, L-box, V-funnel, J-ring and sieve stability. Cylinders were also visually checked after splitting for segregation. The tensile strength of concrete has traditionally been expressed in terms of its compressive strength (e.g. ft = c x c f ). Based on this premise, extensive laboratory testing was conducted to evaluate the tensile strength of the concretes, including the direct tension test and the indirect cylinder splitting and MOR tests. These tests however, do not provide sufficiently accurate results for the true uniaxial tensile strength, due to the results being based upon different test methods. This shortcoming has been overcome by recently developed methods reported by Lin and Raoof (1999) and Senussi (2004) who proposed simple correction factors for the application to the cylinder splitting and MOR test results, with the final outcome providing practically reasonable estimates of the true uniaxial tensile strength of concrete, covering a wide range of concrete compressive strengths 12.57 ≤ fc ≤ 93.82 MPa, as well as a wide range of aggregate types. The current investigation has covered a wide range of ages at testing, from 3 to 91 days. Test data from other sources has also been applied for ages up to 365 days, with the test results reported relating to a variety of mix designs. NSC, SCC and HSC data from the current investigation has shown an encouraging correlation with the previously reported results, hence providing additional wider and deeper empirical evidence for the validity of the recommended correction factors. The results have also demonstrated that the type (size, texture and strength) of aggregate has a negligible effect on the recommended correction factors. The concrete age at testing was demonstrated to have a potentially significant effect on the recommended correction factors. Altering the cement type can also have a significant effect on the hardened properties measured and demonstrated practically noticeable variations on the recommended correction factors. The correction factors proved to be valid regarding the effects of incorporating various blended cements in the HSC and SCC. The NSC, HSC and SCC showed an encouraging correlation with previously reported results, providing additional support, depth, breadth and rigor for the validity of the correction factors recommended.

Full textAbstract:
Currently, NCHRP Report 356 has published an equation to estimate the ultimate strength of the
local zone in normal weight concrete. The local zone is the area of concrete directly ahead of the
bearing plate. The equation can be broken into two distinct parts: unconfined bearing strength of
concrete enhanced by the A/Ab ratio and the enhancement of strength due to the presence of
confining. Research has shown that the strength enhancement of the A/Ab ratio and confining
reinforcing is less in lightweight concrete than in normal weight concrete.
To determine the strength of the local zone in lightweight concrete 30 reinforced prisms, 2
unreinforced prisms, and concrete cylinders were tested. The dimensions of the prisms were 8
in. x 8 in. x 16 in. and the cylinders were 4 in. x 8 in. cylinders. The simulated reinforcing in the
prisms extended only through the top 8 in. of the prism and consisted of either ties or spirals with
different spacing or pitch, respectively. To determine the effect of the A/Ab ratio for each
spacing or pitch arrangement of the reinforcing, one of two different size bearing plates were
used.
From the testing performed in this research and other research, it is apparent that the NCHRP
equation is unconservative when estimating the ultimate strength of the local zone in lightweight
concrete. By modifying both parts of the NCHRP equation it is possible to conservatively
predict the ultimate strength of the local zone in lightweight concrete.
Also investigated in this thesis are equations to predict the splitting cylinder strength and
modulus of elasticity of lightweight concrete. For a sand-lightweight concrete, as defined by
ACI 318-05 Building code and Commentary, the splitting tensile strength can be accurately
predicted by multiplying the square root of the compressive strength by 5.7.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
The brittleness of concrete has always been a safety and economic issue of great concern. The low tensile strength of concrete is the cause of its intrinsic brittle nature. This is critical considering the amount of concrete used for the construction of highways, buildings, and other facilities. The mechanical properties of concrete must be improved to provide upgraded construction. Crack resistant and durable concrete has always been a major goal for engineers. Many approaches have been tried to make concrete a better construction material. Fiber reinforcement is an approach which has been shown to improve the quality and durability of concrete. The focus of this research is to develop a mix design of fiber reinforced concrete and then test these materials for both compressive and tensile strength after casting into cubes. The effect of polyvinyl alcohol fibers on the mechanical properties of concrete was also studied. The impacts of moisture and the stress applied on the fibers were determined using Raman spectroscopy.

Since a large part of the hydropower structures in Sweden was built in the 1950s and 1960s, many of them are slowly but surely exhibiting deterioration. The hydropower companies are facing big challenges and are consequently investing in effective repairing methods since a hydropower structure failure could pose serious consequences and dangers to people, the environment, and the community. Many structures within hydropower are made of concrete and the demands on the new supplementing concrete are high. Concrete with the potential to meet these high demands is the pre-placed aggregate concrete, which has shown promising results regarding its mechanical properties in previous studies. For this reason, this type of concrete is of interest to investigate. The focus has not been on optimizing the pre-placed aggregate concrete for full-scale productions. Instead, the main objectives of this master thesis were to study and analyze the mechanical properties of this type of concrete, such as shrinkage, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, freeze-thaw resistance and moreover investigate parameters of importance in the mix design to obtain a homogenous and easy flowing grout that successfully could fill the voids between the coarse aggregates. The investigations were carried out by laboratory experiments in the research and laboratory facilities of Vattenfall in Älvkarleby. The mix design of the grout was developed using the methods and requirements stated in the American Society for Testing and Materials, ASTM standards, and The Swedish Institute for Standards, SiS. A total of 15 grout-mixes were made. However, only the last five were used to cast specimens as the air content was insufficient in the first ten. The results indicated that it is necessary to replace the air-entraining admixture with microspheres in order for the pre-placed aggregate concrete to meet the requirements in exposure class XF3 and XC4. The scaling of the pre-placed aggregate concrete was less than 0.1 kg/m2 at 56 cycles, and thus, the freeze-thaw resistance was classed as very good. Moreover, the use of slag considerably reduced the bleeding of the grout and also improved the casting results. However, on the other hand, it increased the shrinkage of the pre-placed aggregate concrete. An efficiency factor of 0.6 proved to be too low since the compressive strength of the specimen with slag was approximately 50 % higher than the ones without. Furthermore, the shrinkage of the pre-placed aggregate concrete was after 63 days found to be lower than that of the conventional concrete. Also, the compressive strength of the pre-placed aggregate concrete without slag proved to be approximately 15 % lower than that of conventional concrete. Additionally, vibration during casting was found to increase the compressive strength of the pre-placed aggregate concrete and also improved the casting results. Low bleeding, combined with a high discharge time of approximately 45 seconds for 1.7 liters of grout, generated the best casting results. The results from the investigations have shown that this type of concrete has great potential. However, actions and further investigations should be made to see whether changing the fine aggregate size to a smaller one improves the ability of the grout to penetrate the voids between the coarse aggregates. Moreover, pump injection of the grout should be tested instead of pouring it over the coarse aggregates to see whether it improves the casting results and the mechanical properties.Då en stor del av vattenkraftsdammarna i Sverige byggdes på 1950 och 1960-talet börjar många av dessa sakta men säkert brytas ner. Vattenkraftföretagen står inför stora utmaningar och investerar följaktligen i effektiva reparationsmetoder då dammbrott skulle kunna få allvarliga konsekvenser för människor, den omgivande miljön och för samhället. Flertalet konstruktioner inom vattenkraften är gjorda av betong och kraven på den nya kompletterande betongen är höga. En betong med potentialen att möta och uppfylla dessa höga krav är injekteringsbetongen som i tidigare studier uppvisat lovande resultat beträffande dess mekaniska egenskaper. Med anledning av detta är injekteringsbetongen av intresse att undersöka. Fokus har inte varit på att optimera injekteringsbetongen i syfte att genomföra fullskaliga försök. Istället har huvudsyftet med detta examensarbete varit att studera och analysera injekteringsbetongens mekaniska egenskaper såsom krympning, tryckhållfasthet, spräckhållfasthet, frostbeständighet samt undersöka viktiga parametrar i skapandet av ett homogent och lättflytande cementbruk som med god framgång kunde fylla ut hålrummen mellan grova ballasten. Undersökningarna utfördes genom laboratorieförsök på Vattenfalls betonglaboratorium i Älvkarleby. Vidare har skapandet och utvecklandet av bruket utförts i enlighet med metoder och krav angivna i American Society for Testing and Materials, ASTM standards, samt i Svenska institutet för Standarder, SiS. Totalt gjordes 15 bruksblandningar, dock användes enbart de sista fem till gjutning av provkroppar då lufthalten visade sig vara för låg i dem första tio. Resultaten indikerade på att det är nödvändigt att ersätta luftporbildare med mikrosfärer för att erhålla en lufthalt som uppfyller kraven för betong i exponeringsklass XF3 samt XC4. Injekteringbetongens avflagning efter 56 dygn var mindre än 0.1 kg/m2 och frostbeständigheten kunde därmed klassas som mycket god. Användningen av slagg minskade cementbrukets vattenseparation avsevärt och bidrog även till förbättrade gjutresultat. Dock bidrog det å andra sidan till en ökad krympning hos injekteringsbetongen. En effektivitetsfaktor på 0.6 visade sig vara för låg då injekteringsbetongen med slagg hade en cirka 50 % högre tryckhållfasthet än dem utan. Dessutom visade sig injekteringsbetongens krympning vara mindre än den konventionella betongens efter 63 dagar. Tryckhållfastheten hos injekteringsbetongen utan slagg uppvisade även en cirka 15 % lägre tryckhållfasthet än den konventionella betongens. Vibrering under gjutning visade sig höja tryckhållfastheten hos injekteringsbetongen samt förbättra gjutresultaten. En låg vattenseparation i kombination med en flödestid på cirka 45 sekunder för 1.7 liter bruk visade sig ge bästa gjutresultaten. Resultaten från laboratorieförsöken har visat på att injekteringsbetongen besitter stor potential. Dock bör ytterligare undersökningar genomföras för att bedöma huruvida en mindre ballastfraktion för sanden påverkar brukets förmåga att penetrera den grova ballasten. Vidare bör bruket pumpas in istället för att hällas över den grova ballasten, detta för att se huruvida gjutresultaten samt de mekaniska egenskaperna hos injekteringsbetongen skulle förbättras.

Full textAbstract:
Steel hollow section members filled with concrete have been frequently used in recent construction industry as columns and beams and beam-columns because of their superior performance and constructability. Previous research demonstrated that such system has large energy absorption capacity which is critical in the event of an earthquake. By filling steel RHS with concrete, the failure of the steel shell due to local buckling can be delayed and the ductility of the concrete core can be improved as a result of the confinement of the steel shell. This type of composite section may be used in various structures including frames of high rise buildings, bridges, offshore structures, cast-in-situ piles in foundation etc. Design methods for concrete-filled steel tubular sections are recommended in a number of code of practices. Due to the significant differences in the material properties between normal strength concrete and high strength concrete, there is a need to study the behaviour of composite sections with higher strength concretes. The study emphasises ultimate strength, ductility, post-failure strength reserve and interface bond. It also emphasises ductility and post-failure strength of the composite beams due to the brittle behaviour of higher strength concretes when compared to normal strength concrete. Spreadsheet graph were used to present the results such as load versus strains, load versus deflections etc. In this thesis analytical study is presented on the calculation of ultimate moment of resistance of the concrete-filled RHS beams. Among the main considerations of the derivation, the steel portion was assumed either elastic-perfectly plastic or perfectly plastic and concrete carries no strength in the tensile zone. At the interface both full bond and partial bond were assumed for comparison. Efforts were also made to calculate the midspan deflections of the composite beams. Simple analytical expressions derived from this study can be coded to a prgrammable calculator or in a small spreadsheet program for design use. Finite element studies were carried out by using a proprietorship software package ANSYS. In the analysis of concrete-filled, three types of elements with large deformation and nonlinear capabilities were used. A plastic shell element, a solid concrete element with cracking and crushing capabilities, and a nonlinear spring contact element were used to model the steel shell, the concrete core and the interface respectively.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Full textAbstract:
Failure criteria play a vital role in the numerical analysis of reinforced concrete structures. The current failure criteria can be classified into two types, namely the empirical and theoretical failure criteria. Empirical failure criteria normally lack reasonable theoretical backgrounds, while theoretical ones either involve too many parameters or ignore the effects of intermediate principal stress on the concrete strength. Based on the octahedral shear stress model and the concrete tensile strength under the state of triaxial and uniaxial stress, a new failure criterion, that is, the simplified unified strength theory (UST), is developed by simplifiing the five-parameter UST for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures. According to the simplified UST failure criterion, the concrete strength is influenced by the maximum and intermediate principal shear stresses together with the corresponding normal stresses. Moreover, the effect of hydrostatic pressure on the concrete strength is also taken into account. The failure criterion involves three concrete strengths, namely the uniaxial tensile and compressive strengths and the equal biaxial compressive strength. In the numerical analysis, a degenerated shell element with the layered approach is adopted for the simulation of concrete structures. In the layered approach, concrete is divided into several layers over the thickness of the elements and reinforcing steel is smeared into the corresponding number of layers of equivalent thickness. In each concrete layer, three-dimensional stresses are calculated at the integration points. For the material modelling, concrete is treated as isotropic material until cracking occurs. Cracked concrete is treated as an orthotropic material incorporating tension stiffening and the reduction of cracked shear stiffness. Meanwhile, the smeared craclc model is employed. The bending reinforcements and the stirrups are simulated using a trilinear material model. To verify the correctness of the simplified UST failure criterion, comparisons are made with concrete triaxial empirical results as well as with the Kupfer and the Ottosen failure criteria. Finally, the proposed failure criterion is used for the flexural analysis of simply supported reinforced concrete beams. Also conducted are the punching shear analyses of single- and multi-column-slab connections and of half-scale flat plate models. In view of its accuracy and capabilities, the simplified UST failure criterion may be used to analyse beam- and slab-type reinforced concrete structures.

Full textAbstract:
Reinforced concrete members, especially when subjected to concentrated loads, can fail in shear. This is an undesirable and brittle failure mode preventing the structure from deforming and reaching higher load levels. It is therefore important to investigate and understand the nature of shear failures in RC beams and slabs, which are typically not provided with shear reinforcement. Despite the exhaustive research work carried out since the beginning of the XXth century, the shear behavior of reinforced concrete elements is still not fully clear. The complex kinematics and the different contribution of the widely accepted shear resisting actions, which depend, among other parameters, on the load level and the geometry of the specimens, are part of those uncertainties that have provoked the lack of consensus that currently exist around the shear problem in structural engineering.
In this context, this thesis focuses on the shear behavior of reinforced concrete slabs without shear reinforcement subjected to point loads. On the one hand, part of the work carried out during this investigation deals with shear in one way slabs supported on linear supports. Thanks to the experimental work conducted in the last two decades, a significant database of test results is now available, which has allowed to develop and verify a new mechanical model to predict the shear strength of RC one-way slabs without shear reinforcement. It takes into account a significant number of variables involved in the phenomenon and is applicable to is applicable to simply supported slabs, cantilever slabs and situations with partial restraint to the rotation. The model is divided into two sub-models. One for loads applied close to supports, where the direct transmission of the load to the support plays an important role in the shear strength and a second one for loads applied away from supports where the possibility of a shear failure is assumed to coexist with the possibility of a local punching failure.
On the other hand, the second part of the investigation deals with the shear behavior of reinforced concrete slabs subjected to the simultaneous action of in plane tensile stresses and out-of-plane point loads. This load case has not been exhaustively studied throughout the years, and in order to contribute to gain insight into this aspects of shear design, the mechanical model recently developed at UPC for the prediction of the punching-shear strength of two-way slabs has been extended to the case of simultaneous in-plane tensile forces. A set of experimental test for the validation of the model for the particular case of uniaxial in-plane tension is also presented. In addition to that, the particular case of one-way simply supported slabs subjected to transverse tensile stresses has also been experimentally studied. This is a seldom studied load case and the conducted set of test will help to understand the overall behavior of these elements under this particular loading condition.Los elementos de hormigón armado, especialmente cuando están sometidos a la acción de cargas puntuales, pueden alcanzar su resistencia última a esfuerzo cortante, lo cual limita su capacidad para deformarse y resistir valores de carga mayores. Este es un modo de fallo frágil y repentino, por lo que debe ser evitado. Así pues, es importante seguir investigando y comprender la naturaleza de la respuesta de vigas y losas de hormigón armado ante solicitaciones de este tipo, sobre todo cuando no están provistas de armadura de cortante. A pesar de la gran cantidad de campañas experimentales llevadas a cabo desde principios del siglo XX, el comportamiento a cortante y punzonamiento de los elementos estructurales de hormigón armado no está todavía del todo claro. La compleja cinemática y la diferente contribución de los mecanismos resistentes ampliamente aceptados, la cual depende, entre otros factores, del nivel de carga y de la geometría de los especímenes, son parte de esas incertidumbres que han provocado la falta de consenso que existe actualmente dentro del campo de la ingeniería estructural. En este contexto, esta tesis se centra en el comportamiento a cortante de losas de hormigón armado sin armadura de cortante sometidas a la acción de cargas puntuales. Por un lado, parte del trabajo realizado durante esta investigación está orientado al cortante en losas unidireccionales apoyadas sobre apoyos lineales. Gracias a todas las campañas experimentales realizadas en las últimas dos décadas, una significativa base de datos de resultados experimentales se encuentra disponible en la literatura, lo que ha permitido desarrollar y verificar un nuevo modelo mecánico para predecir la resistencia última a cortante de este tipo de elementos. Dicho modelo tiene en cuenta un número importante de variables involucradas en el fenómeno y es aplicable a losas simplemente apoyadas, en ménsula, y apoyadas en apoyos con restricción parcial al giro. El modelo se ha dividido en dos sub-modelos para facilitar su desarrollo. Uno para cargas aplicadas cerca de los apoyos, donde la transmisión directa de la carga al apoyo juega un papel importante, y un segundo para cargas aplicadas lejos de los apoyos, en donde se asume que la posibilidad del fallo por cortante coexiste con la posibilidad de un fallo local por punzonamiento. Por otro lado, la segunda parte de la investigación está focalizada en el comportamiento a cortante de losas de hormigón armado sometidas simultáneamente a la acción de cargas puntuales y tracciones en su plano. Este caso de carga no ha sido demasiado investigado a lo largo de las últimas décadas, y con la intención de contribuir a comprender esta compleja interacción, el modelo mecánico recientemente desarrollado en la UPC, para la predicción de la resistencia a punzonamiento en losas bidireccionales, ha sido extendido a este caso particular de cargas y validado con los resultados de campañas experimentales disponibles en la literatura y el conjunto de ensayos realizados como parte de esta investigación para el caso particular de tracciones unidireccionales. Adicionalmente, el efecto de las tracciones transversales en el plano en la resistencia a cortante de losas unidireccionales también ha sido estudiado experimentalmente. Esta combinación de cargas no ha sido apenas investigada y un nuevo grupo de ensayos experimentales puede contribuir a comprender el comportamiento global de este tipo de elementos ante este caso particular de carga.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays, thin-walled load bearing structures can be realised using textile reinforced concrete (BRAMESHUBER and RILEM TC 201-TRC [1]). The required tensile strength is achieved by embedding several layers of textile. By means of the laminating technique the number of textile layers that can be included into the concrete could be increased. To further increase the first crack stress and the ductility as well as to optimize the crack development, fine grained concrete mixes with short fibres can be used. By a schematic stress-strain curve the demands on short fibres are defined. Within the scope of this study, short fibres made of glass, carbon, aramid and polyvinyl alcohol are investigated in terms of their ability to fit these requirements. On the basis of these results, the development of hybrid fibre mixes to achieve the best mechanical properties is described. Additionally, a conventional FRC with one fibre type is introduced. Finally, the fresh and hardened concrete properties as well as the influence of short fibres on the load bearing behaviour of textile reinforced concrete are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Steel fibre reinforced concrete is not a novel concept, it has been around since the mid-1900s, but despite its great success in shotcrete-reinforced rock walls and industrial floors it has not made any impact on either beams or elevated slab. Apparently, the absence of standards is the main reason. However, the combination of steel fibre reinforced concrete and conventional reinforcement has in many researches shown to emphasize good bearing capacrty. In this thesis, two punching shear capacity models have been analysed and adapted on 136 test slabs perfomred by previous researchers. The first punching model altemative is proposed in DAfStB - BetonKalender 201l, and the second punching model alternative is established in Swedish Concrete Association - Report No. 4 1994. Due to missing information of the experimental measured residual tensile strength, a theoretical residual tensile strength was estimated in two different manners to be able to adapt the DAfStB punching model altemative on the refereed test slabs. The first solution is an derivation of a suggestion made by Silfiverbrand (2000) and the second solution is drawn from a proposal made by Choi etal. (2007). The result indicates that the SCA punching model alternative is easier to adapt and provides the most representative result. Also DAfStb altemative with the second solution of estimating the residual strength contributes to arbitrary result, however due to the uncertainty of the estimation of the residual tensile strength, the SCA punching model is recommended to be applied until further investigation can confirm the accuracy of the DAfStB alternative with experimentally obtained residual tensile strength.

Full textAbstract:
Compared with most construction materials, concrete is considered as a brittle material, and its brittleness increases with the compressive strength. For super-high-strength concrete, failure can be sudden, explosive and disastrous. Also the tensile strength is not proportionally increased. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out research on the brittleness of concrete in order to establish parameters for assessing the brittleness, find ways to improve the brittleness and tensile strength, and eventually design and manufacture concrete materials with high strength and low brittleness. In this study, strengthening and toughening effects of polymer materials on the high performance concrete (HPC) were investigated. The HPC was manufactured using ordinary Class 52.5 N Portland cement, silica fume and superplasticizer. The adopted polymers included the styrene-butadiene-rubber (SBR) latex, polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) with contents of 1.5%, 3% and 5% in weight of cement content. The measured material and fracture properties included compressive and tensile strengths, modulus of rupture, Young's modulus, fracture energy, fracture toughness and brittleness. The test results at 28 days indicate that the addition of 1.5% and 3% SBR, PVDC, LLDPE and HDPE into the HPC could largely improve the compressive strength by up to 15.7%, while the addition of 5% SBR, LLDPE and HDPE did not show any enhancement except for 5% PVDC which increased the compressive strength by 10.9%. The tensile strength was considerably increased for all dosages of polymers, with the maximum increases of 72.7% and 83.2% for 3% SBR and 1.5% LLDPE, respectively. The fracture energy were also enhanced by adding 1.5% SBR and all dosages of LLDPE, with a maximum increase of 24.3%, while there were no indications of enhancement for other dosages of polymers. The modulus of rupture, fracture toughness and Young's modulus were not improved for lower dosages of polymers but slightly decreased for higher dosages. The brittleness decreased monotonically with increasing amount of LLDPE, but it increased with increasing amounts of SBR, PVDC and HDPE.

While the increase in shear strength of Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) is well recognized, it has yet to be found common application of this material in building structures and there is no existing national standard that treats SFRC in a systematic manner. The aim of the diploma work is to investigate the shear strength of fibre reinforced concrete beams and the available test data and analyse the latter against the mostpromising equations available in the literature. The equations investigated are:Narayanan and Darwish’s formula, the German, the RILEM and the Italian guidelines. Thirty articles, selected among over one hundred articles taken from literature, have been used to create the database that contains almost 600 beams tested in shear. This large number of beams has been decreased to 371 excluding all those beams and test that do not fall within the limitation stated for this thesis. Narayanan and Darwish’s formula can be utilized every time that the fibre percentage, the type of fibres, the beam dimensions, the flexural reinforcement and the concrete strength class have been defined. On the opposite, the parameters introduced in the German, the RILEM and the Italian guidelines always require a further characterization of the concrete (with bending test) in order to describe the post‐cracking behaviour. The parameters involved in the guidelines are the residual flexural tensile strengths according to the different test set‐ups. A method for predicting the residual flexural tensile strength from the knowledge of the fibre properties, the cylindrical compressive strength of the concrete and the amount of fibres percentage is suggested. The predictions of the shear strength, obtained using the proposed method for the residual flexural tensile strength, showed to be satisfactory when compared with the experimental results. A comparison among the aforementioned equations corroborate the validity of the empirical formulations proposed by Narayanan and Darwish nevertheless only the other equations provide a realistic assessments of the strength, toughness and ductility of structural elements subjected to shear loading. Over the three investigated equations, which work with the post‐cracking characterization of the material, the Italian guideline proposal is the one that, due to its wide domain of validity and the results obtained for the gathered database of beams, has been selected as the most reliable equation.

Full textAbstract:
There are approximately 4000 railway bridges in Sweden managed by the Swedish Administration of Transport (Trafikverket), of which a common construction type is the reinforced concrete (RC) trough bridge, which is a structure that consists of a slab carried by two longitudinal main beams which transfer loads towards the supports. A substantial amount of the RC trough bridge population is approaching the end of their service lives which consequently implies that the replacement of some of these bridges can be expected in the near future. Extending their service lives can yield positive effects from a financial- as well as an environmental perspective, and therefore it is highly beneficial to evaluate their capacities as realistically as possible. One factor that may help improve accuracy during the determination of their capacities is an evaluation of how it is affected by the location of the railway track on the bridge. In current design codes defined by Trafikverket, consideration is taken to horizontal track displacement for a minimum displacement of 0.1 m if there doesn’t exist data suggesting that a larger displacement is prevalent on the bridge. However, Trafikverket has received data which suggest that a considerable number of bridges could experience load eccentricities which exceed the standard minimum value. This raises the question whether or not 0.1m is the most optimal limit value for load eccentricity on railway bridges. For RC trough bridges, a larger load eccentricity may result in one main beam carrying a larger portion of the load which will decrease the axle load which the bridge can carry. It is therefore important to evaluate the influence of larger horizontal displacements than what is currently is considered as a preventive action. In addition, several studies on Swedish concrete bridges constructed during the 20th century have pointed to a significant increase in concrete compressive- and tensile strength over time. This suggests that it is possible that a considerable amount of RC trough bridges have a higher capacity than what was originally intended, and further research is required in order to understand the behaviour of these bridges when key material parameters are altered. There are three main tasks which this master thesis seeks to complete. The first part is a detailed analysis of a database named BaTMan (Bridge and Tunnel Management) that belongs to Trafikverket. In this analysis parameters such as span length, age, material type and damages for every identified railway bridge is extracted and further processed in Microsoft Excel in order to gain a clear overview of the RC trough bridge population. The second task regards the development of a non-linear finite element model of a typical RC trough bridge named Lautajokki. The model is analysed using ATENA Science and its behaviour is verified against test results obtained during a full-scale test of the bridge performed by Paulsson et al. (1996). The last task is to use the devolved model to perform a parametric study where the effects of changes in load eccentricity, compressive strength as well as tensile strength is studied.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail thèse a pour objet une méthode expérimentale combinant un essai de traction indirect par écaillage et une mesure de champs à partir d’images obtenues par caméra ultra rapide, ceci à des fins d’identification des propriétés de rupture du béton sous chargement de traction dynamique. Cette méthode, proposée dans la littérature peu de temps avant le démarrage de ces travaux, fait ici l’objet d’une étude approfondi ainsi que d’une série de développements et d’amélioration. Les images obtenues sont traités par une technique de grille et la méthode des champs virtuels est appliquée pour identifier le comportement local des matériaux quasi-fragiles soumis à de hautes vitesses de déformation (plusieurs 100 1/s}). Dans un premier temps, afin de valider la technique de traitement maus aussi d’étudier l’incertitude de mesure associée, un simulateur de la chaîne de mesure complète a été mis au point. Il a été ainsi possible d’étudier l’influence de différentes sources potentielles d’erreurs qui peuvent être rencontrées dans le protocole expérimental. Cette étude a permis de retenir des recommandations sur les conditions de réalisations réelles de l’essai afin d’améliorer la fiabilité des mesures obtenues. D’un point de vue expérimental, différents capteurs ultra haute vitesse ont été utilisés afin d’étudier leur performances vis-à-vis des mesures réalisées. Ainsi, les campagnes d’essais ont été réalisées sur un matériau aux caractéristiques bien identifiées permettant l’étude des performances métrologiques de toute la chaine d’identification, pour chaque modèle de capteur. Enfin, le protocole expérimentale a été mis en place pour étudier le comportement de plusieurs types de béton soumis en traction dynamique. L’objectif, ici, est d’identifier leur comportements mécaniques ainsi que leur caractéristiques de rupture et fragmentation sous traction dynamique. En ce qui concerne la résistance à la traction, les valeurs identifiées dans cette étude sont inférieures, pour chaque cas, à celles rapportées dans la littérature et obtenues, pour la plupart, à partir du traitement de la vitesse matérielle mesurée en face arrière de l’échantillon. Pour ce qui est de l’énergie spécifique de rupture, les valeurs obtenues dans ces travaux sont égalements inférieures à celles publiées dans les revues scientifiquesIn this thesis a recently proposed photomechanical spalling experiment has been used in light of identifying concrete failure properties under dynamic tension.The experimental technique uses ultra-high speed imaging, the grid method and the virtual fields method.First, in order to investigate the accuracy and validate the processing technique, a methodology of using simulated experiments has been developed by numerically simulating the entire identification process.In this way, several potential sources of errors have been investigated allowing to place guidelines on how to perform the experiment in a more reliable manner.Second, several latest ultra-high speed acquisition systems have been used in order to investigate their contribution to a possible measurement refinement.In this case, the trial experiments have been conducted on a material of known characteristics which allowed investigating the metrological performance of the acquisition system on the entire identification chain.Finally, the experimental methodology has been applied to testing several grades of concrete in light of identifying the material constitutive response as well as their fracturing characteristics under dynamic tension.The identified tensile strengths in this work were found to be consistently lower than those obtained from the standard processing of the rear-face velocity profile.Moreover, the values of the identified specific fracture energy were also found to be markedly lower than the ones often reported in the literature

As estruturas de concreto são moldadas em formas tratadas com desmoldantes e sua presença dificulta a adesão da argamassa fresca, com posterior descolamento no estado endurecido. Este estudo tem por objetivo explorar o potencial de uso de agentes retardadores em substituição aos desmoldantes convencionais na moldagem de concreto para obtenção de superfícies com maior capacidade de ancoragem das argamassas. A viabilidade do uso de agentes retardadores foi verificada determinando-se de modo comparativo a resistência de aderência à tração da argamassa e do chapisco aplicados sobre corpos de prova de concreto moldados em formas de madeira plastificada tratadas com agente retardador e com desmoldante convencional. O ensaio de aderência mostrou que a utilização de agentes retardadores possibilita maior facilidade para a remoção da camada superficial do concreto, resultando em aumento de rugosidade e absorção superficial, permitindo maior resistência de aderência da argamassa e chapisco. Posteriormente, foram coletados agentes retardadores do mercado e avaliados: desempenho na aplicação sobre as formas, impacto dos produtos na saúde do trabalhador e no meio ambiente, e o efeito retardador na hidratação do cimento. Também foram avaliados quanto: a aplicabilidade dos produtos e sua influência no preparo da superfície para o recebimento da argamassa quando tratadas com produtos retardadores e convencionais em três tipos de formas. O estudo mostrou que o uso de agente retardador pode ser uma técnica viável para reduzir os problemas de descolamento do revestimento aplicado sobre superfícies de concreto. Através dos ensaios específicos desenvolvidos e adaptados para esta pesquisa, foi possível identificar que existem diferenças de comportamentos entre os produtos, sendo eles convencionais ou retardadores, e que os tipos de forma influenciam nestes comportamentos. Foi verificado também que as formas mais simples e com custos menores podem ser mais apropriadas para utilização destes produtos.The concrete structures are cast in molds treated with a release agent (demolding product), and its presence hinders the mortars initial adhesion in the plastic state, as well as the bond strength after hardening. The study aims is to explore the potential use of retarding agents to replace conventional release agents in the concrete formwork. The technical viability of using a retarding agent was verified by comparing the tensile bond strength of rendering mortars applied on concrete surfaces cast with a conventional release agent and on concrete surfaces cast with a retarding release agent. The results showed that, through the use of retarding products, the removal of the concrete surface layer was possible by increasing the surface roughness, the surface water absorption and the tensile bond strength of the mortar to this concrete. Performance tests were also done with retarding products commercially available in the Brazilian market to verify the behavior of such products during application on molds, their impact on workers health and on the environment, and the retarding effect in cement hydration. It was also evaluated the applicability of these products and their influence on surface preparation to receive mortar when treated with retarding and conventional products, in three types of molds. Retarding products showed to be a viable technique for reducing the detachment problems of rendering mortars applied on concrete surfaces. Through the specific tests developed and adapted for this study, it was observed that there are differences in behavior between the conventional or retarding products, and also observed how these types of molds can influence the performance of the products. It was also observed that the simplest molds with lower cost can be more suitable in this application.

En la actualidad en gran parte del mundo se viene proponiendo e impulsando las políticas ambientales que puedan reducir el problema de la degradación de los recursos naturales a la que está siendo sometido el planeta. A tal efecto se plantea la realización de esta investigación para tratar de determinar el grado de influencia en las propiedades físicas del concreto fabricado con agregados reciclados procedentes de la trituración. La variable seleccionada para la investigación ha sido: el porcentaje de sustitución del agregado grueso natural por agregado grueso reciclado en la dosificación del concreto. El objetivo general de la investigación es analizar en qué medida la cantidad de agregado grueso reciclado usado en la dosificación de la mezcla influye en las propiedades mecánicas del concreto. El tipo de investigación fue básica y cualitativa, la metodología. Se usó una metodología experimental y transversal. El análisis de los resultados experimentales indican que la resistencia a la compresión y a la tracción no se ven afectadas notoriamente al reemplazar el 20% de agregado natural, en un mayor porcentaje de reemplazo , la resistencia empieza a decaer directamente proporcional a un mayor porcentaje de agregado reciclado.
Today in much of the world has been proposing and promoting environmental policies that can reduce the problem of the degradation of natural resources that the planet is undergoing. For this purpose the realization of this research to try to determine the degree of influence on the physical properties of concrete made with recycled aggregate from crushing arises. The selected research variable was the percentage of coarse natural aggregate replacement by recycled coarse aggregate concrete proportions. The overall objective of the research is to analyze to what extent the amount of recycled coarse aggregate used in the dosage of the mixture influences the mechanical properties of concrete. The research was basic and qualitative methodology. An experimental and transversal approach was used. Analysis of the experimental results indicate that the compressive strength and tensile strength are not affected noticeably by replacing 20% of natural aggregate, a higher percentage replacement, resistance begins to drop directly proportional to a higher percentage of added recycling.

Full textAbstract:
The autogenous shrinkage due to self-desiccation of high- and ultra-high performance concretes with very low water-cement ratio in case of restraint leads to considerable stresses starting from very early age. The resultant risk of cracking presently cannot be adequately investigated. Parameters that are particularly difficult to capture experimentally are the concrete temperature and the viscoelasticity. The primary objective of this work was to assess as precise as possible the autogenous shrinkage cracking propensity of representative concretes at strong restraint and constant room temperature. Test methods needed to be chosen and enhanced in a way that preferably allowed for the efficient and precise investigation of all relevant factors in the future. Ideally, a method suitable for a complete empirical modeling was provided. First the methodological requirements and the advantages and disadvantages of existing test methods were discussed. Based on this, optimized test methods were proposed. Their suitability was verified using the example of ultra-high strength concrete. The choice of concrete compositions considered the essential measures for reducing shrinkage (internal curing, shrinkage-reducing admixtures, reduction of the fraction of Portland cement in the binder). The autogenous shrinkage was measured with the shrinkage cone method. This new test method was validated by investigations of the repeatability and reproducibility and proved efficient and precise. It allows for measurements under non-isothermal conditions; no established test method exists for that purpose to date. The autogenous shrinkage of the ultra-high strength concretes at the age of 24 h, investigated under quasi-isothermal conditions (20 °C), was between 0,25 mm/m and 0,70 mm/m. It was particularly low when a shrinkage-reducing admixture was added and when superabsorbent polymers were used. The stresses due to restraint were determined with the restrained ring test. A large part of the stresses to be expected according to Hooke’s Law were eliminated by creep and relaxation. The relaxation capacity being very pronounced at very early age was the main reason that no visible cracking occurred, not even with the concretes with high autogenous shrinkage. The development of the autogenous shrinkage cracking propensity was described as ratio of restraint stress and splitting tensile strength. By means of modified ring tests, used to determine the maximum tensile stress, it could be shown that the ratio of stress to strength is an appropriate failure criterion. However, the cracking propensity can be calculated correctly only if the strongly age-dependent ratio of uniaxial to splitting tensile strength is accounted for. Besides, it needs to be considered that at very early age a plastic stress redistribution may occur in restrained ring tests. The reference concrete showed a high cracking propensity of up to 0.68. The fact that shrinkage-reducing measures led to significantly lower values reveals their relevance for the safe application of ultra-high strength concrete. However, the investigations carried out here at 20 °C do not allow for a final assessment of the cracking propensity under typical on-site conditions. To empirically model the autogenous shrinkage cracking propensity as a function of temperature and stress level in the future, an analytical stress solution for non-isothermal restrained ring tests and a new approach for investigating the residual stress and relaxation capacity by means of non-passive restrained ring tests was suggestedDas durch Selbstaustrocknung verursachte autogene Schwinden von besonders leistungsfähigen Betonen mit sehr niedrigem Wasserzementwert führt bei Dehnungsbehinderung bereits in sehr frühem Alter zu erheblichen Zwangsspannungen. Die Gefahr der Rissbildung, die sich daraus ergibt, lässt sich bislang nur unzureichend untersuchen. Experimentell besonders schwer zu erfassende Faktoren sind die Betontemperatur und die Viskoelastizität. Das vorrangige Ziel der Arbeit war die möglichst genaue Ermittlung der autogenen Schwindrissneigung repräsentativer Betone bei starker Dehnungsbehinderung und konstanter Raumtemperatur. Dabei waren die Prüfverfahren möglichst so zu wählen und weiterzuentwickeln, dass sich zukünftig alle relevanten Faktoren effizient und genau untersuchen lassen. Im Idealfall sollte eine Methode entstehen, die eine vollständige empirische Modellierung erlaubt. Zunächst wurden die methodischen Anforderungen und die Vor- und Nachteile existierender Prüfverfahren diskutiert. Darauf aufbauend wurden optimierte Verfahren vorgeschlagen. Ihre Eignung wurde an ultrahochfestem Beton überprüft. Bei der Auswahl der Betone wurden die wesentlichen Maßnahmen zur Schwindreduzierung berücksichtigt (innere Nachbehandlung, schwindreduzierende Zusatzmittel, Verringerung des Portlandzementanteils am Bindemittel). Das autogene Schwinden wurde mit dem Schwindkegelverfahren gemessen. Das neue Verfahren wurde durch Untersuchungen zur Wiederhol- und Vergleichsgenauigkeit validiert und erwies sich als effizient und genau. Es ermöglicht Messungen unter nicht-isothermen Bedingungen; hierfür existiert bisher kein etabliertes Verfahren. Das autogene Schwinden der untersuchten ultrahochfesten Betone unter quasi-isothermen Bedingungen (20 °C) betrug im Alter von 24 h zwischen 0,25 mm/m und 0,70 mm/m. Besonders gering war es bei Zugabe eines schwindreduzierenden Zusatzmittels bzw. Verwendung superabsorbierender Polymere. Mit dem Ring-Test wurden die bei Dehnungsbehinderung entstehenden Spannungen ermittelt. Ein großer Teil der gemäß Hooke’schem Gesetz zu erwartenden Spannungen wurde durch Kriechen und Relaxation abgebaut. Die im sehr frühen Alter stark ausgeprägte Relaxationsfähigkeit war der wesentliche Grund dafür, dass es selbst bei Betonen mit hohem autogenen Schwinden zu keiner erkennbaren Rissbildung kam. Die Entwicklung der autogenen Schwindrissneigung wurde als Verhältnis von Zwangsspannung und Spaltzugfestigkeit beschrieben. Durch modifizierte Ring-Tests, mit deren Hilfe die maximale Zugspannung ermittelt wurde, konnte gezeigt werden, dass das Verhältnis von Spannung und Festigkeit als Versagenskriterium geeignet ist. Die Rissneigung lässt sich aber nur dann korrekt berechnen, wenn das stark altersabhängige Verhältnis von einaxialer Zugfestigkeit und Spaltzugfestigkeit berücksichtigt wird. Außerdem ist zu beachten, dass es im sehr frühen Alter zu einer plastischen Spannungsumlagerung in Ring-Tests kommen kann. Der Referenzbeton wies eine hohe Rissneigung von bis zu 0,68 auf. Dass die schwindreduzierenden Maßnahmen zu deutlich geringeren Werten führten, zeigt deren Bedeutung für den sicheren Einsatz von ultrahochfestem Beton. Die hier bei 20 °C durchgeführten Untersuchungen erlauben allerdings keine abschließende Bewertung der Rissneigung unter baustellentypischen Bedingungen. Um die autogene Schwindrissneigung zukünftig als Funktion der Temperatur und des Lastniveaus empirisch modellieren zu können, wurden eine analytische Spannungslösung für nicht-isotherme Ring-Tests und ein neuer Ansatz zur Untersuchung der Resttrag- und Relaxationsfähigkeit mit Hilfe nicht-passiver Ring-Tests vorgeschlagen

Das Tragverhalten von Textilbeton kann durch den Einsatz von Kurzfasern erheblich verbessert werden. Untersuchungen zeigen eine Anhebung der Erstrisslast, ein dehnungsverfestigendes Verhalten, eine Verfeinerung des Rissbildes sowie eine Anhebung der maximalen Tragfähigkeit. Unklar sind bisher noch die genauen Mechanismen, die eine gezielte Einstellung des Tragverhaltens ermöglichen. Der Beitrag fasst die Untersuchungen zu den einzelnen Bereichen der Spannungs- ehnungslinie von Textilbeton mit Kurzfasern zusammen und versucht möglichst allgemeingültige Zusammenhänge darzustellen. Dabei werden die Erhöhung der Erstrisslast, die Rissüberbrückung und die Auswirkungen auf das Gesamttragverhalten betrachtet. Abschließend wird das zyklische Biegetragverhalten von Textilbeton mit Kurzfasern im gerissenen Zustand dargestelltThe load bearing behaviour of textile reinforced concrete can be significantly improved by the addition of short fibres. Investigations show an increase of the first crack strength, a strain-hardening behaviour, a better crack pattern distribution as well as an increase of the load carrying capacity. However, the exact mechanisms leading to this behaviour are not yet known such that a prediction of the load bearing behaviour is not possible. This paper summarises the investigations on the different parts of the stress-strain curve of textile reinforced concrete with short fibres and tries to describe general relationships. In this context the increase of the first crack stress, the crack bridging behaviour and the influence on the load-bearing behaviour in general are considered. Finally, the dynamic flexural behaviour of textile reinforced concrete with short fibres in state II is presented

Behavior in Tensile of Concrete with High Level of Steel Fibers
The development of powerful water reduction and water retention mixtures has made it possible to create very fluid cement mixtures and highly resistant without segregation occurs. The method we are developing is within the field of Fiber Reinforced Concrete and is called SIFCON (Slurry Infiltrated Fiber Concrete). In this method, these mixtures can fill empty spaces between the fibers pre-placed only by action of their own weight.
In this work, SIFCON samples were tested to evaluate the effect of fibers on the tensile strength and load/deflection curves of beams. We evaluated two mixtures and two types of fiber in different quantities. The increased amount of fibers leads us to higher tensile stresses and a more ductile behavior of the specimens. Improving the bonding between the cement paste and steel is obtained by high strength slurries, however, the anchoring of steel fibers is still a problem to be solved.

Destes pode-se citar as variáveis que intervêm nos mecanismos de aderência, porém que não são controláveis, como a temperatura, umidade e ventilação. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho objetiva analisar a influência da ação do vento e da temperatura elevada durante a cura da argamassa de chapisco na aderência dos revestimentos externos de argamassa aplicados em substratos de concreto. Foram moldados prismas nas dimensões 40x45x10cm, com resistência aos 28 dias de 37MPa. Utilizou-se 3 argamassas de chapisco, uma dosada em obra com traço 1:5,67 (em massa com areia seca) e outras duas industrializadas de diferentes fabricantes. Também foram utilizadas 3 argamassas de revestimento, uma dosada em obra com traço 1:0,78:6,5 (em massa com areia seca), e outras duas industrializadas de diferentes fabricantes, sendo os mesmos das argamassas de chapisco. Combinou-se os tipos de argamassa de chapisco e revestimento juntamente com o modo de preparo de cada para a composição de diferentes sistemas de revestimento, num total de 90 combinações aplicadas em 45 prismas. Em todos eles, uma das faces recebia a ação do vento durante a cura de três dias da argamassa de chapisco e em 18 deles ambas as faces recebiam também a ação da temperatura de 40°C (os demais eram curados a 23°C). As argamassas de revestimento eram curadas durante 28 dias a uma temperatura de 23±2°C, sem a ação do vento. A umidade relativa do ar foi fixada em 60±5%. Foram realizados ensaios de resistência de aderência à tração do revestimento pela NBR 13528/95 e ensaios e de caracterização do concreto do substrato e das argamassas, estes últimos conforme prescrições da NBR 13281/05. Corpos-de-prova das argamassas de chapisco também foram curadas sob as mesmas condições a que os primas foram submetidas. As resistências médias de aderência obtidas variaram de 0,01 a 0,32MPa para chapiscos convencionais, 0,03 a 0,36MPa para os industrializados 1 e 0,06 a 0,33MPa para os industrizados 2. Com os dados obtidos fez-se análise estatística de variância (ANOVA). Os resultados demonstraram que a ação da ventilação e do calor influenciaram de forma significativa a resistência de aderência, sendo responsáveis por uma queda de 0,014MPa e 0,085MPa, respectivamente. Também se mostraram significativas as variáveis tipo de argamassa de chapisco e de revestimento.The prevention of pathological manifestations in mortar renderings, in special case the detachment, reflected a concern of researches and construction companies aiming the knowledge of materials and rendering systems properties, as well as any other external factors. In this case, some variables that intervene (however not-controllable) in the bond strength mechanisms can be cited, as the temperature, humidity and ventilation. In this context, this work objective to analyze the influence of wind and high temperature during the slurry mortar cure and this relationship with the bond of external mortar renderings in concrete substrates. Concrete prisms of 40x45x10cm had been molded, with strength at 28 days of 37MPa. Three mixes of slurry mortars had been used, one proportioned in situ with a cement/aggregate proportion of 1:5,67(in mass) and two other different pre-mixed slurry mortars. Also three mixes of rendering mortars had been used, one proportioned in situ with a cement/limestone/aggregate proportion of 1:0,78: 6,5 (in mass), and two other different premixed mortars. A total of 45 prisms with 90 combinations (with the different slurry and rendering mortars, as well as different sample preparations) had been produced. For each prism, one of the rendered faces had been assayed simulating the wind action during the three days cure of the slurry mortar and in 18 from both them the faces covered also had been assayed with the action of 40ºC temperature (the others were cured at 23°C). Rendering mortars were cured at 23±2°C during 28 days, without wind influence. The humidity was fixed in 60±5%. The mortars (according NBR 13281/05) and concrete substrata characterization, as well as assays of tensile bond strength of the rendering (according NBR 13528/95) had been carried through. Samples of slurry mortars were also cured over the same conditions the prisms were submited. All data obtained had been statistically analyzed trough variance analysis (ANOVA). The results had demonstrated that the wind effect and the heat condition had influenced significantly the bond strength. The type of slurry or rendering mortar had also revealed significant effect in the bond strength.

Revestimentos de argamassa, embora largamente utilizados, ainda e cada vez mais, geram interesse, tanto por parte do meio acadêmico quanto pelas empresas construtoras. Este fato se deve pela, sempre presente, necessidade de melhoria da tecnologia, visando, principalmente, maior conhecimento dos elementos constituintes do sistema de revestimento e, também, devido ao grande número de manifestações patológicas ocorridas neste tipo de revestimento, em especial o descolamento. Neste contexto, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a influência da camada de preparo da base, o chapisco, quanto a sua forma de aplicação e composição, na resistência de aderência de revestimentos de argamassa aplicados sobre substrato de concreto de baixa porosidade. Para isso, foram moldadas placas de concreto com dimensões de (35x25x5)cm e resistência, aos 28 dias de, aproximadamente, 30MPa, que receberam argamassa de chapisco e posteriormente foram revestidos com argamassa de revestimento. Afim de isolar o efeito do chapisco, nesta pesquisa, o substrato de concreto e a argamassa de revestimento foram mantidos fixos, sendo, então, o chapisco o único elemento variável do sistema. Em relação ao chapisco variou-se sua forma de aplicação (manual e mecanizada), sua composição, onde foi analisada a mudança de granulometria (uma contínua e bem graduada e uma descontínua e mal graduada), a introdução de sílica ativa e de aditivo retentor de água. O substrato de concreto teve cura submersa em água e cal, durante 28 dias, e a argamassa de chapisco e a argamassa de revestimento foram curadas à temperatura de 23±2°C e umidade relativa do ar de 60±10% por 3 e 28 dias, respectivamente. Após 59 dias do início da moldagem, o conjunto “substrato+chapisco+argamassa de revestimento” foi submetido aos ensaios de resistência de aderência à tração e ao cisalhamento. A partir dos resultados obtidos é possível afirmar que quanto a forma de aplicação, a aplicação mecanizada utilizada, de recipiente acoplado, a canequinha, não gerou resultados satisfatórios, uma vez que para as características da argamassa de chapisco utilizada, sendo está de alta relação água/cimento, a aplicação resultou em uma camada desuniforme, mostrando que aplicação manual, mesmo rústica, para chapiscos ainda é a melhor escolha. Quanto a composição do chapisco, os melhores resultados obtidos para a resistência de aderência foram obtidos com chapiscos confeccionados com areia de granulometria contínua e bem graduada. A introdução da sílica no chapisco mostrou uma tendência de melhora para a resistência de aderência à tração e uma melhoria significativa, comprovada por análise estatística, na resistência ao cisalhamento e a introdução de aditivo retentor de água, promoveu uma melhora significativa na resistência de aderência à tração e uma tendência de melhora na resistência de aderência ao cisalhamento.Although widely used, mortar wall coverings still generate interest by both academia and construction companies. This fact is caused by the ever-present need for improved technology, having as principal objective the more refined knowledge about the constituents of the coating system and also the large number of pathologies occurring in this type of siding, in particular its detachment. In this context, this study had the objective of analizing the influence of the application form and composition of slurry mortar on the bonding strength of coatings applied over concrete substrate. For this, concrete plates of 35x25x5cm were molded, with compressive strength at 28 days of, approximately, 30MPa. After that, the plates were coated with coating mortar and slurry mortar. In order to isolate the effect of slurry mortar in this research, the concrete substrate and mortar coating were kept fixed, and the slurry mortar is the only variable element of the system. It was varied the form of application (manual and mechanized), the composition, where were analyzed the change of sand granulometry (a continuous and well-graded, a discontinuous and bad-graded), the introduction of silica and water retaining additive. The concrete substrate was curing in water and lime for 28 days, and mortar coating and slurry mortar were cured at 23±2°C and relative humidity of 60±10%, for 3 and 28 days, respectively. After 59 days from the start of the molding of concrete plates, the "substrate+slurry mortar+mortar coating" samples were subjected to tests of tensile bond strength and shear. From the results obtained, were is can be said that the mechanized application form used did not generate satisfactory results, possibly due to high water/cement ratio of the slurry mortar used, resulting in an uneven layer, showing that manual application, even rustic, for slurry mortar is still the best choice. For the composition of slurry mortar, the best results for bond strength were obtained with slurry mortars made with well-graded sand with a continuous granulometric. The introduction of silica in the slurry mortar showed a tendency to increase the tensile bond strength and a significant increase, proven by statistical analysis, in shear bond strength. The introduction of water retaining additive, a significant improvement in tensile bond strength and a tendency to increase the shear bond strength.

To develop a project sizing concrete pavement is necessary to know the mechanical properties and the different treatment processes of material to be used. This study aimed to analyze the mechanical properties such as flexural strenght, compressive strength, indirect tensile strength and static modulus of concrete paving. The three types of concrete were studied: An actual reference (typically used in paving, one with the addition of polypropylene fibers (common practice for floors), and a high strength concrete used to rapidly release the traffic. Different methods of curing were applied: chemical cure with and without the use of wet burlap bags (widely applied in pavements) and curing in a moist chamber (as recommended by standard). This evaluation of the mechanical properties for the concrete studied in different curing methods applied, showed that the microstructure of concrete is significantly interfering with the results, especially in cured concrete to track conditions (chemical cure without and with the placement of burlap sacks). Where factors such as the absorption and reabsorption of water evaporation to cement hydration, cracking the interface folder / aggregate, ambient conditions related to temperature and humidity, are interfering with the tensile strength in bending, compressive strength, indirect tensile strength and particularly in the static modulus and still, from the results obtained in this study and those reported by other authors who studied a high-strength concrete, it is possible to verify that there are particularities still unknown about the behavior of high strength concrete.Para o desenvolvimento de um projeto de dimensionamento de pavimentos de concreto é necessário conhecer as propriedades mecânicas e os diferentes processos de tratamento do material a ser utilizado. Este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar as propriedades mecânicas, tais como, resistência à tração na flexão, resistência à compressão axial, resistência à tração por compressão diametral e módulo de elasticidade estático em concretos para pavimentação. Foram estudados os três tipos de concretos: um concreto referência, (tipicamente empregado em pavimentação, outro com a adição de fibras de polipropileno (prática comum em pavimentos) e um concreto de alta resistência, utilizado para rápida liberação ao tráfego. Diferentes métodos de cura foram aplicados: cura química com e sem a utilização de sacos de aniagem úmidos (largamente aplicados em pavimentos) e cura em câmara úmida (conforme preconizado por norma). A avalição das propriedades mecânicas para os concretos estudados, nos diferentes métodos de cura aplicados, mostrou que a microestrutura dos concretos, está interferindo de forma significativa nos resultados obtidos, principalmente nos concretos curados para condições de pista (cura química sem e com a colocação de sacos de aniagem), onde fatores como a absorção e reabsorção da água de evaporação para hidratação do cimento, a fissuração da interface pasta/agregado, as condições ambientes relacionadas à temperatura e umidade, estejam interferindo na resistência à tração na flexão, resistência à compressão axial, resistência à tração por compressão diametral e principalmente no módulo de elasticidade estático e ainda, a partir dos resultados obtidos na presente pesquisa e daqueles apresentados por outros autores que estudaram um concreto de alta resistência, é possível verificar que existem particularidades ainda desconhecidas sobre o comportamento do concreto de alta resistência.

Uma grande diversidade de macrofibras poliméricas para reforço de concreto se encontram disponibilizadas hoje em dia. Por natureza estas fibras apresentam grande diversidade de características e propriedades. Estas variações afetam sua atuação como reforço no concreto. No entanto, não há normas brasileiras sobre o assunto e as metodologias de caracterização de normas estrangeiras apresentam divergências. Algumas normas definem que a caracterização do comportamento mecânico deva ser feita nos fios originais e outras que se devam utilizar métodos definidos para caracterização de materiais metálicos. A norma EN14889-2:2006 apresenta maior abrangência, mas deixa dúvidas quanto à adequação dos critérios de caracterização geométrica das fibras e não define um método de ensaio específico para sua caracterização mecânica. Assim, há a necessidade de estabelecimento de uma metodologia que permita a realização de um programa de controle de qualidade da fibra nas condições de emprego. Esta metodologia também proporcionaria uma forma de caracterização do material para estudos experimentais, o que permitiria maior fundamentação científica desses trabalhos que, frequentemente, fundamentam-se apenas em dados dos fabricantes. Assim, foi desenvolvido um estudo experimental focando a caracterização de duas macrofibras poliméricas disponíveis no mercado brasileiro. Focou-se o estudo na determinação dos parâmetros geométricos e na caracterização mecânica através da determinação da resistência à tração e avaliação do módulo de elasticidade. Na caracterização geométrica foi adotada como referência a norma europeia EN14889-2:2006. As medições do comprimento se efetuaram por dois métodos: o método do paquímetro e o método de análise de imagens digitais, empregando um software para processamento das imagens. Para a medição do diâmetro, além das metodologias mencionadas, foi usado o método da densidade. Conclui-se que o método do paquímetro, com o cuidado de esticar previamente as macrofibras, e o método das imagens digitais podem ser igualmente utilizados para medir o comprimento. Já parar determinar o diâmetro, recomenda-se o método da densidade. Quanto à caracterização mecânica, foi desenvolvida uma metodologia própria a partir de informações obtidas de outros ensaios. Assim, efetuaram-se ensaios de tração direta nas macrofibras coladas em molduras de tecido têxtil. Complementarmente, foi avaliado também o efeito do contato abrasivo das macrofibras com os agregados durante a mistura em betoneira no comportamento mecânico do material. Também se avaliou o efeito do método de determinação da área da seção transversal nos resultados medidos no ensaio de tração da fibra. Conclui-se que o método proposto para o ensaio de tração direta da fibra é viável, especialmente para a determinação da resistência à tração. O valor do módulo de elasticidade, por sua vez, acaba sendo subestimado. A determinação da área da seção da fibra através do método da densidade forneceu também os melhores resultados. Além disso, comprovou-se que o atrito das fibras com o agregado durante a mistura compromete o comportamento mecânico, reduzindo tanto a resistência quanto o módulo de elasticidade. Assim, pode-se afirmar que a metodologia proposta para o controle geométrico e mecânico das macrofibras poliméricas é adequada para a caracterização do material.A wide variety of synthetic macrofibers for concrete reinforcement are available nowadays. By nature, these fibers exhibit great diversity of properties and characteristics. These variations affect its performance as reinforcement in concrete. However, there are no Brazilian standards on the subject and characterization methodologies available in foreign standards present divergences. Some standards define that the characterization of the mechanical behavior should be made in the original filaments and others that the test should be performed according methods for metallic materials characterization. The standard EN14889-2:2006 provides greater coverage about the subject, but leaves doubts about the suitability of the geometric characterization criteria of the fibers and does not set a specific testing method for its mechanical characterization. Thus, there is a need to establish a methodology that allows to carry out a quality control program of the fiber in the onsite conditions. This approach would also provide a way of materials characterization for experimental studies, which would allow better scientific basis of these works, which often rely exclusively on data taken from manufacturers. Thus, an experimental study focusing on the characterization of two polymer macrofibers available in Brazil was developed. The study aims at the determination of the geometrical and mechanical characteristics, such as the tensile strength and the elastic modulus. The geometric characterization was based on the prescriptions of the European standard EN14889- 2:2006. Measurements of length were made by two methods: the caliper method and digital image analysis method, employing software for image processing. For the measurement of the diameter, besides the aforementioned methodologies, the density method was also used. It is concluded that the caliper method, taking care to stretch the macrofibers previously, and the method of digital images can also be used to measure the length. To determine the diameter, it is recommended the density method. As for the mechanical characterization, a methodology was developed taking in consideration the previous information related to other tests. Thus, the direct tensile test was carried out in macrofibers glued in textile fabric frames. In addition, it was also evaluated the effect of the abrasive contact of macrofibers with the aggregates during mixing on the mechanical behavior of the material. Also, the effect of the method of determining the cross-sectional area in the results measured in fiber tensile test was evaluated. It is concluded that the proposed method for direct tensile test of the fiber is feasible, especially for tensile strength assessment. The value of the modulus of elasticity, in turn, has been underestimated. The determination of the fiber section area through the density method also gave the best results. Furthermore, it was found that the friction of the fibers with aggregate during mixing compromises the mechanical behavior reducing both strength and elastic modulus. Thus, it can be said that the proposed methodology for the geometric and mechanical control of polymer macrofibers is suitable for the material characterization.

Full textAbstract:
Das Zugtragverhalten von bewehrten und unbewehrten Bauteilen wird von einer Vielzahl von Faktoren beeinflusst. Maßgeblich wird es von der Festigkeit des verwendeten Betons, dem Verbundverhalten zwischen Bewehrung und Beton sowie vom vorhandenen Spannungszustand im Bauteil bestimmt. In der Regel werden im täglichen Planungsgeschäft des Ingenieurs einaxiale Spannungszustände unter Berücksichtigung der Materialeigenschaften des Betons aus den Standardprüfungen betrachtet. Jedoch treten in einer Vielzahl von Anwendungen mehraxiale Spannungszustände auf. Beispielhaft sollen hier Bereiche von zweiachsig spannenden Deckenplatten, in Bereichen von Rahmenecken, rotationssymmetrischen Bauwerkshüllen sowie bei Brückenbauwerken mit durchlaufender Fahrbahn im Bereich der Stützen genannt werden. Normative Regelungen sehen bisher im Falle einer zweiaxialen Druckbeanspruchung lediglich die Erhöhung der Druckfestigkeit bzw. Verbundspannung vor. Regelungen zur Festigkeit des Betons unter zweiaxialer Zugbelastung existieren dagegen nicht. Daraus abgeleitet stellt sich die Frage, welchen Einfluss eine zweiaxiale Zugbeanspruchung auf das Festigkeits- und Verformungsverhalten von unbewehrten und bewehrten Bauteilen ausübt. Mit Blick auf übliche Konstruktionsbetone sollen diese Fragestellungen für einen Beton C20/25 und C40/50 geklärt werden. Im Rahmen eines Forschungsvorhabens wurden hierzu Versuche an unbewehrten Betonsscheiben und gemischt bewehrten Bauteilen durchgeführt. Das im CEB-FIP MODELL CODE 90 vorgestellte Modell zur Beschreibung des einaxialen Spannungs-Dehnungs-Verhaltens bildet das reale Verhalten von Beton unter zweiaxialer Zugbelastung nur ungenügend ab. Hierfür werden Modelle zur Beschreibung des Verformungsverhaltens von Beton unter Berücksichtigung von zweiaxialen Spannungszuständen für einen Beton C20/25 und C40/50 entwickelt. Weiterhin werden Bruchkriterien für die zwei Betonsorten vorgestellt, mit denen die Zugfestigkeit des Betons unter zweiaxialer Zugbelastung bestimmt werden kann. Während bei einem Beton C20/25 die zweiaxiale Zugfestigkeit annähernd der einaxialen Zugfestigkeit entspricht, so nimmt die Zugfestigkeit des Betons C40/50 unter zweiaxialer Zugbelastung um ca. 25% ab. Hinsichtlich der Bruchdehnungen unter zweiaxialer Zugbelastung wurde festgestellt, dass diese mit steigendem Spannungsverhältnis 1 : 2 abnehmen. Darüber hinaus bilden die Modelle zur Bestimmung des Spannungs-Dehnungs-Verhaltens des unbewehrten Betons die Versuchsergebnisse sehr gut ab. Mit Hilfe der hier vorliegenden Ergebnisse können somit das Verformungs- und Festigkeitsverhalten von Beton unter zweiaxialer Zugbelastung sehr gut abgebildet werden. In Bauteilversuchen wurde das Verformungsverhalten unter zweiaxialer Zugbelastung von gemischt bewehrten Bauteilen untersucht. Die Bestimmung der Verformungen erfolgte hierbei mittels Dehnmessstreifen auf der Betonoberfläche, dem schlaffen Bewehrungsstahl und dem im nachträglichen Verbund liegenden Spannglied. Ein indirekter Nachweis des Einflusses auf das Verbundverhalten des Spanngliedes erfolgte. Es wurde aufgezeigt, dass unter zweiaxialer Zugbelastung die Dehnungen im Spannstahl infolge der Längsrissbildung über dem Hüllrohr abnehmen. Dies lässt die Aussage zu, dass die Verbundwirkung des Spanngliedes durch eine orthogonal wirkende Zugbelastung negativ beeinflusst wird. Aufbauend auf den Versuchsergebnissen wird eine Empfehlung für den Einsatz von Dehnmessstreifen zur Bestimmung der Verformungen auf einbetonierten Betonstählen gegeben. Die Berechnung der Erstrisslasten aus den Bauteilversuchen mit den entwickelten Bruchkriterien hat eine sehr gute Übereinstimmung ergebenThe tensile load-bearing characteristics of structural elements made of reinforced or non-reinforced concrete is influenced by a number of factors. Mainly it depends on the strength of the concrete, the interaction between the concrete and the rebar, and the state of stress in the concrete element. Traditionally the designing engineer examines uni-axial stress conditions under consideration of the material properties of the concrete based on standard tests. However, multiple-stress conditions apply for a number of application of such elements, e.g. in concrete slabs designed for bi-axial load bearing, in the joints of frames, in axial symmetrical constructions, or in the intersections of column and deck of multi-span bridges. The commonly used design standard recommends the increase of the compression strength of the concrete or the bond stress for cases of bi-axial load-bearing caused by compression. However, no recommendations are given for the design strength of a concrete under bi-axial tensile stress. Therefore it is interesting to know how a bi-axial tensile stress is influencing the load-bearing and deformation behaviour of structural elements made of reinforced or non-reinforced concrete. This has been investigated for two commonly used concretes (C20/25 and C40/50). Part of an earlier research programme was to perform trials on slabs made of reinforced and non-reinforced concrete. In result a model CEB-FIP MODELL CODE 90 was introduced to describe the deformation of the slab due to a uni-axial stress. However, the model does not satisfactory describe the real behaviour of the slab under a bi-axial tensile stress. In this dissertation a new model will be presented to describe the deformation behaviour of a Concrete C20/25 and a Concrete C40/50 under bi-axial tensile stress. Furthermore, criteria for the two concretes are introduced to describe the ultimate limit state under bi-axial tensile stress. It has been found the bi-axial tensile strength of a Concrete C20/25 is comparable to its uni-axial strength. In difference, the tensile strength of a Concrete C40/50 is decreased by 25% when subject to bi-axial stress. The ultimate limit stress due to bi-axial tensile stress decreases with increasing ratio of the stress 1 : 2. The Strains 1 and 2 are the strains as a result of the biaxial tensile forces in the main directions. The presented model to describe the strain-stress behaviour of an unreinforced concrete is found to agree well with the observations from the trials. Based on the results of this thesis it is possible to describe the strain-stress behaviour of concrete under bi-axial tensile stress. The stress-strain behaviour of structural elements has been investigated under bi-axial tensile stresses. Strains have been monitored with strain-gauges fixed to the surface of the concrete, to the rebars and to the post-tensioning tendons. Therefore, the influence to the interaction of tendon and concrete has been demonstrated indirectly. Furthermore, it has been shown the strain of the tendon decreases following the development of cracks along the grout tube due to the application of bi-axial tensile stress. It can be concluded the bound of the tendon is influenced adversely by tensile stresses applied in perpendicular direction. Recommendations are given for the application of strain-gauges to measure strains of rebars set in concrete. Based on these trials, the estimation of the critical stress to develop initial cracks has been found in good agreement to the presented criteria

Predominant for resistance of concrete constructions is surface layer, through which aggressive gasses and liquids penetrate from surrounding environment. The most important indicator of concrete durability is ability of surface layer transmissions of aggressive substants. In experimental part will be defined the actual state of surface layer by normal testing methods. The transmissions of surface layer will be tested on concrete cubes. Tests for transmissions of air (method TORRENT), of water (method ISAT), of acid gases (dept of carbonation by quick test in 98% CO2) will be carried out and also strength tests. Assessment of positive or negative influence of additions and amount of cement on durability and mechanical properties of concrete will be discussed in conclusion.

During the production of concrete is important the careful selection of raw materials. Nowadays, we are trying in the production to minimize the economic burden and to maximize the use of secondary raw materials. This work is focused on the use of secondary raw materials from the energy industry in construction for the preparation of hydraulic binders. As the main raw materials were used different power plant fly ash from fluidized combustion. The composition of these secondary materials is quite different from conventional high-temperature ash, due to mixing with water they solidify and harden. Experiments were performed with three lodge fly ash from electrostatic precipitators of the fluidized combustion and one high-temperature fly ash. This work is focused on the possibility of monitoring the use of these secondary materials in construction, especially when tests were evaluated characteristics of strength and speed of setting and hardening.

Les enceintes de confinement sont sollicitées lors d'un accident grave par la modification thermodynamique du milieu interne qui génère une pression pouvant monter jusqu'à 5 bars, une température évaluée au maximum à 180 °C et une humidité relative pouvant aller jusqu'à la saturation. Au-delà de calculs réglementaires, la complexité de la sollicitation nécessite une bonne connaissance du comportement mécanique et thermique des matériaux et en particulier du béton dans la gamme de température et d'hygrométrie imposée afin d’être capable de mener les simulations numériques les plus réalistes possibles.Notre étude présente les évolutions des caractéristiques mécaniques et thermiques essentielles pour les simulations numériques d'un béton dans la plage de pression, température et humidité imposées lors d'un accident grave. Les essais mécanique et thermique sont réalisés sous chargement thermo-hydrique contrôlées. La température (T) est fixée à cinq valeurs cibles : 30, 90, 110, 140 et 160 °C. Les cinq degrés de saturation en eau liquide du béton (Sw) varient entre 36 % et 100 %. Les différents degrés de saturation en eau liquide des éprouvettes sont obtenus par le contrôle de l’humidité relative de l’ambiance entourant l’éprouvette pendant leur cure. L’essai DCT (Disk-shape Compact Tension) a été choisi pour déterminer l’évolution de l’énergie de fissuration, du module d'élasticité et de la résistance en traction en fonction de la température et de Sw, en raison de son caractère très compact favorable pour la mise en oeuvre des essais sous pression (essai au-delà de 100 °C). Les propriétés thermiques sont évaluées par la méthode de la Source Plane Transitoire (TPS). C’est une technique permettant de déterminer la conductivité thermique, la diffusivité thermique et d'en déduire la chaleur spécifique. L’évolution de la perméabilité relative à l’azote du béton en fonction de la température jusqu'à 90 °C et du degré de saturation en eau du béton a été évaluée également. Après avoir déterminé les propriétés thermiques et mécaniques du béton, une modélisation numérique a été réalisée afin de passer de l’échelle de laboratoire à l’échelle de la structure. Un couplage entre un modèle hydrique et un modèle d’endommagement a été réaliséIn case of severe accident, confinement chambers are submitted to thermodynamic variations of their internal environment. Pressures can increase up to 5 bars, temperature reaches 140 °C and relative humidity attains saturation. Beyond regulatory calculations, the complexity of the solicitation needs a good knowledge of the thermo-mechanical behaviour of concrete under the imposed conditions of temperature and relative humidity. This, in turns allows to develop numerical simulations as realistic as possible. The present study investigates the evolution of the mechanical and thermal characteristics of concrete. These properties are essential to develop numerical computations under the levels of pressure, temperature and relative humidity imposed during a severe accident. Mechanical and thermal tests are carried out under controlled hydro-thermal conditions. Temperature (T) is fixed at five target values: 30, 90, 110, 140 and 160 °C. Five levels of degree of saturation (Sw) range from 36 % to 100 %. The different target values of degree of saturation are attained by controlling relative humidity in the surrounding environment of the specimens during curing. DCT (Disk-shape Compact tension) tests was chosen to determine the dependence of the fracture energy, elastic modulus and traction resistance on temperature and degree of saturation of concrete because of its compact shape that is more suitable for testing under pressure (temperature above 100°C). Thermal properties are determined by means of the Transient Plane Source (TPS) method. This technique allows to determine thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and hence to deduct specific heat. The dependence of the permeability to liquid nitrogen on temperature up to 90 °C and on the degree of saturation was also analysed. After determining thermal and mechanical properties of concrete, numerical simulations have been developed in order to pass from laboratory scale to the structure scale. A coupled hydro-mechanical model and a damage model are proposed

Full textAbstract:
After the 1999 Kocaeli Earthquake, the use of chemically bonded post-installed
anchors has seen a great growth for retrofits in Turkey. Currently, chemically bonded
post-installed anchors are designed from related tables provided by adhesive
manufacturers and a set of equations based on laboratory pullout tests on normal or
high strength concretes. Unfortunately, concrete compressive strengths of existing
buildings, which need retrofit for earthquake resistance, ranges within 5 to 16 MPa.
The determination of tensile strength of chemically bonded anchors in low-strength
concretes is an obvious prerequisite for the design and reliability of retrofit projects.
Since chemically bonded anchors result in the failure of concrete, adhesive-concrete
interface or anchored material, the ultimate resistance of anchor can be predicted
through the sum of the contributions of concrete strength, properties of anchored
material (which is steel for this work), and anchorage depth. In this work, all three
factors and the predictions of current tables and equations related to anchorages are
examined throughout site tests.

Full textAbstract:
L'objectif de la thèse est d'étudier l'effet de la quantité de fillers vis-à-vis des propriétés rhéologiques, mécaniques et dimensionnelles de bétons tout calcaire. Ces bétons ont été confectionnés avec les mêmes gravillons et le même sable provenant de la même production, afin d'éviter tout artéfact. Le sable a servi à fabriquer cinq sables représentatifs des catégories définies dans la norme EN 12260 des granulats à bétons, par mélange avec sa fraction fine ou sa fraction grenue extraites préalablement par lavage. Les sables fabriqués contiennent environ 0, 6, 12, 18 et 24% de fillers. Les bétons ont été formulés avec le logiciel BetonlabPro2, dont les algorithmes prennent en compte la présence des fillers calcaires. Les bétons ont été réalisés tout d'abord sans superplastifiant, puis en présence d'un superplastifiant dosé à 2/3 de la saturation. Les résultats obtenus ont montré qu'une quantité de fillers de 100 à 130 kg/m3 pour les bétons courants et de 60 à 80 kg/m3 pour les bétons superplastifiés, permet d'obtenir des propriétés optimales, à consistance égale. Mais des quantités supérieures de fillers n'altèrent pas significativement les propriétés des bétons, même si leur compacité diminue. On explique ce comportement non seulement par l'effet liant attribué aux fillers calcaires, mais aussi par une amélioration de la liaison pâte granulats. Les mélanges contenant les plus forts taux de fillers ont encore été étudiés pour formuler des bétons autoplaçants BAP, qui nécessitent une grande quantité de fillers. Les sables de concassage apportent alors la majeure partie de ce constituant, ce qui leur ouvre une voie nouvelle d'utilisationThe objective of this work is to study the effect of the quantity of fillers on the rheological, mechanical and dimensional properties of calcareous concretes. These concretes were made with the same coarse aggregates and same sand coming from the same production, in order to avoid any artifact. Sand was used to manufacture five sands representative of the categories defined in the EN 12260 norm for aggregates for concretes, by mixture with its fine fraction or its grained fraction extracted beforehand by washing. The employed sands contain approximately 0, 6, 12, 18 and 24 % of fillers. The concretes were formulated with the BetonlabPro2 software, whose algorithms take into account the presence of the fillers limestones. Concretes were realized at first without superplastifiant, then in the presence of a superplastifiant measured in 2/3 of saturation. The obtained results showed that a quantity of fillers limestones from 100 to 130 kg/m3 for the concretes and from 60 to 80 kg / m3 for superplasticizred concretes allows obtaining optimal properties, in equal consistency. But, higher quantities of fillers do not deteriorate significantly the properties of the concretes, even if their packing density decreases. One explains this behavior not only by the binding effect allotted to the fillers limestones, but also by an improvement of the paste-aggregates bond. Mixtures containing the strongest rates of fillers were again studied to formulate self compacting concretes SCC, which require a big quantity of fillers. Crushed sands bring then the major part of this constituent, what opens to them a new way of use

Die vorliegende Arbeit befaßt sich mit der experimentellen Analyse des Tragverhaltens von Hochleistungsbeton unter mehraxialer Beanspruchung. Dabei wurden sowohl die zwei und die dreiaxiale Drucktragfähigkeit als auch das Verhalten unter zweiaxialer kombinierter Druck Zug Beanspruchung untersucht. Für die Analyse kamen jeweils drei Betonfestigkeitsklassen zum Einsatz, C 55/67, C 70/85 und C 90/105. Innerhalb der durchgeführten Versuchsreihen wurden sowohl die jeweiligen Bruchlasten als auch die Spannungs Dehnungs Beziehungen ermittelt. Die Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchungen wurden mit denen verglichen, die an Normalbeton gewonnen wurden. Aus diesem Vergleich wurden Schlußfolgerungen für den Einsatz von Hochleistungsbetonen abgeleitet. Zur mathematischen Beschreibung des Tragverhaltens von Hochleistungsbeton wurden für die untersuchten Beanspruchungsregime Näherungsfunktionen angegebenThe subject of this paper is the experimental analysis of the behavior of High Performance Concrete under multiaxial loading. Thereby the behavior under bi- and triaxial compression as well as the behavior under combined compression-tension stresses were examined. Three concrete grades were examined, C 55/67, C 70/85 and C 90/105. Within the test series, the ultimate loads and the stress-strain-relationships were determined. The results of the examinations were compared to the results which are already known for normal strength concrete. From these comparisons conclusions for the usage of high performance concrete were made. For the examined states of stress mathematical approximations are specified
