Dynamic Realistic Failure Process Analysis (DRFPA) is a numerical software based on FEM it is firstly validated by comparing with the experimental test. Such validation is carried out under two consistent concrete specimens under uniaxial compression. After validation, DRFPA is used to study the influence of two parallel pre-existing crack inclination angles on the fracture of concrete under dynamic loads. The evolution of wing cracks and secondary cracks is investigated by observing the initiation, coalescence, and propagation of them. Meanwhile, the relationship between failure mode and inclination angles is discussed via analyzing the acoustic emission events. Finally, it is concluded the relationship between inclination angles of pre-cracks and performance/stability of concrete structure.

The current design standards refer to the necessity for expansion joint, there are no clear limitations as to the location and spacing of expansion joint. To find the effect of the rebar ratio, structural tests were performed on Samples with adjustments of the rebar ratio. As the rebar ratio increases, the average crack width decreas-es. The number of crack increase but the concrete crack width decrease. Also, comparing results of experiment with those of analysis, it is necessary to apply the concrete tensile strength, which reflects the contribution of the reinforcement ratio.

In this study, a column with section IPE and different lengths, completely embedded in concrete, is modelled by finite element software ABAQUS. Columns under different bi-axial loading were used and graphs of axial force-axial deformation, interaction axial force, and bending moment and column curve were mapped. The results show that the load capacity of the column, with increasing length and also increasing eccentricity of the axial load, will be reduced. With increasing length, the effect of an increased eccentricity of the reduced load capacity was increased. Equations for the design of the column are also presented. The results of the presented equations were compared with the values obtained from finite element and building national institute 10th topic.
