This paper shows the effect of coarse aggregates in concrete with perfobond rib via experimental and FE analysis. First, the model of a single PBL in ordinary concrete was reproduced through a three-dimensional nonlinear FE model. Coarse aggregates were added to the model; it was found that the coarse aggregates around the perforation of PBL increased its initial load-carrying capacity. Furthermore, the interlocking of these coarse aggregates was found to affect PBL behavior after the peak of loadcarrying capacity. Next, analytical numerical modeling of push-out tests of single PBL was performed to investigate the role of coarse aggregates. It was confirmed that the initial load-carrying capacity could be increased via the vertical loading stress from the steel to the coarse aggregates. Finally, the numerical modeling results were verified by actual push-out tests of single PBL with systematically sorted coarse aggregates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
