Experimental and numerical investigation of the seismic performance of hollow rectangular bridge piers constructed with and without steel fiber reinforced concrete

Numerical simulation for seismic performance evaluation of fibre reinforced concrete beam–column sub-assemblages

“…It was brought out the validated numerical models can be used to improve the design technique for repair or retrofittment using such composites. Though few research works addressed the issues of numerical modelling of normal and fiber reinforced concrete [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], detailed discussion on methodology for numerical simulations of the performance of the critical reinforced concrete components such as beam-column joints using materials like FRC, under reverse cyclic loading, is very scanty and inadequate. Further, though importance of development and usage of new materials for construction activities have been increased dramatically, the research on material properties required for effective evaluation of cyclic response of the structural components made of fiber reinforced concrete is scarce.…”

“…Further, parametric studies were carried out to evaluate the efficacy of introduction of steel fibres to compensate for requirement of conventional transverse reinforcement. Seismic performance of reinforced concrete rectangular hollow piers made of steel fiber reinforced concrete was investigated [16] through experimental investigations and numerical simulations. For numerical simulations, OpenSees, were employed.…”

Analytical behaviour of concrete-encased CFST box stub columns under axial compression

“…Compared to traditional steel columns and RC columns, the concrete-encased CFST columns have higher bearing capacity and better fire resistance due to the existence of outer concrete. Reinforced concrete (RC) box members have been widely used in bridges due to the large stiffness of bending and torsion [1]. As shown in Fig.…”

“…[2][3][4]) and RC box columns (e.g. [1,5,6]). An et al [7] have analyzed the performance of concrete-encased CFST box column which only has CFST in the corners of the cross section.…”

Postcracking residual strengths of fiber‐reinforced high‐performance concrete after cyclic loading

“…Most research carried out over recent years have focused on obtaining predictions of the fatigue life, that is, the number of cycles that the concrete element can withstand . However, there are a few works that have focused on studying how the mechanical parameters of concrete are modified under cyclic loading …”
