Finite Element Analysis on the Behavior of Slab-Column Connections Using Pva-Ecc Material

Abstract

A 3D finite element analysis was carried out to study the behavior of slab-column connections in a flat slab structure under combined gravity and cyclic lateral load. Prior to simulating the behavior of the proposed model, the slab-column connection specimen by using standard orthogonal stud rail from the previous study was modeled with the purpose of verifying the results using finite element tool. Given that numerical simulation was undertaken using ABAQUS to predict the structural behavior of the above-mentioned structure. With regard to providing an accurate result, a sensitivity analysis was performed by changing different parameters, such as dilation angle, viscosity parameter, and damage parameter-strain on both in tension and compression. After gaining the close resemblance to the previous study, the proposed models were then simulated using the similar technique. In the proposed model, drop panel element was used as a replacement of stud rail. Additionally, the engineered cementitious composite material using polyvinyl alcohol fibers (PVA-ECC) was also employed due to its strain capacity of 3-5% under tension compared to 0.01% of conventional concrete. Through this study, the results showed that the effect of utilizing the PVA-ECC material could significantly improve the specimen behavior and damage tolerance.

Engineered Cementitious Composites as a High-Performance Fiber Reinforced Material: A Review

“…Shown in Table 1 are the differences between ECC, FRC, and other common HPFRCC. Despite achieving superiority in terms of tensile strength, ECC has a lower Youngs's modulus (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34) than traditional concrete (40-60 GPa) [3] with the same compressive strength, which indicates a lack of coarse aggregate [4].…”

3-Dimentional Modeling of Cylindrical Concrete Under Axial Compression With Variations of Mesh Element Technic and Effect of Reduced Integration

“…Dukungan teknologi yang semakin canggih dan dibantu program komputer, membuat penelitian ini lebih efisien untuk mengurangi biaya penelitian eksperimental dan mendapatkan hasil yang diharapkan seperti pada penelitian. Tambusay (2016), Forouzanmehr (2019), serta Wiryadi and Sudarsana (2019), melakukan penelitian dengan salah satu metode numerik yang banyak digunakan yaitu metode elemen hingga (MEH) yang mana dalam penelitian mereka mendapatkan banyak informasi dari parameter yang ditinjau. Salah satu program yang berbasis metode elemen hingga adalah Abaqus®, dengan salah satu fitur yang dapat menggambarkan karakteristik beton yaitu Concrete Damage Plasticity (CDP) (Abaqus, 2014).…”

Evaluasi Kapasitas Struktur: Sistem Struktur Pelat dengan balok dan alternative struktur Flat Slab dengan Drop Panel

“…Namun, dengan tidak adanya elemen balok pada konstruksi yang menggunakan flat slab, kemampuan dalam menahan gaya geser secara signifikan berkurang. Distribusi gaya yang menginisiasi kerusakan secara horizontal akan mendukung fracture berlebih yang menyebabkan kegagalan struktur atau terjadinya punching shear effect [6]- [8]. Pertimbangan-pertimbangan desain seperti posisi dinding dan kolom atau optimasi sistem layout struktur serta kontrol deformasi harus sangat diperhatikan.…”
