Modeling and Model Verification of the Stress-Strain State of Reinforced Polymer Concrete

Abstract

This article considers the prospects of the application of building structures made of polymer concrete composites on the basis of strength analysis. The issues of application and structure of polymer-concrete mixtures are considered. Features of the stress-strain state of normal sections of polymer concrete beams are revealed. The dependence between the stresses and relative deformations of rubber polymer concretes and beams containing reinforcement frame and fiber reinforcement has been determined. The main direction of the study was the choice of ways to increase the strength characteristics of concrete with the addition of a polymer base and to increase the reliability of structures in general. The paper presents the results of experimental and mathematical studies of the stress-strain state and strength, as well as deflections of reinforced rubber-polymer beams. The peculiarities of fracture of reinforced rubber-polymer beams along their sections have been revealed according to the results of the experiment. The peculiarities of fracture formation of reinforced rubber-polymer beams have also been revealed. The conducted work has shown that the share of longitudinal reinforcement and the height of the fibrous reinforcement zone are the main factors. These reasons determine the characteristics of the strength of the beams and their resistance to destructive influences. The importance and scientific novelty of the work are the identified features of the stress-strain state of normal sections of rubber-concrete beams, namely, it has been established that the ultimate strength in axial compression and tension, deformations corresponding to the ultimate strength for rubber concrete exceed similar parameters for cement concrete 2.5–6.5 times. In the case of the addition of fiber reinforcement, this increase becomes, respectively, 3.0–7.5 times.

Carbon Dioxide Uptake by Brazilian Cement-Based Materials

“…Kim [49] highlighted the latest breakthroughs in cement and concrete research, including novel strategies for lowering carbon dioxide emissions in Portland cement production, such as the development of new building materials [50], and the development of mathematical modeling of the reliability of new composite materials [51]. Furthermore, it is necessary to highlight the importance of the prediction of the performance properties and reliability of new building materials [52]. For instance, AL-Kharabsheh et al [50] suggested the partial replacement of Portland cement clinker in cement with wooden ash and studied its effect on concrete compressive strength and durability, concluding that 10% is the optimum replacement.…”

Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning Models for Predicting Crack Propagation under Coupled Load and Temperature

“…ABS, concrete, and aluminum are widely used materials in industries, such as automotive, construction, and aerospace. Understanding crack propagation in these materials is of practical significance for ensuring the reliability and durability of structures made from them [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. By evaluating the performance of machine learning models on these materials, the study can provide insights and guidance for real-world applications, aiding in the design and maintenance of structures involving ABS, concrete, and aluminum.…”
