Abstract:
In this paper, a theoretical concept is presented for the inelastic flexural deformation analysis of reinforced concrete bridge piers. The influence of shear-related inclined cracking on the flexural deformation behavior is taken into account using discontinuous stress fields for the determination of the chord forces. The goal is the development of a reliable mechanical model being able to describe the complete distribution of flexural deformations along the member and at all loading levels. The influence of various shear-carrying mechanisms on the spread of plasticity is discussed and the required mathematical relationships for a practical application are derived. The presented background gives both qualitative and quantitative insight into the phenomena and parameters influencing the flexural deformation behavior under the influence of shear-related tension shift. While the study focuses on the example of cantilever bridge piers with wall-type cross sections, the same concept can also be applied to more general members.

A mechanical approach for the inelastic flexural analysis of reinforced concrete bridge piers, presented in a companion paper, is applied and the results are compared to the experimental measurements from two large-scale tests. The details of the practical application are discussed and, based on the reference behavior from the experiments, the capabilities and limitations of the method are investigated. The approach uses discontinuous stress fields to account for the influence of shear on the flexural behavior and combines it with the tension chord model to include the bond-related interaction between concrete and reinforcement. Both the global and the local load-deformation behaviors are analyzed in the elastic and inelastic range, providing a complete description of the flexural response along the backbone of a cyclic load history.

The tension-softening parameters for different concrete-concrete interfaces are determined using the bimaterial cracked hinge model. Beams of different sizes having a jointed interface between two different strengths of concrete are tested under three-point bending (TPB). The load versus crack mouth opening displacement (CMOD) results are used to obtain the stress-crack opening relation through an inverse analysis. In addition, the fracture energy, tensile strength, and modulus of elasticity are also computed from the inverse analysis. The fracture properties are used in the nonlinear fracture mechanics analysis of a concrete patch-repaired beam to determine its load-carrying capacity when repaired with concrete of different strengths.

This paper presents the results of a study into shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams using externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets. The study focused on the effect of extending the length of sheet on the top surface of the beam to delay or prevent sheet debonding. Test variables were the kinds of fibers, the wrapping layouts, and the length of bonded anchorage. From the experiments, it was confirmed that FRP with bonded anchorage is much more effective than the U-wrap scheme. Extending the sheets on a top surface of the beam resulted in a decrease in interface bond stresses and an increase in FRP strain at failure. Four different models for estimating the contribution of FRP sheets to the shear capacity Vf of beams were investigated. Two new equations to calculate Vf are presented: when failure occurs due to sheet debonding and when the beams are provided with bonded anchorage at the top face of beams.
