Description
Summary:This study reviews an alternative of reinforced concrete finite element model as a system, where physical conditions for system components are recorded independently and, in addition, conditions for interaction of system components on their contact are also introduced. In this case, we are able to take into account all specific features of reinforcement, to trace the history of loading and destruction for each rebar. Basic specific feature of reviewed problem ascertains the necessity to use nonâ€linear stressâ€strain ratio in reinforced concrete with consideration of specific features of reinforced concrete activity after cracking. Naturally, functional dependence describing this ratio varies along with the progress of rebars corrosion. Exactly, corrosion of rebars is the key reason for timeâ€dependent quality degrading of reinforced concrete structures. This problem stands for more urgency with respect to structures in seismic sensitive zones since such corrosion of rebars leads to deviations of the structure rigidity characteristics and, in turn, it may lead to an reduction of bearing capability in certain elements or to an increase of displacements to intolerable high values. This study proposes a clarified procedure to solve planeâ€stressed problem for reinforced concrete. The specific feature of this procedure assumes an application of new approximation for nonâ€linear concrete strain diagram, development of a detailed finite element model for reproduction of effect generated under concrete/rebar bond forces, as well as such considerable timeâ€dependent factors as concrete creep and rebar corrosion.
