New damage accumulation models are proposed to describe the fatigue damage evolution in concrete and reinforcement respectively. Based on the stress analysis for cross section, the stress redistrbution in the fatigue damage process, due to the different damage mechanisms of concrete and reinforcement, is considered. The nonlinear damage analysis is achieved by means of piecewise linearity, and it is applicable on the condition of repeated loadings with variable amplitude. Fatigue damage modeling of a beam is implemented to illustrate that the proposed method can preferably fit the experimental results.展开更多

Firstly, the stress redistributions are investigated on two conditions: one condition is that interfacial damage is taken into account and the other is not. Then, a micro-statistical analysis of the multiple tensile failures of the rebar was performed by using the random critical-core theory. The results indicate that the predictions of the tensile failure strains of the rebar, in which the interfacial damage is taken into account, are in better agreement with the existing experimental results than those when only elastic case is considered. Through the comparison between the theoretical and experimental results, the shear-lag theory and the model are verified feasibly in studying the claviform hybrid composite rebar.展开更多

Before the fiber breakage, the stresses of all fibers are identical. With the creep time increasing, stress in fiber increases but stress in matrix decreases. It is assumed that the fiber breakage occurs when the stress in fiber reaches a critical value. The stress redistribution resulted from the breakage of fiber has been obtained. The influence on the axial stress of the broken fiber is local. The stress in the all fiber sections is not uniform. There is a local stress concentration in the matrix. And this stress concentration in the matrix is more and more serious with the creep deformation. The stress transference of the loading due to the fiber breakage has been studies numerically. It is found that the fibers near to the broken fiber will take over more loading.展开更多
