This paper investigates the local and structural response of box girder bridge decks strengthened using CFRP （carbon fiber reinforced polymers） under close-in detonations. Due to the lack of experimental research on this topic, the study is conducted using the explicit finite element computer program LS-DY-NA. The numerical study will be verified using the results of strengthened reinforced concrete slabs under field detonations. The blast load was assumed to be detonated above the bridge deck. The key parameters investigated are the charge size, and the strengthening location on the deck. This paper will present the results of this investigation and provides recommendations for predicting the local damage level based on the CFRP strengthening design under blast threat.展开更多

It represents a massive structural system with brick walls up to 54 cm thick and ＂avramenko＂ type reinforced concrete floors. The investor＇s aim was to add another two floors on the top of the existing ones and to build two level underground parking floors, a health spa centre, whilst at the vicinity of the existing building （the northern side） to erect a new 17 story-high brand new hotel and administration building. The retrofitting of the structure as well as construction of the new structure has been done in full accordance with the new structural Eurocodes＇ recommendations. 3D FEM （finite element method） modeling was used for the analysis and design, using ETABS v 9.5 nonlinear and ARSAP 2010 （Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2010）. Response spectrum design according to EC 8,3.2.2.4 has been used for seismic analysis and design with a reference peak ground acceleration on type A ground Of AgR = 0.25 g.展开更多

Analyses were based on： （1） standard fire curve [EN 1991-1-2]; （2） 500℃isotherm method assumptions [EN 1992-1-2]; （3） mechanical properties of reinforcing steel heated up to high temperature. Afterwards, based on estimated decrease of cross-sections stiffness, the redistribution of bending moments was calculated in some cases of two-span RC beams and slabs subjected to fire from their bottom face. Due to the bending moment redistribution, one could expect a reduction of bending moments in span cross-sections and an increase of support bending moment. As a result of this phenomenon, the ultimate limit state of the structural multi span elements might occur after shorter fire duration than it could be expected when redistribution of bending moments is neglected.展开更多
