Modeling the response of UHPC shear‐critical beams: Integrating nonlinear finite element analysis and artificial neural network

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract An analytical framework suited for the analysis of shear‐critical ultra‐high performance concrete (UHPC) members is presented. The numerical methodology utilizes a nonlinear finite element analysis formulation integrated with an artificial neural network (ANN) that characterizes the UHPC tension response based on its mix design. In addition, a

Impact of half‐joint failures on RC girder bridges: A robustness quantification study

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The robustness of bridge structures is critical to ensuring safety and service continuity, particularly in aging infrastructure exposed to degradation and unexpected loads. Reinforced concrete (RC) half‐joint bridges—widely built in Italy between the 1950s and 1970s—exhibit specific vulnerabilities due to inspection challenges, durability ...

Strip loading in steel fiber reinforced concrete: Experimental and theoretical investigation

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Fiber reinforced concrete is becoming increasingly popular in engineering practice due to its high robustness, post‐cracking behavior, and crack control. For strip loading, as common, for example, in longitudinal joints of tunnel lining segments, the use of fiber reinforced concrete has the potential to reduce conventional reinforcement ...

Incremental upper bound modeling of concrete failures in timber‐concrete notched connections

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper introduces a novel theoretical framework for developing incremental upper bound solutions, which is applied to predict the response of two local concrete failures in timber‐concrete composite (TCC) decks with notched connections. The new approach enables a prediction of the capacity at the onset of failure as well as the entire post‐
