Sensitivity study on accuracy and relevant parameters in numerical modeling of internal tendon breaks

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the numerical modeling of internal tendon breaks in prestressed concrete structures and evaluates the key parameters affecting accuracy. A combined approach is followed, involving global sensitivity analysis via the Elementary Effects Method and subsequent model calibration using experimental data from distributed fiber‐

Experimental investigation and design method of the general anchorage zone in the ring beam of prestressed concrete containment vessels

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology
Ring beam is the main anchorage zone of the tendons in the nuclear power prestressed concrete containment vessel (PCCV). Its safety is crucial and has a great influence on the overall performance of PCCV.

A method for determining the performance of formulas for calculating the crack width and spacing in reinforced concrete elements

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Numerous studies have been conducted to determine the performance of formulas for calculating crack width and spacing in reinforced concrete structures. Generally, these studies pay limited attention to the application areas of those formulas and how to compare different representations of the crack width and spacing.

The challenges of GFRP RC beam design for limit states

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars are used ever more frequently in concrete construction due to their non‐corrosive and anti‐magnetic properties. Their research over the past decades focused on fundamental questions, such as the design aspects of beams under flexural loads.

Probabilistic estimation of reliable sensor spacing for wire break detection in prestressed concrete using acoustic emission technique

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The acoustic emission (AE) technique has proven to be an effective method for detecting individual wire breaks in prestressed concrete structures affected by stress corrosion cracking (SCC). However, despite its widespread application, the quantitative assessment of AE monitoring reliability and optimal sensor placement remains unresolved ...

Study on the Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Prestressed Containment Anchor Zone in New High-Strength Concrete

open access: yesApplied Sciences
High-strength concrete (HPC/UHPC) provides a new way to optimize the performance of nuclear power containment, but the mechanism of its application in the bi-directional dense anchorage zone is not clear.

Identification of invisible damage in prestressed concrete bridges—A demonstrator case using coda wave interferometry

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract During their life cycle, prestressed concrete bridges are prone to wire breaks of their tendons due to fatigue or stress corrosion cracking. However, not all structures show visible cracking on the surface, which would provide timely warning of otherwise invisible damage. Brittle failure may occur.

Mechanical, rheological, and durability performances of GGBS‐based concrete for potential application to prestressed structures

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Ground granulated blast‐furnace slag (GGBS) is a widely used clinker substitute in concrete, recognized for its potential to significantly reduce environmental impacts. However, its application in prestressed concrete remains limited in several countries, mainly due to concerns regarding early‐age mechanical performance and long‐term ...
