Abstract

To improve the fragile nature of concrete, its low tensile strength, and a view to giving it the desired properties, which serve to build more durable structures at less cost, the association of a self-consolidating concrete with fiber, is considered a wise combination. However, given the limited amount of research on the response of SFSCC structures, designers and engineers do not use this material with confidence. In the present work, an experimental companion was conducted to examine the combined effect of fibers and stirrups, including the low and high rate of steel fiber, on the behavior of SFSCC beams. This choice allowed working on economically viable SFSCC. Beams were also madewith ordinary concrete and others with self-consolidating. Thirty-six beams were of identical cross-section 10x20cm and length of 120cm; carried out with or without longitudinal and transverse reinforcement. Before proceeding with the main part of the research program, the concrete mixtures were characterized first in the fresh state by the following tests: Slump Flow, Time Flow T500; J-Ring, L-Box, V-Funnel, and Sieve stability, and then in the hardened state: compressive and tensile strengths. In the light of the results obtained, it was found that adding steel fibers to fresh self-consolidating concrete decreased its workability and fluidity but improved its hardening properties. Subsequently, the addition of the steel fibers increased the flexural capacity of the beams significantly and enhanced their ductility. Also, an addition of the steel fibers in an adequate percentage, in this case at 0.90%, made it possible to replace the shear reinforcements and can lead to changing the mode of failure from a collapse by brittle shear to a mechanism of ruin in ductile bending.

Abstract

The dynamic analysis of bridges simulated as Euler-Bernoulli beam models with elastic supports subjected to mobile loads are analyzed by conventional methods to obtain a new solution for displacement. Generally, these beam supports can be characterized by springs with a given stiffness, which considerably influence the structure's dynamic behavior and even attenuate the dynamic amplification. The solutions proposed until now are defined only on span but not supports. In this paper, we used Green's function, considering boundary and continuity conditions and shear force to study the global behavior of the beam. A new displacement formula is proposed for the beam to support a span according to the velocity of the mobile load, the beam rigidity, and the stiffness of supports. A further study leads to the present two new formulas, which directly give displacements at the level of supports according only to the beam rigidity and supports stiffness and to the load value at any time. The result of this analysis shows that several combined factors influence the vibratory behavior of the beam when it is supported on elastically supports, namely the stiffness of the supports, the rigidity of the beam, its length, the value of the mobile load, and its velocity. The evolution of support stiffness leads to classical boundary conditions. A study of coupling between the beam and supports is presented, with the study of the comportment in function to the ratio between the beam rigidity and spring stiffness.
