The study presents the design forces of simply supported single cell reinforced concrete RC curved box girder bridges using a finite element method FEM based CSiBridge software An existing model has been used to validate the present modelling approach Models subjected to vertical loading dead load DL and Indian road congress live load
The bond slip in an RC structure mainly comprises chemical adhesive force friction resistance and mechanical bite force These three types of forces are difficult to measure directly; further the bond properties at the interface between the reinforcement and concrete are extremely complex owing to the influence of the surrounding environment
Column and beam jacketing involve the addition of a new layer of material typically reinforced concrete around existing structural elements Figure 3 This method enhances the load carrying capacity of columns and beams providing increased resistance to external forces Jacketing is often employed when the original structural elements are
concrete cover in the tension region of the reinforced concrete members and are bonded to the three sides of the groove using highstrength epoxy adhesive or cementitious grout Täljsten B and
The present study provides a critical overview of the state of the art existing condition assessment techniques for reinforced concrete bridges with an emphasis on current practice in North America
As the volume of corrosion products is about 2 6 times that of steel [11] circumferential tensile stress around the steel rebar is generated in the concrete cover with the accumulation of has been found from many experimental and numerical studies that only a few tens of micrometers in corrosion depth can cause concrete cracking under general
Existing reinforced concrete buildings constructed before the development of modern seismic design provisions represent one of the largest seismic safety concerns worldwide Such buildings are vulnerable to significant damage and even collapse when subjected to strong ground shaking The
enlarged by casting a new reinforced concrete/mortar section over a part or the entire length of the column The new section is bonded to the original se ction through anchor rebars or high strength
A simplified analytical model for reinforced concrete beam column joint behaviour is presented and proposed as a viable tool for extensive parametric studies of the seismic response of existing

For reinforced concrete columns strengthened using near surface mounted NSM steel bars lateral confinement with two layers GFRP strips two layers GFRP jacket and four layers GFRP jacket
The infill walls are not generally included in numerical analysis of reinforced concrete RC structural system due to lack of suitable theory and the difficulty of calculating the recommended models
Durability of reinforced concrete RC structures is affected by certain environmental conditions and operational actions which can reduce their lifetime significantly Among these actions this paper proposes a stochastic model that accounts for the combined effects of chloride induced corrosion climate change and cyclic loading Separately corrosion
Many well known parameters of the existing substructural RC pile should be described as follows pile diameter D=60 cm pile length L=30 m concrete cover thickness c= cm concrete compressive strength f c ′=245 kgf/cm 2 water cement ratio W/C= concrete creep coefficient ϕ cr = Poisson s ratio of concrete v c = steel
Properly designed and adapted to its environment reinforced concrete RC is an extremely durable material as the concrete is a protective barrier for the rebars This allowed the development of RC structures such as bridges dams or nuclear powerplants [2] [3] [4]
The purpose of this review is to summarize the damage of reinforced concrete RC structures after a severe occurrence of re Additionally to discuss the re ghting de ciencies
