This paper presents a new conception of shear behaviour of box concrete beams reinforced by composite fabrics. For this purpose, stirrups, wire meshes as shear reinforcement were used. Seven box section concrete beams were tested using two-point loading system. Beams with tensar wire mesh exhibited increasing in ultimate failure load, shear capacity and deflection with respect to beams used fiber-glass wire mesh instead of stirrups. Nonlinear finite element analysis was conducted using finite element program of ANSYS 14.5 to verify the experimental test program. An acceptable acceptance found between the experimental and numerical results.

As a new type of composite structural system, the prestressed steel reinforced ultra-high strength concrete (PSRUHC) beam was applicable to large-span structures and those structures which must bearing heavy loading. But by now there is no mature calculation method for the beam with a good accuracy. So the experiment on eight post-tensioned bonded prestressed steel reinforced ultra-high strength concrete beams had been carried out to investigate the flexural performance of PSRUHC beams. Based on the test results, the flexural capacity of PSRUHC beams were analysed by the large general-purpose finite element program ANSYS. Compared the simulation results of cracking load, ultimate load, yielding load and load-displacement curve with the test results, it is proved that the numerical method is effective for analyzing flexural capacity of prestressed steel reinforced ultra-high strength concrete beams, which provides theoretical foundation for practical application of PSRUHC beam.

Viscoplastic Models

The feasibility of a viscoplastic model incorporating two back stresses and a drag strength is investigated for performing nonlinear finite element analyses of structural engineering problems. The model has recently been put forth by Freed and Walker. The feasibility of the viscoplastic model is demonstrated for nonlinear structural analyses by implementing the model into a finite element program and performing nonlinear finite element analyses for several uniaxial and multiaxial problems. Good agreement is shown to exist between the results obtained using the finite element implementation and those obtained experimentally. The advantages of using advanced viscoplastic models for performing nonlinear finite element analyses of structural components are indicated.
