Thickness of concrete cover positively affects both the protection of the steel against corrosion and the safe transmission of bond forces. On the other hand it affects Crack control inversely, larger concrete cover causes larger crack width, and as a result it yields reduction in the protection of the steel against corrosion. The influence of the distance between the centroid of the longitudinal reinforcement to the neutral axis, and the stress in the tension steel, on the crack width and Crack control, will be examined. Computations will be done using personal computer program developed for nonlinear analysis of rectangular reinforced concrete sections in flexure. The analysis is performed using Stress-strain relationship for confined concrete: parabola – rectangle with decending branch to 0.3 fc at Ecu, followed by horizontal branch. Stress-strain diagram for reinforcing steel, with an inclined top branch with a strain limit of E su . Beams and slabs elements sections will be examined for the flexural moments from the external loads acting at serviceability limit state. This paper will introduce by computing the concrete fibers stresses and strains over the height of the section, for different element thickness, the influence of tension steel stresses and concrete cover thickness on crack control and corrosion protection of steel reinforcement.

A method for determining the stress–strain relationship of a material from hardness values H obtained from cone indentation tests with various apical angles is presented. The materials studied were assumed to exhibit power-law hardening. As a result, the properties of importance are the Young's modulus E, yield strength Y, and the work-hardening exponent n. Previous work [W.C. Oliver and G.M. Pharr, J. Mater. Res. 7, 1564 (1992)] showed that E can be determined from initial force–displacement data collected while unloading the indenter from the material. Consequently, the properties that need to be determined are Y and n. Dimensional analysis was used to generalize H/E so that it was a function of Y/E and n [Y-T. Cheng and C-M. Cheng, J. Appl. Phys. 84, 1284 (1999); Philos. Mag. Lett. 77, 39 (1998)]. A parametric study of Y/E and n was conducted using the finite element method to model material behavior. Regression analysis was used to correlate the H/E findings from the simulations to Y/E and n. With the a priori knowledge of E, this correlation was used to estimate Y and n.

Nonlinear oscillations of a simply-supported symmetric cross-ply composite laminated rectangular thin plate are investigated in this paper. The rectangular thin plate is subjected to the transversal and in-plane excitations. Based on the Reddy’s third-order shear deformation plate theory and the stress-strain relationship of the composite laminated plate, a two-degree-of-freedom non-autonomous nonlinear system governing equations of motions for the composite laminated rectangular thin plate is derived by using the Galerkin’s method. Numerical simulations illustrate that there exist complex nonlinear oscillations for composite laminated rectangular thin plate.

Stress-strain relationship of geomaterials is important to numerical analysis in geotechnical engineering. It is difficult to be represented by conventional constitutive model accurately. Artificial neural network (ANN) has been proposed as a more effective approach to represent this complex and nonlinear relationship, but ANN itself still has some limitations that restrict the applicability of the method. In this paper, an alternative method, support vector machine (SVM), is proposed to simulate this type of complex constitutive relationship. The SVM model can overcome the limitations of ANN model while still processing the advantages over the traditional model. The application examples show that it is an effective and accurate modeling approach for stress-strain relationship representation for geomaterials.
