AN EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL STUDY OF BALLISTIC PERFORMANCE OF SFRC STRUCTURES

2016-05-13
This contribution is concerned with the experimental and numerical study of ballistic performance of steel fiber reinforced concrete structures. For this purpose, three different types of panels, made of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC), slurry-infiltrated concrete (SIFCON), and ceramic composite (CC), have been tested under high velocity impact of a rigid projectile. Explicit Finite Element analyses aiming at capturing the experimental residual velocities for the SFRC and SIFCON panels have also been conducted. It was found that the use of ceramic in a layered structure of SFRC and SIFCON mixtures improves the ballistic performance of SFRC structures.

Parameter optimization of steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete by statistical design and analysis of experiments
Ayan, Elif; Saatçioğlu, Ömer; Department of Industrial Engineering (2004)
This thesis illustrates parameter optimization of compressive strength, flexural strength and impact resistance of steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete (SFRHSC) by statistical design and analysis of experiments. Among several factors affecting the compressive strength, flexural strength and impact resistance of SFRHSC, five parameters that maximize all of the responses have been chosen as the most important ones as age of testing, binder type, binder amount, curing type and steel fiber volume fract...
Determination of the Tensile Strength of Different Fiber Reinforced Concrete Mixtures
Ardoğa, Mehmet Kemal; Alam, Burhan; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (null; 2016-09-21)
Enhancing the tensile performance of concrete is the main advantage when fibers are added to this type of building materials. This improvement is usually measured through indirect methods like bending or split-tensile tests, in a way similar to normal concrete due to the absence of a standard tensile test for such purpose. Naturally, this type of tests does not determine the real tensile strength of the fiber reinforced concrete. Hence an important parameter, that is needed in modelling and designing proces...
Investigation of the relationship of seismic intensity measures and the accumulation of damage on concrete gravity dams using incremental dynamic analysis
Soysal, BERAT FEYZA; Binici, Barış; Arıcı, Yalın (2016-04-25)
Nonlinear analysis tools are gaining prominence for the design and evaluation of concrete gravity dams. The performance limits of concrete gravity dams within the framework of performance based design are challenging to determine in comparison to those used for the assessments based on linear elastic analyses. The uncertainty in quantifying the behavior of these systems and the strong dependence of the behavior on the ground motion play an important role. The purpose of the study is to quantify the damage l...
A numerical study on response factors for steel wall-frame systems
Arslan, Hakan; Topkaya, Cem (Wiley, 2010-11-01)
A numerical investigation was undertaken to evaluate the response of dual structural systems that consisting of steel plate shear walls and moment-resisting frames. The primary objective of the study was to investigate the influence of elastic base shear distribution between the wall and the frame on the global system response. A total of 10 walls and 30 wall frame systems, ranging from 3 to 15 stories, were selected for numerical assessment. These systems represent cases in which the elastic base shear res...
Experimental and numerical analysis of a bolted connection in steel transmission towers
Baran, Eray; Sen, Gokmen; Draisawi, Ammar (2016-06-01)
This paper presents an integrated numerical and experimental study on a bolted splice connection used in main legs of steel lattice transmission towers. At specific locations, where the number of angle sections in built-up cross section of main leg members changes, the complex geometry around the connection region results in eccentricities in the load path and indirect load transfer. Such complex configurations and uncertainties in the load path have led to overdesigned connections with increased number of ...
