Abstract
- The goal of the present work is to investigate the influence of concrete on failure mode and stress distribution of the reinforced concrete specimens under axial tension by using a numerical test code named Realistic Failure Process Analysis. It can be found that, the periodically distributed fracture spacing phenomenon and tension stiffening phenomenon exist in the failure process of the reinforced concrete structure. Besides, the effect of concrete characteristics on the mechanical behavior and crack spacing of reinforced concrete was also studied in three samples with different concrete strength. The concrete strength value is considered to be an important factor not only to significantly influence the average crack spacing but also to influence the initial peak load of the specimen. In addition, the average fracture spacing is increased and the initial peak load is also increase with the increasing of the concrete strength value, but the mechanical capacities of the concrete has little influence on the ultimate load capacities of the specimen. Keywords: Numerical test; reinforcement concrete, crack distribution, 3D
