Thus, it is necessary to study its behavior under these stresses. • Components of concrete are elastic, and brittle. However, the behavior of the hardened mixture is nonlinear & ductile. • This behavior is due to the gradual formation of microcracks within the specimen. • 30% to 40% of Compressive Strength. Bond cracks in the paste-aggregate interface, however, the behavior is linear. • Discontinuity Limit. Beyond 50% or 60%, this marks the formation of the mortar cracks between bond cracks. • Critical Stress. At 75% to 80%, the behavior becomes more nonlinear, and this marks the onset. STRESS-STRAIN CHARACTERISTICS STRESS-STRAIN CHARACTERISTICS STRESS-STRAIN CHARACTERISTICS MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH • • • • • ASTM C31: Standard Practice for Making and Curing Concrete Test Specimens in the Field ASTM C39: Standard Test Method for Compressive Strength of Cylindrical Concrete Specimens The testing method involves cylindrical concrete specimens 6in in diameter and 12in in height. 4in by 8in cylinders are now accepted as stated in ACI Section 26.12.1.1. The standard compressive strength also refers to the strength of concrete at 28 days. STATISTICAL VARIATIONS IN CONCRETE STRENGTH • For a compressive strength test with a sample size of 176: โช Average strength is 3940psi โช Lowest strength is 2020psi โช Highest strength is 6090psi • Variations in the actual results from the target strength maybe caused by variations in material proportioning, transporting, placing, compacting of the specimens.

Concrete cracks at a lower tensile strength than in Zone 1 and under uniaxial tension. The lower tensile strength is the result of limiting tensile strain than strength. โ A and A’ and Zone 3 โช โช Concrete is under uniaxial compression, Failure is governed by tensile cracks parallel to the compressive stresses, โ A-C-A’ and Zone 4 โช โช โช โช Concrete is under biaxial compression. Tensile cracks form parallel to the unloaded side. This loading delays cracking and results to a more ductile concrete. It also results to greater compressive strength. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE Biaxial Loading of Uncracked, Unreinforced Concrete โ B-D-B’ and Zone 1 โช Failure occurs when concrete cracks. โ A-B and A’-B’ and Zone 2 โช โช Failure occurs when concrete cracks. This happens to concrete in the web of beams. โ A and A’ and Zone 3 โช โช Concrete is under uniaxial compression, This happens to concrete under split-cylinder test. โ A-C-A’ and Zone 4 โช โช โช Concrete is under biaxial compression. Failure occurs when concrete is crushed. For a well-reinforced concrete, failure occurs through crushing because the reinforcement prevents failure through cracking.

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE Stress-Strain Curve for NormalWeight Concrete in Compression Establishing the Mathematical Model for the Stress-Strain Curve of Concrete in Compression 1. Initial Tangent Modulus of Elasticity increases with increasing compressive strength. 2. The rising portion of the stress-strain curve resembles a parabola with its vertex at the maximum stress. 3. The strain at maximum stress increases as the concrete strength increases. 4. The slope of the descending branch for concrete strength up to 6000psi is flatter than the ascending branch; and increases with increasing strength. 5. The maximum strain reached decreases with increasing concrete strength. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE Equations for Compressive Stress-Strain Diagrams: Modified Hognestad โช Represents the stress-strain curve of concrete having strengths up to 6000psi. โช Consists of a second-degree parabola o Apex stress ๐′′๐ = 0.9๐′๐ 1.8๐′′๐ o Apex strain ๐0 = ๐ธ๐ o Terminating stress ๐๐ข = 0.85๐′๐ o Limiting strain ๐๐๐ข = 0.0038 โช The reduced strength ๐′′๐ = 0.9๐′๐ accounts for the differences between cylinder strength and member strength (e.g., concrete in beams).

ASTM A706 • Standard Specification for Low-Alloy Steel Deformed and Plain Bars for • This standard is used for bars with special applications where weldability, bendability, or ductility is important. • This standard requires bars to have longer elongation at failure and shorter bend test results (higher bendability). ASTM A996 • Standard Specification for Rail-Steel and Axle-Steel Deformed Bars • This standard is used for bars produced from discarded railroad rails or train car axles. • It is less ductile and less bendable than A615 steel and not widely available PROPERTIES OF REINFORCEMENT HOT-ROLLED DEFORMED BARS PROPERTIES OF REINFORCEMENT 300MPa HOT-ROLLED DEFORMED BARS 420MPa 520MPa HOT-ROLLED DEFORMED BARS PROPERTIES OF REINFORCEMENT PROPERTIES OF REINFORCEMENT HOT-ROLLED DEFORMED BARS MECHANICAL PROPERTIES: Less pronounced Yield Strength Yield Strength Tangent Modulus of Elasticity, ๐ธ๐ = 29000๐๐ ๐ PROPERTIES OF REINFORCEMENT HOT-ROLLED DEFORMED BARS MECHANICAL PROPERTIES: YIELD STRENGTH Histogram of Mill-Test Yield Strengths for Grade 60 Reinforcement 9.3% Coeff. of Variation • These mill tests are performed at a high rate of loading. • The static yield strength is determined for test at slower rates, which is 4ksi less than the mill-test yield strength. PROPERTIES OF REINFORCEMENT HOT-ROLLED DEFORMED BARS MECHANICAL PROPERTIES: FATIGUE STRENGTH o Structural fatigue is caused by cyclic loads such as those on bridge decks. o Cyclic loads cause repeated cycles of tension and compression stresses. o Failure occurs when extremes stresses are tensile. o Lower than 20,000 cycles, fatigue is not an issue for deformed bars. o Fatigue strength is independent of yield strength. o Fatigue failure may occur in the vicinity of welds or bends when the stress range exceeds 10ksi. o Fatigue strength decreases when: • Stress range increases • The lower stress in a cycle is reduced.

ASTM A185 • Standard Specification for Steel Welded Wire Reinforcement, Plain ASTM A496 • Standard Specification for Steel Wire, Deformed ASTM A497 • Standard Specification for Steel Welded Wire Reinforcement, Deformed • • • • This reinforcement depends on crosswires to provide mechanical anchorage with the concrete. For deformed-wire fabric, the deformations provide additional anchorage. The minimum yield and tensile strength for smooth wire are 65ksi and 75si. The minimum yield and tensile strength for deformed wire are 70ksi and 80ksi PROPERTIES OF REINFORCEMENT WELDED-WIRE REINFORCEMENT PROPERTIES OF REINFORCEMENT WELDED-WIRE REINFORCEMENT CODES OF PRACTICE ASSIGNMENT Give five (5) other mathematical models for the stress-strain curve of concrete in compression.
