EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION OF SMEARED ANALYSIS FOR PLAIN CONCRETE IN TORSION

摘要: This is the second of two papers concerned with development and application a smeared crack model for description behavior concrete elements in torsion. The first paper presented an efficient torsional analysis that utilizes special numerical technique, which properly adapted to include approach. presents validation analytical by providing comparisons between analytically predicted curves experimentally obtained ones. experimental data used this comprise series tests pure torsion conducted purpose database information compiled from works around world, attempt establish validity proposed approach based on broad range parametric studies. From measured data, it concluded describes very well element...
