  • bending behaviour of novel textile reinforced concrete foamed concrete trc fc sandwich elements
    Composite Structures, 2017
    Co-Authors: Natalie Williams Portal, Mathias Flansbjer, Kamyab Zandi, Lech Wlasak, Katarina Malaga
    Abstract:

    A novel sandwich element design consisting of two facings made of carbon reinforced Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC), a low density foamed concrete (FC) core and glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) connecting devices was experimentally investigated according to quasi-static and cyclic quasi-static four-point bending. Optical measurements based on Digital Image Correlation (DIC) were taken during testing to enable a detailed analysis of the bending behaviour and level of Composite Action. A model, verified by the experiments, was developed based on non-linear finite element analysis (NLFEA) to gain further insight on the failure mechanisms. Under both loading conditions, the bending behaviour of the TRC-FC Composite elements was characterized by favourable load bearing capacity, partial Composite Action, superior ductility and multiple fine cracking. The connecting devices were found to be the critical elements causing the initial failure mechanism in the form of localized pull-out within an element.

  • Composite Behaviour of Textile Reinforced Reactive Powder Concrete Sandwich Façade Elements
    International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials, 2018
    Co-Authors: Mathias Flansbjer, Natalie Williams Portal, Daniel Vennetti, Urs Mueller
    Abstract:

    Within the EC funded project smart elements for sustainable building envelopes, carbon textile reinforcement was incorporated into reactive powder concrete, namely textile reinforced reactive powder concrete (TRRPC), to additionally improve the post-cracking behaviour of the cementitious matrix. This high-performance Composite material was included as outer and inner façade panels in prefabricated and non-load bearing sandwich elements along with low density foamed concrete (FC) and glass fibre reinforced polymer continuous connecting devices. Experiments and finite element analysis (FEA) were applied to characterize the structural performance of the developed sandwich elements. The mechanical behaviour of the individual materials, components and large-scale elements were quantified. Four-point bending tests were performed on large-scale TRRPC-FC sandwich element beams to quantify the flexural capacity, level of Composite Action, resulting deformation, crack propagation and failure mechanisms. Optical measurements based on digital image correlation were taken simultaneously to enable a detailed analysis of the underlying Composite Action. The structural behaviour of the developed elements was found to be highly dependent on the stiffness and strength of the connectors to ensure Composite Action between the two TRRPC panels. As for the FEA, the applied modelling approach was found to accurately describe the stiffness of the sandwich elements at lower load levels, while describing the stiffness in a conservative manner after the occurrence of connector failure mechanisms.
