This paper presents an investigation of the time development of dynamic and static elastic moduli of eight mortars made using CEM I cements with contrasting properties. Mixing and the preparation of dynamic testing prism specimens conformed to European standards. A nonstandard specimen and bending test setup was devised for measuring the development of a static Young's modulus. It was determined that dynamic Young's moduli determined using an ultrasonic pulse velocity test are often, but not always, greater than those determined using a resonant frequency test. The ratio of a static Young's modulus to a dynamic Young's modulus for a particular cement mortar increased nearly linearly with increasing static modulus after 3 days, and this increase can be predicted using the measured 3-day static modulus. In addition, methods for predicting the increase in the static and dynamic modulus and decrease in Poisson's ratio of mortars, from age 3 to 56 days, using measured 3-day elastic moduli, are presented. Predicted 56-day values of static Young's modulus, dynamic modulus, the ratio of these, and Poisson's ratio for the eight different mortars were within 5% of the measured values. The observed relations among different elastic properties may be useful for verification of prediction models. (C) 2014 American Society of Civil Engineers.

Effect of Presoaked Expanded Perlite Aggregate on the Dimensional Stability and Mechanical Properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites KESKİN, SÜLEYMAN BAHADIR; Sulaiman, Kamaran; Sahmaran, Mustafa; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013-06-01) This paper reports on an investigation of the use of expanded perlite aggregate as saturated lightweight aggregate (LWA) with respect to the mechanical and dimensional stability properties of engineered cemetitious composites (ECC). Expanded perlite aggregate was soaked in water for 24 h before its use in ECC, and replaced 10, 20, and 30% of the aggregate that was used in ECC production. The mixture proportion of a standard ECC mixture with properties that have been extensively reported in the literature is...
FINITE-ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF PRESTRESSED AND REINFORCED-CONCRETE STRUCTURES ELMEZAINI, N; CITIPITIOGLU, E (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 1991-10-01) A practical and powerful technique for the discrete representation of reinforcement in finite element analysis of prestressed and reinforced concrete structures is presented. Isoparametric quadratic and cubic finite elements with movable nodes are developed utilizing a correction technique for mapping distortion. Reinforcing bars and/or prestressing tendons are modeled independently of the concrete mesh. Perfect or no bond as well as any bond-slip model can easily be represented. The procedure is succes...
Analysis of the flexural strength of prestressed concrete flanged sections Baran, Eray; French, Catherine (Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute, 2005-01-01) Inconsistencies in the sectional response of prestressed concrete flanged sections predicted by the AASHTO LRFD and AASHTO Standard Specifications, including the maximum reinforcement limits, may arise due to different interpretations of the equivalent rectangular compressive stress block idealization. Strain compatibility analyses with nonlinear material properties were performed for a variety of non-rectangular prestressed concrete sections to identify the inconsistencies between the two specifications. R...
Assessment of improved nonlinear static procedures in FEMA-440 Akkar, Dede Sinan; Metin, Ash (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2007-09-01) Nonlinear static procedures (NSPs) presented in the FEMA-440 document are evaluated for nondegrading three- to nine-story reinforced concrete moment-resisting frame systems. Evaluations are based on peak single-degree-of-freedom displacement, peak roof, and interstory drifts estimations. A total of 78 soil site records and 24 buildings with fundamental periods varying between 0.3 s-1.3 s are used in 2,832 linear and nonlinear response-history analyses to derive the descriptive statistics. The moment magnitu...
Design of Retaining Walls Using Big Bang-Big Crunch Optimization Camp, Charles V.; Akin, Alper (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2012-03-01) A procedure is developed for designing low-cost or low-weight cantilever reinforced concrete retaining walls, with base shear keys, using big bang-big crunch (BB-BC) optimization. The objective of the optimization is to minimize the total cost or total weight per unit length of the retaining structure subjected to constraints on the basis of stability, bending moment, and shear force capacities and the requirements of the American Concrete Institute (ACI 318-05). An iterative population-based heuristic sear...
