Six real-size beams were tested in order to examine the reliability of tension lap splices for the minimum requirements of clear cover, spacing between bars and transverse reinforcement. The beams were prepared in accordance with the minimum provisions of the American Concrete Institute building code requirements for structural concrete (ACI 318-08) and the Turkish standards on requirements for design and construction of reinforced concrete structures (TS 500). Results showed that all beams prepared in accordance with ACI 318-08 showed satisfactory behaviour. Since the specimen prepared according to TS 500 with 26 mm diameter bars failed due to bond, it can be concluded that the TS 500 clear cover is insufficient for spliced bars equal to or greater than 26 mm in diameter. In order to evaluate the ACI Committee 408 new proposal and Eurocode 2 provision for tension lap splices, a case study was also conducted. According to the results of the case study, while the ACI 318-08 requires unnecessarily longer splice lengths for bars of greater than 19 mm diameter, Eurocode 2 always gives the smallest lap splice length which leads to safety concerns.

Prediction of automobile tire cornering force characteristics by finite element modeling and analysis Tönük, Ergin; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim (2001-05-01) In this study, a detailed finite element model of a radial automobile tire is constructed for the prediction of cornering force characteristics during the design stage. The nonlinear stress-strain relationship of rubber as well as a linear elastic approximation, reinforcement, large displacements, and frictional ground contact are modeled. Validity of various simplifications is checked. The cornering force characteristics obtained by the finite element tire model are verified on the experimental setup const...
Evaluation of elastomeric bearing performance at low temperatures Yakut, Ahmet (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2002-08-01) Recent studies on elastomeric bearings led to changes in the design specifications, which tend to indicate that bearings fabricated in the past, would fail the current test requirements. This is contrary to the fact that there have been no reported problems of poor bearing performance in low-temperature regions. AASHTO requires low-temperature tests to determine the change in the shear modulus, which is limited to a certain value. This criterion does not adequately address the performance of the bearings, b...
Comparison of code provisions on lap splices Canbay, Erdem (2007-09-10) The code provisions on lap splices are critically assessed in the light of 203 beams without transverse reinforcement and 278 beams with transverse reinforcement. For comparison, the provisions given in the ACI 318, Eurocode 2, and TS 500 Codes are considered. The ACI Committee 408 recommended provision and a new proposal are also taken into account throughout the assessment. The comparison with real beam tests where the splice region was subjected to constant moment indicates that current provisions in the...
DEVELOPMENT OF BOLTED FLANGE DESIGN TOOL BASED ON FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS AND ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK Yildirim, Alper; Kayran, Altan; Gulasik, Hasan; Çöker, Demirkan; Gürses, Ercan (2015-11-19) In bolted flange connections, commonly utilized in aircraft engine designs, structural integrity and minimization of the weight are achieved by the optimum combination of the design parameters utilizing the outcome of Many structural analyses. Bolt size, the number of bolts, bolt locations, casing thickness, flange thickness, bolt preload, and axial external force are some of the critical design parameters in bolted flange connections. Theoretical analysis and finite element analysis (FEA) are two main appr...
Estimation of lining thickness around circular shafts Ozturk, H; Unal, E (2001-06-22) In this paper, the broken zone developing, around a circular mine shafts and lining pressure is estimated by integrating the results of numerical analysis and the "rock-load height" equation derived from empirical analysis. During numerical modelling studies, the computer program FLAC(2D) was utilized. In order to estimate equivalent Mohr failure Envelope from the generalised Hoek Brown failure criterion, a new FISH function was written within FLAC(2D). Parametric studies were carried out by considering mRM...
