Dynamic displacement analysis of reinforced concrete deep beams made of high strength concrete. Part III: Analysis of dynamic displacement of a reinforced concrete deep beam made of high strength C300 grade concrete

Abstract

This work demonstrates an analysis of the displacement state of rectangular concrete deep beams made of very high strength concrete grade C300 under a dynamic load, including the physical nonlinearity of construction materials: concrete and reinforcing steel. The analysis was conducted with the method presented in [1]. Numerical solution results are presented with particular reference to the displacement state of a rectangular concrete deep beam. The work confirmed the accuracy of the assumptions and deformation models of concrete and steel as well as the effectiveness of the methods of analysis proposed in the paper [1] for the problems of numerical simulation of the behaviour of reinforced concrete deep beams under dynamic loads. A comparative analysis was conducted on the effect of the high-strength concrete and the steel of increased strength on the displacement of a grade C300 concrete deep beam vs. the results produced in [10] for grade C100 and C200 concrete deep beams. Keywords: mechanics of structures, reinforced concrete structures, deep beams, dynamic load, physical nonlinearity.
