Andisheh Zahedi et al.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of confinement on alkali-silica reaction-induced concrete damage development through mechanical testing. The Stiffness Damage Test was found to be a reliable method to assess damage under restrained conditions. Results showed that ASR-induced mechanical distress varies depending on coring direction and confinement configuration.

Jie Luo et al.

Summary: In this study, a 3D Rigid Body Spring Model (RBSM) was used to simulate alkali-silica reaction (ASR) expansion in reinforced concrete structures and quantify the effect of ASR damage on structural behavior by considering various parameters. The simulations accurately predicted the peak bond strength of concrete with different ASR damage levels and discussed the load-displacement curves of ASR damaged concrete.

Effect of Multi-directional Restraint Induced by Reinforced Steel Bars on ASR Expansion and Bond Performance

Pengfei Li et al.

Summary: In this study, the interaction between alkali-silica reaction (ASR) expansion and multi-directional reinforced steel bars was investigated, and the weakening mechanism of bond performance under this interaction was clarified. Experimental results showed that uniform reinforcement resulted in uniform concrete expansion and a relatively small volumetric expansion rate. The bond performance of specimens without stirrups increased when the volumetric expansion rate was lower than 0.2%; however, the bond performance of some specimens with stirrups increased when the volumetric expansion rate was lower than 0.3% due to the delaying effect of the stirrups on bond performance attenuation. A chemo-mechanical analysis method coupled with an ASR expansion model and a poro-mechanical model was also verified to accurately predict ASR expansion, stress-strain state, and bond damage caused by ASR.

An analytical investigation of bond deterioration between rebar and ASR/DEF-damaged concrete with and without stirrup confinement using 3D RBSM

Jie Luo et al.

Summary: This paper quantitatively studies the effect of ASR/DEF damage and stirrup confinement on the pullout behavior between concrete and reinforcement through parameter study and simulation. The results show that the bond stress decreases as the damage level rises in ASR damaged cases, while it keeps decreasing from the beginning in DEF damaged cases. Higher stirrup confinement can effectively mitigate bond deterioration in severe damage cases.

Discrete mechanical models of concrete fracture

John E. Bolander et al.

Summary: Discrete models of solids have been developed to study the discontinuous and heterogeneous nature of material structure and its breakdown under loading, offering novel means for investigating material structure-property relationships. However, lack of comprehensive understanding of both the advantages and disadvantages of discrete models limits their further development and applications. This paper reviews the application of discrete approaches in modeling the mechanical behavior of geomaterials, particularly concrete, classifying the models based on their form and abilities to represent elastic and fracture behaviors in the presence of large-scale material heterogeneity.

Evaluation of structures affected by Alkali-Silica reaction (ASR) using homogenized modelling of reinforced concrete

Daniela Vo et al.

Summary: The paper proposes a method using large finite elements to consider reinforcement and concrete as a homogenized material, which effectively reduces the number of finite elements and returns to a computation compatible with engineering. The model presented in this paper has the ability to handle the interaction between rebars and concrete affected by the Alkali-Silica Reaction, and can predict the anisotropic swelling induced by the combination of homogenized rebars and external loadings. Experimental results show the model's capability to assess residual strength capacity of reinforced concrete beams after long-term aging in a natural environment, and a parametric study confirms the model's predictive capability using a coarse mesh.

Mesoscale simulation of pull-out performance for corroded reinforcement with stirrup confinement in concrete by 3D RBSM

Kumar Avadh et al.

Summary: This study utilizes a 3D Rigid Body Spring Model to investigate the effects of concrete cover thickness and stirrup confinement on internal crack evolution and pull-out behavior in corroded reinforced concrete models. Thicker cover delays crack initiation but increases crack opening rate, while stirrups restrict crack growth effectively. The simulation results also show reductions in pull-out capacity, stiffness, and ductility with increasing corrosion damage.

Influence of alkali-silica reaction on the shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams with minimum transverse reinforcement

Hadi Aryan et al.

Summary: This study focused on the shear response of ASR damaged concrete beams, finding that beams can gain shear strength through ongoing cement hydration in moist conditions. Compared to beams with ASR expansion of 0.2%, beams with 0.4% expansion lost 6% of shear strength, 25% of shear stiffness, and exhibited approximately double the shear cracks and deformations at peak load.
