Tensile Performance Of Cast-In Headed Anchors In Ambient-Temperature Cured Fly Ash-Based Geopolymer Concretes With Varying Fracture Energies, Trijon Karmokar, Alireza Mohyeddin, Jessey Lee May 2023

Tensile Performance Of Cast-In Headed Anchors In Ambient-Temperature Cured Fly Ash-Based Geopolymer Concretes With Varying Fracture Energies, Trijon Karmokar, Alireza Mohyeddin, Jessey Lee

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

The performance of cast-in headed anchors subjected to tensile loading in ambient-temperature cured fly ash-based geopolymer concrete was investigated in this research. Varying sizes of anchors were installed in geopolymer concrete at effective embedment depths ranging between 40 mm and 90 mm. The new experimental results were compared with those of a previous study on the tensile performance of anchors in geopolymer concrete with similar compressive and tensile strengths, but different fracture energy and elastic modulus. The influence on the concrete cone capacity and its angle due to the varying anchor head size ratio and fracture energy were evaluated in …


Influence Of Surface Cracking, Anchor Head Profile, And Anchor Head Size On Cast-In Headed Anchors In Geopolymer Concrete, Trijon Karmokar, Alireza Moyheddin Jan 2023

Influence Of Surface Cracking, Anchor Head Profile, And Anchor Head Size On Cast-In Headed Anchors In Geopolymer Concrete, Trijon Karmokar, Alireza Moyheddin

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

In this study, the concrete cone capacity, concrete cone angle, and load–displacement response of cast-in headed anchors in geopolymer concrete are explored using numerical analyses. The concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) model in ABAQUS is used to simulate the behavior of concrete substrates. The tensile behavior of anchors in geopolymer concrete is compared with that in normal concrete as well as that predicted by the linear fracture mechanics (LFM) and concrete capacity design (CCD) models. The results show that the capacity of the anchors in geopolymer concrete is 30%–40% lower than that in normal concrete. The results also indicate that the …

Development Of Heavyweight Self-Compacting Concrete And Ambient-Cured Heavyweight Geopolymer Concrete Using Magnetite Aggregates, Afsaneh Valizadeh, Farhad Aslani, Zohaib Asif, Matt Roso

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

Heavyweight self-compacting concrete (HWSCC) and heavyweight geopolymer concrete (HWGC) are new types of concrete that integrate the advantages of heavyweight concrete (HWC) with self-compacting concrete (SCC) and geopolymer concrete (GC), respectively. The replacement of natural coarse aggregates with magnetite aggregates in control SCC and control GC at volume ratios of 50%, 75%, and 100% was considered in this study to obtain heavyweight concrete classifications, according to British standards, which provide proper protection from sources that emit harmful radiations in medical and nuclear industries and may also be used in many offshore structures. The main aim of this study is to …
