Assessment Of Drucker-Prager Type Plasticity Models For Predicting The Behaviour Of Frp-Confined Concrete, T Yu, J G. Teng, Y L. Wong, S L. Dong
Assessment Of Drucker-Prager Type Plasticity Models For Predicting The Behaviour Of Frp-Confined Concrete, T Yu, J G. Teng, Y L. Wong, S L. Dong
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
This paper presents a critical assessment of the ability of existing Drucker-Prager (D-P) type plasticity models to predict the behaviour of confined concrete using both experimental observations and a recent analytical model. This assessment shows that for a D-P plasticity model to succeed in predicting the behaviour of FRP-confined and other passively-confined concrete, it needs to possess the following three features: (a) a yield criterion which includes the third deviatoric stress invariant, (b) a hardening/softening rule which is dependent on the confining pressure; and (c) a flow rule which is dependent on both the confining pressure and the rate of …
Flexural Behaviour Of Hybrid Frp-Concrete-Steel Double Skin Tubular Members, T Yu, Y L. Wong, J G. Teng, S L. Dong, E S.S Lam
Flexural Behaviour Of Hybrid Frp-Concrete-Steel Double Skin Tubular Members, T Yu, Y L. Wong, J G. Teng, S L. Dong, E S.S Lam
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the flexural behavior of a new type of hybrid FRP-concrete-steel member as well as results from a corresponding theoretical model based on the plane section assumption and the fiber element approach. This new type of hybrid member is in the form of a double-skin tube, composed of a steel inner tube and an FRP outer tube with a concrete infill between the two tubes, and may be employed as columns or beams. The parameters examined in this study include the section configuration, the concrete strength, and the thicknesses of the …
