[0041] The method for assessing the load-bearing capacity of reinforced concrete beams in this application quantitatively evaluates the load-bearing capacity of reinforced concrete beams with uniform damage by combining simulation data and field measured data. It has the advantages of clear concept and simple calculation, which makes it convenient for those skilled in the art to quickly and accurately assess the load-bearing capacity of reinforced concrete beams and can provide strong support for the load-bearing capacity assessment of in-service reinforced concrete bridges.
[0042] It should be noted that the load-bearing capacity assessment method in this application is mainly applicable to the load-bearing capacity assessment of tensile reinforcement in reinforced concrete beams under conditions of uniform damage (e.g., uniform corrosion).
[0043] Second implementation method:
[0044] Please refer to Figures 2-5 Taking a beam from a simply supported reinforced concrete T-beam bridge as an example, this paper illustrates the method for evaluating the bearing capacity of reinforced concrete beams in the first embodiment. The simply supported T-beam is 19.96m long, has a calculated span of 19.50m, and its cross-sectional dimensions are as follows. Figure 2 As shown, the concrete strength grade of this beam is C30, and the main reinforcement uses HRB335 steel bars. Currently, the tensile reinforcement of the beam exhibits a certain degree of uniform corrosion damage. A quantitative assessment of the beam's load-bearing capacity is required, and the assessment method is as follows:
[0045] 1. The load-displacement response of the beam under different damage levels D0, D1, D2, and D3 was calculated using a finite element model. Damage was achieved by reducing the area of the tensile reinforcement. The loading method was three-point loading, and the displacement measurement points were at the loading points. When performing the calculation using the finite element model, the yield strength of the tensile reinforcement was taken as the minimum measured value, and the elastic modulus of the reinforcement and concrete was taken as the maximum measured value. The moment-displacement curves at the loading points under different damage levels obtained by the finite element model calculation are shown below. Figure 3 As shown;
[0046] 2. Based on the moment-displacement curves under different damage degrees D0, D1, D2, and D3, the corresponding elastic stage curve slopes K0 = 36.64 kN.m / mm, K1 = 33.52 kN.m / mm, K2 = 29.84 kN.m / mm, K3 = 25.07 kN.m / mm and the yield moments at the loading points M0 = 2384 kN.m, M1 = 2107 kN.m, M2 = 1830 kN.m, M3 = 1467 kN.m were obtained. These curves were then fitted, and the fitting results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, with a coefficient of determination (R-square) of 0.9987, the equation of the straight line is obtained: M p =78.67K p -513;
[0047] 3. A load test was conducted on the beam, and the bending moment-displacement curves at the loading points were obtained as follows:Figure 5 The slope K of the elastic stage of the bending moment displacement curve is obtained according to the graph p = 31.75 kN.m / mm, which is substituted into the above linear equation to obtain the yield bending moment M of the loading point of the beam p = 1984.8 kN.m.
[0048] The yield bending moment obtained by using the method is 1984.8 kN.m, and the measured value is 1961 kN.m, with an error of 1.21%.
[0049] In combination with the current actual demand, the above-mentioned embodiments adopted by the application are not limited thereto, and various changes made within the knowledge range of those skilled in the art without departing from the concept of the application still fall within the protection scope of the application.
