Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of civil engineering, bridge and water conservancy engineering, and specifically relates to a design method for the flexural ultimate strength and fracture toughness of reinforced concrete structures. Background Technology

[0002] Reinforced concrete structures are widely used in civil engineering, bridges, and water conservancy projects, and their cracking failure has always been a focus of attention in the engineering community. The appearance of cracks not only affects the aesthetics of the structure but also reduces its durability and load-bearing capacity, and can even lead to safety hazards. Traditional reinforced concrete design methods are usually based on linear elasticity theory, empirical formulas, and construction measures, which inevitably suffer from problems such as size effects, low prediction accuracy, and narrow applicability, making it difficult to meet the high-precision requirements for structural safety in modern civil engineering, bridges, and water conservancy projects. Furthermore, most domestic and international standards only use ultimate strength (such as flexural capacity) as the failure control parameter for reinforced concrete structures, neglecting the influence of fracture toughness (including crack propagation capacity and energy dissipation capacity) on structural toughness and failure modes. Therefore, designing reinforced concrete structures based on flexural ultimate strength and fracture toughness can effectively prevent catastrophic failure of civil engineering, bridges, and water conservancy structures due to brittle fracture under extreme loads (earthquakes, explosions, impacts).
