Case study on numerical simulation of uniaxial compression splitting failure of Abaqus concrete cylinder

by

This case uses the Abaqus/Explicit explicit dynamic solver to conduct numerical simulations of uniaxial compression tests on concrete cylinders, studying the damage evolution, stress distribution, and the entire process of splitting failure of concrete columns under axial compression.

How to inspect the quality of concrete structure entities? Three indicators!

by

According to GB50204 “Code for Acceptance of Construction Quality of Concrete Structures”, the construction quality acceptance of concrete structure sub projects must not only be qualified in terms of visual quality, but also in terms of structural entity inspection.

The structural entity inspection mainly targets representative parts related to the safety of concrete structures, including three major items: ① concrete strength, ② thickness of steel reinforcement protective layer, and ③ structural position and size deviation.

Cause analysis and avoidance measures of apparent quality problems in concrete structures

by

Abstract: The apparent quality of concrete structures is an intuitive external representation of the quality of the structural entity, the level of construction technology, and the durability of the project, and is not simply a matter of appearance.

There is a common industry problem in the current field of construction and municipal engineering, which emphasizes structural strength over apparent quality, prioritizes subjective experience calculation over refined process control.

Honeycomb, rough surface, bubbles, exposed reinforcement, holes, slag inclusions, edge and corner defects, surface cracks, and uneven color surface defects have been widely present for a long time.

Most participating units classify such problems as minor quality defects and adopt simple repair and masking treatments, without conducting root cause tracing and systematic rectification, resulting in the continuous existence of construction process hazards, directly affecting the compactness, protective layer thickness, carbonation resistance, and long-term service durability of concrete structures.
