NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF AERATED CONCRETE AND HOLLOW BRICK WALLS STRENGTHENED WITH STEEL-FIBERED CONCRETE PANELS

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Results of experimental and numerical investigations of walls reinforced with steel fibered concrete panels are reported. Eighteen walls produced by using hollow bricks and aerated concrete are studied in experiments; these walls are strengthened with concrete panels produced by using steel fibers at certain ratios. Six unreinforced reference specimens are also tested. Load-displacement curves are derived, the maximum stresses and displacements are determined, and the cracking process is studied. The experimental results are compared with those obtained from modeling.
