Crack Detection

Concrete materials are meant for supporting structures, building foundations and they act as several load-bearing structures. Over time, due to environmental conditions, and based on the constituent materials used, concrete materials are subjected to a great degree of distress. Corrosion of the reinforcement bars due to chemical influences, uneven base, earthquake, drying shrinkages, and alkali-aggregate reactions are some of the reasons for concrete distress.

Estimate the transverse tensile strength of the concrete in Problem 12.6.
The flexural strength (fr) of concrete measured from the bending test is always higherthan the direct tensile strength (ft). In reality, the stress in the cracked part of theconcrete is lower than ft. Also, failure may occur on the compressive side. Assuming1) there is no tension softening in the cracked zone, i.e., tensile stress stays at ft; and 2)infinitely large compressive strength, draw the stress distribution over the depth of thebeam at ultimate failure when the curvature of the section is approaching infinity. Withthis stress distribution, show that the upper bound of fr/ft is equal to 3. (Hint: On rotating the section, because the compressive stress can increase well beyondft, the neutral axis will continue to shift towards to the compression side.)
