Article Citation - WoS: 56Citation - Scopus: 67Characterization of Concrete Matrix/Steel Fiber De-Bonding in an Sfrc Beam: Principal Component Analysis and K-Mean Algorithm for Clustering Ae Data(Elsevier, 2018) Tayfur, Sena; Alver, Ninel; Abdi, Saeed; Saatçi, Selçuk; Ghiami, AmirSteel fibers have been used in concrete structures to increase the tensile strength and ductility of concrete. Fibers bridging cracks reduce micro cracking and improve post-cracking strength in concrete. Propagation of damage in a fiber reinforced concrete member occurs by concrete matrix cracking and widening of these cracks, which is accompanied by de-bonding of steel fibers from the concrete matrix. Fiber de-bonding is the main factor affecting the post-peak behavior of these members. Therefore, distinguishing the matrix cracking and fiber de-bonding mechanisms is important in nondestructive structural health monitoring methods. This study is focused on characterizing steel fiber/matrix de-bonding events apart from concrete matrix cracking sources in acoustic emission (AE) method. Two reinforced concrete beams, one of which included steel fibers within the concrete matrix, were tested under three point bending and monitored by AE. Afterwards, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was applied to AE data and the failure mechanisms were clustered for characterization of steel fiber/matrix de-bonding. Finally, different AE features of these clusters were evaluated and applicable AE parameter distributions, which are useful to clarify steel fiber de-bonding mechanisms, were revealed.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Çelik lifli betonarme kirişte akustik emisyon aktivitelerinin Ib değeri analizi ile değerlendirilmesi(Gazi Üniversitesi, 2019) Alver, Ninel; Tayfur, Sena; Saatçi, SelçukThere are numerous nondestructive testing methods that are used to determine damages within structures. Acoustic Emission (AE), being one of these methods makes it possible to obtain significant pieces of information such as origin time, location and type of damage formed in a material during loading by analyzing AE data using various algorithms. Ib value analysis is one of these algorithms which is based on AE signal and this analysis enables to have information on formation of new cracks or propagation of existing cracks by scaling the magnitude of AE activities. In this study, in order to investigate effect of the steel fiber in concrete matrix on Ib value, two reinforced concrete beams were tested under simple bending while one of them was the reference. Afterwards, AE parameters obtained were analyzed, Ib value analyses were applied to amplitude values and these parameters were associated to each other. Furthermore, effect of steel fiber existence on behavior of the beam and distribution of AD value were examined.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5A Modified Fiber-Reinforced Plastics Concrete Interface Bond-Slip Law for Shear-Strengthened Rc Elements Under Cyclic Loading(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016) Selman, Efe; Alver, NinelThe objective of this article is to realistically analyze fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) retrofitted reinforced concrete structures under cyclic loading taking into account FRP–concrete bond-slip law with cyclic bond degradation. In literature, even though numerous studies have been conducted in FRP–concrete interface bond-slip modeling under cyclic loads, a small number of them consider the influence of cyclic degradation on FRP–concrete interface bond behavior. Within this framework, the bond-slip law for carbon fiber-reinforced plastics–concrete interface is revised by utilizing Harajli's and Ko-Sato's approaches. The procedure is distinct from others because it develops existing deficiencies of these approaches, whereas a more reliable modeling process is proposed for use in practice. Conventional bond-slip law of Lu et al. is compared with this interface relationship stated in this investigation and the difference is clearly shown in terms of structural parameters. Experimental tests are conducted at the same time for verification. It is proved that cyclic bond degradation affects the interface behavior; thus, the structural response cannot be omitted in structural evaluations. Structural performance measures are obtained in good agreement for each level of cycles. The technique proposed clearly exhibits structural response difference between monotonic and cyclic loadings while good agreement is reached with experimental results. POLYM.
