    Material Model Calibration of Fiber Reinforced Concrete Using Deep Neural Network
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2023) Yaşayanlar, Yonca; Saatcı, Selçuk; Erdem, Tahir Kemal; Saatcı, Selçuk; Erdem, Tahir Kemal
    The numerical modeling of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) structures is quite challenging due to the material's heterogeneous and anisotropic nature. The majority of material models that are suitable for regular concrete are not able to account for the FRC material's increased tensile capacity and ductility. In this study, a calibration method is proposed that is simple and effective for modeling FRC structures using a selected concrete material model. The Karagozian and Case (K&C) material model in LS-DYNA is capable of representing the ductile nature of FRC, and its parameters related to tensile behavior were calibrated to reflect the tensile-softening behavior. The calibration process was executed using the uniaxial direct tension test results of two different FRC mixtures. In addition, single element numerical models were constructed using LS-DYNA under uniaxial tension. The tensile parameters of K&C were varied over a wide range using single elements to form a database. Then, a Deep Neural Network (DNN) was constructed to pass the database through and find the K&C parameters that best matched the experimental uniaxial test results. The proposed methodology was tested under static and high-strain rate loading conditions, and the results were compared to the experimental findings. The performance of the DNN-achieved parameters was found to be satisfactory. The results showed that the DNN-calibrated parameters were able to accurately predict the behavior of FRC structures under static and dynamic loading conditions.

    Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures Subjected To Impact Loads
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2010) Cağaloğlu, Neriman Çare; Saatcı, Selçuk; Saatcı, Selçuk
    Design of reinforced concrete structures against extreme loads, such as impact and blast loads, is increasingly gaining importance. However, due to the problem.s complicated nature, there exists no commonly accepted methodology or a design code for the analysis and design of such structures under impact loads. Therefore, engineers and researchers commonly resort to the numerical methods, such as the finite element method, and utilize different methods and techniques for the analysis and design. Although each method has its advantages and disadvantages, usually engineers and researchers persist on their method of choice, without evaluating the performance of other methods available. In addition, there is no significant study in the literature comparing the methods available that can guide the engineers and researchers working in the area. This study compares the performance of some numerical methods for the impact analysis and design with the help from actual impact test results in the literature. Computer programs VecTor2 and VecTor3 were selected for nonlinear finite element methodology, which were based on the Modified Compression Field Theory. Impact tests conducted on reinforced concrete beams were modeled and analyzed using these programs. Moreover, same beams were modeled also using a single degree of freedom spring system method. The results obtained from both approaches were compared with each other and the test results, considering their accuracy, computation time, and ease of use.

    Efficiency of Shear Studs Manufactured From Threaded Bars on the Punching Behavior of Flat Slabs
    (Golden Light Publishing, 2023) Saatçi, Selçuk; Saatcı, Selçuk; Yaşayanlar, Yonca
    Punching resistance in flat slab systems in reinforced concrete structures is often provided with drop panels or shear reinforcement around columns. Shear studs are effectively used in these structures as shear reinforcement. However, factory-made shear studs may not be available in all locations and small quantities for small projects. Therefore, cheap shear studs that can be manufactured from widely available materials in small quantities can be very useful in certain cases. In this study, shear studs manufactured from threaded bars, widely available in hardware stores, are used for providing punching resistance to flat slabs. Stud heads were formed with T-section nuts. Four slab specimens, two with shear studs and two without, were cast and tested under concentrated loads at their mid-point. The slabs had 2150×2150×150 mm dimensions and they were cast with two different longitudinal reinforcement ratios. Test results showed that manufactured shear studs significantly increased the load and deformation capacities of the slabs. Slabs with shear studs were able to show up to three times higher bending deformations and they were able to sustain up to 50% higher loads. The study has shown that these studs can be effectively used for punching strengthening purposes in flat plate systems or in other cases where punching resistance is needed.

    Numerical Investigation on the Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Slabs Strengthened With Carbon Fiber Textile Reinforcement Under Impact Loads
    (Elsevier, 2022) Batarlar, Baturay; Saatcı, Selçuk
    In this study, impact load performance of reinforced concrete members strengthened with carbon fiber textile reinforcement (CFTR) was investigated through numerical simulations. In the first phase of the study, a finite element model was set up to model reinforced concrete slabs of 1500 × 1500 × 200 mm in dimensions, strengthened with CFTR and subjected to multiple impact loads, using software LS-DYNA. This model was validated against experimental data available in the literature and basic modeling parameters, such as material model selection, mesh size, and erosion parameters for better accuracy were determined. In the second phase of the study, a numerical parametric study was conducted using the validated model to reveal the effects of steel and textile reinforcement ratio, slab thickness, striker mass, size, and velocity on the behavior of steel-reinforced concrete slabs strengthened using CFTR. As a result of the study, it was found that CFTR was effective in limiting the peak and residual displacements in reinforced concrete slabs subjected to multiple impacts at the middle. Among 220 mm thick specimens, for the same steel reinforcement ratio, a higher CFTR ratio resulted in lower peak and residual displacement levels after the third impact. On the other hand, when 8 mm diameter steel reinforcement was varied from 100 mm to 200 mm spacing, it was found that steel reinforcement ratio was the dominant factor on the impact behavior over the CFTR ratio. CFTR strengthening was particularly more effective when the members displayed a global response instead of a local one, such as low-velocity high-mass impact loading or in the cases where the striker had a larger diameter. Similarly, thickness was also found to be a major factor on the effectiveness of CFTR. When thickness of the slab was varied from 50 mm to 300 mm, CFTR's effect was found to be more pronounced for thinner slabs in preventing perforation and limiting peak and residual displacements. However, for 200 and 300 mm thick slabs, CFTR did not have a significant effect since local punching behavior was dominant in these slabs and CFTR was not effective in this shear mechanism.

    Çelik Fiber Katkısının Farklı Boyuna Donatı Oranına Sahip Betonarme Döşemelerin Zımbalama Davranışı Üzerinde Etkileri
    (2019) Saatci, Selcuk; Yasayanlar, Suleyman; Yasayanlar, Yonca; Batarlar, Baturay
    Sunulan çalışmada her iki yönde birbirine dik 0,004 (D1 serisi) ve 0,002 (D2 serisi) oranında boyuna donatıiçeren 2150x2150x150 mm boyutlarında iki grup betonarme döşeme, hacimce %0, %0,5, %1 ve %1,5oranında çelik fiber katkısı içeren beton karışımlarıyla dökülmüştür. Üretilen toplam sekiz döşeme ortanoktalarından statik yük altında test edilmişlerdir. Çelik fiber katkısı olmayan numunelerde yüksek boyunadonatı oranına sahip döşeme boyuna donatısında akma gerçekleşmeden gevrek bir şekilde zımbalamagöçmesi oluşurken düşük boyuna donatı oranına sahip döşeme zımbalama gerçekleşmeden önce çok dahasünek bir davranış göstermiştir. Çelik fiber katkısı her iki boyuna donatı oranında da iki kata varan oranlardazımbalama dayanımı artışlarına sebep olmuştur. Ancak D1 serisi döşemelerde çelik fiber katkısı maksimumyer değiştirmeleri önemli ölçüde arttırırken D2 serisinde maksimum yer değiştirmelerde önemli bir farkoluşmamış, bu döşemelerin yer değiştirmesi boyuna donatının akması tarafından kontrol edilmiştir. Çelikfiber katkısı oranının arttırılması D1 serisi döşemelerde dayanımın ve maksimum yer değiştirmelerinartmasına sebep olurken, D2 serisi döşemelerde %1'in üstü çelik fiber katkı oranları davranışta önemli birfark oluşturmamıştır. Yapılan deneyler Kritik Kesme Çatlağı Teorisi kullanılarak analitik olarakmodellenmiş ve bu tip modelleme ile ilgili bazı iyileştirmeler önerilmiştir.

    Çelik Fiber İlaveli Etriyesiz Betonarme Kirişlerin Eğilme Etkisi Altındaki Davranışlarının Doğrusal Olayan Sonlu Elemanlar Analizi ile Belirlenmesi
    (Pamukkale Üniversitesi, 2018) Tayfur, Sena; Saatcı, Selçuk; Saatçi, Selçuk; Alver, Ninel
    Çelik fiber katkılı betonarme elemanların kullanımı son yıllarda artmakla birlikte bu elemanların yapısal davranışlarının modellenmesinde mevcut analitik yöntemler yetersiz kalmakta ve doğrusal olmayan sonlu elemanlar yöntemi gibi sayısal yöntemlere ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu çalışmada üç noktalı statik yükleme altında davranışı deneysel olarak belirlenmiş çelik fiber katkılı iki kiriş ile çelik fiber katkısı olmayan bir kiriş Değiştirilmiş Basınç Alanı Teorisi'ne dayanan bir doğrusal olmayan sonlu elemanlar yöntemi ile analiz edilmiş ve sonuçlar irdelenmiştir Kullanılan yöntemde çatlamış betonda çatlak yüzeyleri arasında çelik fiberlerin ilettiği çekme gerilmelerinin modellenmesinde Basitleştirilmiş Kapsamlı Gömülme Modeli seçilmiştir. Analiz sonuçları deney sonuçlarıyla karşılaştırıldığında kullanılan sonlu elemanlar yönteminin kirişlerin eğilme kapasitelerini ve oluşan ana çatlakları yüksek hassasiyetle belirlediği, ancak kirişlerin deplasman kapasitelerini olduğundan çok daha düşük bulduğu görülmüştür. Modelin ana çatlakları doğru tespit etmekle birlikte oluşan çok sayıda küçük çatlakları doğru tespit edememesi ve bunun sonucu olarak ana çatlaklarda donatı kopmasının olduğundan erken gerçekleşmesi sonucu kirişin düşük deplasmanlarda göçtüğü değerlendirilmiştir. Daha hassas çözümler için çelik fiber katkısının modellenmesinde daha gelişmiş modellere ihtiyaç olduğu görülmüştür.

    Punching Behavior of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Concrete Panels
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Naseri, Jamalullah; Saatçi, Selçuk
    Hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (HyFRC) is a more recent type of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC), which includes two or more different fibers types. HyFRC may result in a multifunctional material due to synergetic effects of the various type of fibers added in the mixture. In this study, punching behavior of HyFRC thin panels using three different types of steel fibers and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers were experimentally investigated. In total 13 panel specimens were cast with dimensions of 1700 x 1700 mm2 and thickness of 50 mm. The specimens were simply supported along the edges and loaded through a 150 mm circular steel plate at the center by a displacement-controlled hydraulic actuator. A load cell and fifteen displacement transducers were used to measure the applied load and vertical deflection of the specimens, respectively. All specimens that contained only steel fibers failed under punching. In hybrid fiber reinforced specimens with steel and PVA fibers, either a flexural failure or a punching failure followed by significant flexural deformations were observed. Test results confirm that fiber reinforced concrete has a very significant effect on thin panel's punching strength and displacement capacity. It was seen that hybridization of two different types of fiber, steel and PVA fibers, brings advantages in terms of punching load capacity, deformation characteristics and failure mode.

    Constitutive Equation Determination and Dynamic Numerical Modelling of the Compression Deformation of Concrete
    (Wiley, 2021) Seven, Semih Berk; Çankaya, M. Alper; Uysal, Çetin; Taşdemirci, Alper; Saatci, Selçuk; Güden, Mustafa
    The dynamic compression deformation of an in-house cast concrete (average aggregate size of 2-2.5 mm) was modelled using the finite element (FE), element-free Galerkin (EFG) and smooth particle Galerkin (SPG) methods to determine their capabilities of capturing the dynamic deformation. The numerical results were validated with those of the experimental split Hopkinson pressure bar tests. Both EFG and FE methods overestimated the failure stress and strain values, while the SPG method underestimated the peak stress. SPG showed similar load capacity profile with the experiment. At initial stages of the loading, all methods present similar behaviour. Nonetheless, as the loading continues, the SPG method predicts closer agreement of deformation profile and force histories. The increase in strength at high strain rate was due to both the rate sensitivity and lateral inertia caused by the confinement effect. The inertia effect of the material especially is effective at lower strain values and the strain rate sensitivity of the concrete becomes significant at higher strain values.

    Bending Behavior of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Concrete Beams
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Aloui, Sarra; Saatçi, Selçuk
    Fiber reinforced concrete is widely used in various applications in concrete members. In this study, effect of fiber hybridization, using different types of fibers in concrete mix, on the bending behavior of concrete beams was investigated. For this purpose, eight beam specimens, 2500x500x50 mm in dimension, were cast in pairs with four different steel fiber content. One of the two specimens with the same steel fiber content had additional Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) fibers. The specimens were first tested under three-point bending. After these tests, failed specimens, which had a single crack at the midspan, were broken into two halves and the half with no visible damage was tested again under four-point loading to obtain the behavior for a constant moment region.The ultimate strength and the load-displacement behaviorwas investigated for each specimen. It was seen that fiber hybridization obtained by addition of PVA had an adverse effect for three-point bending tests. Specimens with additional PVA fibers had a lower ultimate load and deflection capacity compared to specimens with only steel fibers. However, fiber hybridization had a positive effect for same specimens under four-point bending test. It was concluded that hybridization of steel and PVA fibers had a positive effect on the bending behavior for loading conditions that result in a uniform moment distribution. However, for cases where a single crack dominates the behavior, such as a three-point bending case, hybrid fibers were not as effective or even had an adverse effect.

    Structural Behavior of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Concrete Panels Under Blast Loads
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Alkabbani, Mouhammed Jalal; Saatçi, Selçuk
    Terrorist attacks cause injuries and casualties not only due to direct effect of explosions, but also due to collapse of non-structural elements in buildings such as brick walls. Strengthening of non-blast resistant buildings to blast loads can be done using blast resistant cladding. In this study, structural behavior of panels manufactured using hybrid fiber reinforced concrete, composed of steel and synthetic polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers, under blast loads was investigated and the potential use of such panels for the strengthening of existing buildings against blast loads was examined. For this purpose, 11 panels with 1900x1900x50 dimensions were tested under blast loads. Blast loads were applied on panels by a shock tube designed and manufactured within this project. As a result of the study, it was found that panels manufactured using hybrid fiber reinforced concrete had higher strength and energy absorption capacity under blast loads compared to panels manufactured by using steel fibers only. Using steel and PVA fibers provided a better control of micro and macro cracking and increased the panels' ductility. The study showed that hybrid fiber reinforced concrete panels can be used as a protective cladding for blast loads.
