NLFEA Behavior of Heat-Damaged Key Joints in Precast Concrete Segmental Bridge by Bara’a R. Alnemrawi, Rajai Al-Rousan

“…The current research examines the effect of the lateral confinement pressure (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) MPa and the elevated temperature values (23, 200, 400, and 600) °C on the behavior of single dried shear key joints structural behavior tested under concentrated static loading using the Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis (NLFEA) procedure. The simulation models were first validated using experimental data from the literature and compared using the ultimate deflection, ultimate load, cracking propagation, and failure modes using ABAQUS software, where the available Concrete Damage Plasticity model was utilized. …”
