TY - JOUR A1 - Motra, Hem Bahadur A1 - Hildebrand, Jörg A1 - Dimmig-Osburg, Andrea T1 - Assessment of strain measurement techniques to characterise mechanical properties of structural steel JF - Engineering Science and Technology, an International Journal N2 - Strain measurement is important in mechanical testing. A wide variety of techniques exists for measuring strain in the tensile test; namely the strain gauge, extensometer, stress and strain determined by machine crosshead motion, Geometric Moire technique, optical strain measurement techniques and others. Each technique has its own advantages and disadvantages. The purpose of this study is to quantitatively compare the strain measurement techniques. To carry out the tensile test experiments for S 235, sixty samples were cut from the web of the I-profile in longitudinal and transverse directions in four different dimensions. The geometry of samples are analysed by 3D scanner and vernier caliper. In addition, the strain values were determined by using strain gauge, extensometer and machine crosshead motion. Three techniques of strain measurement are compared in quantitative manner based on the calculation of mechanical properties (modulus of elasticity, yield strength, tensile strength, percentage elongation at maximum force) of structural steel. A statistical information was used for evaluating the results. It is seen that the extensometer and strain gauge provided reliable data, however the extensometer offers several advantages over the strain gauge and crosshead motion for testing structural steel in tension. Furthermore, estimation of measurement uncertainty is presented for the basic material parameters extracted through strain measurement.

Es sollte die Frage beantwortet werden, ob durch die Modifizierung die Dauerhaftigkeit von Mörteln mehr verbessert werden kann, als dies durch übliche betontechnologische Maßnahmen möglich ist. Die Ausbildung der Mikrostruktur in den ersten 24 Stunden der Erhärtung wurde mit verschiedenen Methoden, u.a. mittels ESEM, untersucht. Es wurden Modellvorstellungen zur Ausbildung der organischen Matrix und der anorganischen Matrix entwickelt: Interaktionen sind Adsorptionsreaktionen, Agglomerationen und Behinderung der Hydratation. Es wurden Frisch- und Festmörteluntersuchungen beschrieben und interpretiert. Unterschiedliche Dauerhaftigkeitsuntersuchungen wurden durchgeführt und bewertet. Die Mikrostruktur der Festmörtel wurde hinsichtlich ihres Einflusses auf die Dauerhaftigkeit betrachtet. N2 - The effects of polymeric additives on the formation of the microstructure at an early stage of hardening and on the properties, especially the durabiliy of modified mortars, were investigated. The question was whether the durability of mortars may be increased to a larger extent by the modification or by the usual measures taken in concrete technology. The formation of the microstructure within the first 24 hours of hardening was investigated by various methods, e.g. by ESEM (environmental scanning electron microscope). Models of the formation of the organic and anorganic matrix were developed: interactions are adsorbtion reactions, agglomerations, and impediments to hydration. Tests on fresh and hardened mortar are described and interpreted. Several durability tests were conducted and evaluated. The microstructure of the hardened mortars was studied with regard to its influence on the durability.

Several models- , namely BP model, Whaley and Neville model, modified MC90 for cyclic loading and modified Hyperbolic function for cyclic loading are used for uncertainty quantification. Three types of uncertainty are included in Uncertainty Quantification (UQ): (i) natural variability in loading and materials properties; (ii) data uncertainty due to measurement errors; and (iii) modelling uncertainty and errors during cyclic creep analysis. Due to the consideration of all type of uncertainties, a measure for the total variation of the model response is achieved. The study finds that the BP, modified Hyperbolic and modified MC90 are best performing models for cyclic creep prediction in that order. Further, global Sensitivity Analysis (SA) considering the uncorrelated and correlated parameters is used to quantify the contribution of each source of uncertainty to the overall prediction uncertainty and to identifying the important parameters. The error in determining the input quantities and model itself can produce significant changes in creep prediction values. The variability influence of input random quantities on the cyclic creep was studied by means of the stochastic uncertainty and sensitivity analysis namely the Gartner et al. method and Saltelli et al. method. All input imperfections were considered to be random quantities. The Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) numerical simulation method (Monte Carlo type method) was used. It has been found by the stochastic sensitivity analysis that the cyclic creep deformation variability is most sensitive to the Elastic modulus of concrete, compressive strength, mean stress, cyclic stress amplitude, number of cycle, in that order.

The reasons for that as well as additional material phenomena are explained in the following paper. Existing creep models developed for standard concrete are studied to determine the time-dependent deformations of PCC. These models are: model B3 by Bažant and Bajewa, the models according to Model Code 90 and ACI 209 as well as model GL2000 by Gardner and Lockman. The calculated creep strains are compared to existing experimental data of PCC and the differences are pointed out. Furthermore, an optimization of the model parameters is performed to fit the models to the experimental data to achieve a better model prognosis.
