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.

Tension specimens (diameter d0 0.500 in., gage length L0 2.00 in.) made of structural materials A and B are tested to failure in tension. (a) At failure the distances between the gage marks are LAf 2.90 in. and LBf 2.22 in.; the corresponding diameters at the failure cross sections are dAf 0.263 in. and dBf 0.471 in., respectively. Determine the percent elongation in 2 in. and the percent reduction in area for these two materials, and classify each material as either brittle or ductile. (b) From these tensile tests the following data are also obtained: EA 10.0 103 ksi, (Y)A 5 ksi, (U)A 13 ksi; EB 10.4 103 ksi, (Y)B 73 ksi, (U)B 83 ksi. From the data given here, make rough sketches (to scale) of the stress-strain diagrams of materials A and B.

A compact tension specimen is tested according to ASTM standard E399. The load displacement curve is shown in the Figure below with PQ= 120 kN (Type 1 curve). The specimen dimensions are B=0.5 cm, W=10 cm, and “a” =5 cm. If the materials yield stress is 600 MPa are the conditions correct for a valid K1C measurement? Please look up McEviley’s textbook on the thickness criterion for a valid fracture toughness value.

A tension test is being conducted on a steel-rod specimen with a gauge length of L0=2 in and initial diameter of d0=0.5 in. Data were collected to form the conventional stress-strain diagram as shown. From the diagram, f = 74.0 ksi, e = 104.0 ksi , g = 85.0 ksi , and h = 0.15 in/in. Assuming that the strain remains constant throughout the region between the gauge points, determine the nominal strain ε experienced by the rod if it is elongated to L = 2.7 in . Assuming that the stress is constant over the cross-sectional area and if the tension force used is P = 11.0 kips, find the nominal stress experienced by the rod. Determine the force P needed to reach the ultimate stress in the steel-rod specimen.
