Plain and fibre-reinforced sprayed concrete. Part 1: a finite-element model for structural analysis

A mathematical model is presented for the structural analysis of plain and fibre-reinforced sprayed concrete. The finite-element model is an extended version of the mathematical model for plain concrete. The constitutive relations (stress-strain curves), the failure envelope for sprayed concretes and the cracking of sprayed concrete are described. For sprayed concrete, the tension stiffening factor (TSF) was included in the tensile zones and the equation describing the tensile strength of the material was modified. The effects of these two changes are illustrated in a series of case studies where analytical predictions were obtained for a selection of concrete and sprayed concrete structures with and without fibres and/or main reinforcements.
