AE monitoring of reinforced concrete squat wall subjected to cyclic loading with information entropy-based analysis by Zhang, Xinchen, Shan, Wenchen, Zhang, Zhongwen, Li, Bing

“…Furthermore, accumulated AE energy shows a good correlation with the accumulated hysteretic energy and the damage assessment based on RA-AF analysis indicates the shear cracks are the dominant crack mode. Information entropy-based analysis was conducted, and its feasibility in monitoring the development of main cracks was validated. …”

Dynamic behavior of reinforced concrete beams under varying rates of concentrated loading by Adhikary, Satadru Das, Li, Bing, Fujikake, Kazunori

“…Three-dimensional finite element (FE) models of RC beams have been described and verified with the experimental results, followed by a parametric study to investigate the influence of the longitudinal reinforcement ratio, the transverse reinforcement ratio and the shear span to effective depth ratio. Empirical equations are proposed in terms of various parameters to predict the Dynamic Increase Factor (DIF) of maximum resistance of RC beams under varying loading rates.…”
