Although uncertainties in earthquakes and basic material properties, such as nominal concrete compressive strength, strain at maximum stress, and modulus of elasticity of concrete, have been considered in some studies, uncertainties in parameters used to model the nonlinear behavior of concrete are often not considered. Recent recommendations in design standards have incorporated performance-based limit states in the design and risk assessment of nuclear power plants. These recommendations have implicitly mandated that the uncertainty in the nonlinear behavior of concrete needs to be characterized and quantified in accordance with different performance limit states. This study focused on nonlinear model parameters in the concrete damage plasticity model (CDPM) and their characterization in terms of material strength parameters. Furthermore, a performance-based characterization and quantification of uncertainties in nonlinear model parameters was also conducted. Data from existing experimental studies were used to study the uncertainties in CDPM and were used as a basis for the proposed quantification.}, number={1}, journal={ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Part A: Civil Engineering}, publisher={American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)}, author={Lee, Sangwoo and Gupta, Abhinav and Proestos, Giorgio T.}, year={2023}, month={Mar} }

This paper presents a crack‐based assessment approach that utilizes the Two‐Parameter Kinematic Theory (2PKT) as a framework for the assessment of lightly reinforced concrete deep beams. The paper presents three assessment approaches with progressively increasing levels of approximation (LoAs). The first level of approximation (LoA I) involves using the 2PKT in a predictive manner for situations where the crack shapes are unknown, LoA II improves upon LoA I by incorporating more detailed modeling of the strain in the transverse reinforcement at the location of the critical cracks, and LoA III includes the details of LoA II but also uses the detailed crack geometry as an input in the assessment. Each of the LoAs is presented and compared with experimental data from a 4‐m deep beam test in the literature. The shear carrying mechanisms determined from the kinematic model are evaluated and compared across LoAs. Finally, the paper utilizes LoA III to study the size effect in shear for deep beams. The results quantify the influence of aggregate interlock on the size effect in shear critical deep beams.}, journal={Structural Concrete}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Trandafir, Alexandru N. and Proestos, Giorgio T. and Mihaylov, Boyan I.}, year={2022}, month={Sep} }

This type of boundary condition results in stress concentrations at the edges of the loading or supporting elements, and this in turn results in steep diagonal cracks and concentrated diagonal struts. In this study the shear strength of deep beams affected by stress concentrations is studied in detail with two methods: a two-parameter kinematic theory (2PKT) and a nonlinear finite element model (FEM) VecTor2, which is based on the Disturbed Stress Field Model and the Modified Compression Field Theory. It is shown that, with appropriate simple modifications to account for the loading or support conditions, as well as the dowel action of the longitudinal web reinforcement, the 2PKT captures well the shear strength of 10 test specimens from the literature. The average test-to-predicted ratio for the peak strength, as determined from the 2PKT, was 1.09 with a coefficient of variation of 8.69%. The average test-to-predicted ratio for the peak strength, as determined from the VecTor2 models, was 0.99 with a coefficient-of-variation of 5.27%. The VecTor2 models are also able to accurately capture the strain concentrations measured in the experiments. These FEM analyses and detailed experimental measurements assist in ultimately developing rational approaches, including kinematic and strut-and-tie methods, for evaluating deep beams with stress concentrations, as occurs in members with large loading or supporting elements.}, journal={Engineering Structures}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Proestos, Giorgio T. and Palipana, Dhanushka K. and Mihaylov, Boyan I.}, year={2021}, month={Jan}, pages={111368} }
