Behaviour of Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete Beam under Cyclic LoadingIOSR Journals
Abstract: This paper describes the influence of steel fibre distribution on the ultimate strength of concrete
beams. An experimental & analytical investigation of the behaviour of concrete beams reinforced with
conventional steel bars and steel fibres under cyclic loading is presented. It is now well established that one of
the important properties of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) is its superior resistance to cracking and
crack propagation. As a result of this ability to arrest cracks, fibre composites possess increased extensibility
and tensile strength, both at first crack and at ultimate load and the fibres are able to hold the matrix together
even after extensive cracking. The net result of all these is to impart to the fibre composite pronounced post –
cracking ductility which is unheard of in ordinary concrete. The transformation from a brittle to a ductile type
of material would increase substantially the energy absorption characteristics of the fibre composite and its
ability to withstand repeatedly applied, shock or impact loading. Tests on conventionally reinforced concrete
beam specimens, containing steel fibres in different proportions, have been conducted to establish loaddeflection
curves. It was observed that SFRC beams showed enhanced properties compared to that of RC beams
with steel fibres. The experimental investigations are validated with the analytical studies carried out by finite
element models using ANSYS.
Keywords: Steel fiber, concrete, properties, crack, ductility, technology.

Experimental and Microstructural Analysis of TIG and MIG Welding on Dissimila...Abu Sufyan Malik
In the modern era, most of the industries have a high demand of light weight, high strength structures with desired product properties which depend on the joining of dissimilar materials for manufacturing.
In TIG welding tungsten electrode is placed centrally in the torch. During the inert gas supplied through the annular space between torch and electrode, the filler material was supplied using a separate rod and shielding undertaken by covering the weld zone with a blanket of gases (Argon, Helium) which prevent the exposure of weld metal to oxygen and hydrogen of the air.
In MIG welding, the arc is struck between the work piece and the wire, which act as electrode and filler material, the arc and weld pool were shielded by inert gas. Depending upon the work material, the shielding gas may be argon, helium and carbon dioxide. In this case, the bare metal electrode (consumable electrode) in the form of continuous wire is fed through welding torch with the help of electrical motor and feed rolls.
Mild Steels are the carbon steels which generally contain less than about 0.60-1.4% wt of Carbon. The alloy of Mild Steel with Chromium, Magnesium, Vanadium, tungsten and Molybdenum are used as Knives, Razors, Cutting tool, dies, hacksaw blades and crankshaft. They typically have a yield strength of 430–585MPa (62–85 Ksi), tensile strengths 605-780 MPa (88–113 Ksi), and a ductility of 33–19%EL.
The stainless steels are highly resistant to corrosion in a variety of environments, especially ambient atmosphere. Their predominant alloying element is chromium; a concentration of at least 11 wt% Cr is required. They typically consist a yield strength of 205 MPa (30ksi) to 1650Mpa (240 Ksi), tensile strengths between 380 and 1790 MPa (55 to 260 Ksi), and a ductility of 20 to 40%EL. A wide range of mechanical properties combines with excellent resistance to corrosion making stainless steels very versatile in their applicability. Equipment employed for these steels includes gas turbines, high-temperature steam boilers, heat-treating furnaces, aircraft, missiles, and nuclear power–generating units.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

1.7 Prestressing Steel
This section covers the following topics.
• Forms of Prestressing Steel
• Types of Prestressing Steel
• Properties of Prestressing Steel
• Codal Provisions of Steel
1.7.1 Forms of Prestressing Steel
The development of prestressed concrete was influenced by the invention of high
strength steel. It is an alloy of iron, carbon, manganese and optional materials. The
following material describes the types and properties of prestressing steel.
In addition to prestressing steel, conventional non-prestressed reinforcement is used for
flexural capacity (optional), shear capacity, temperature and shrinkage requirements.
The properties of steel for non-prestressed reinforcement are not covered in this section.
It is expected that the student of this course is familiar with the conventional
reinforcement.
Wires
A prestressing wire is a single unit made of steel. The nominal diameters of the wires
are 2.5, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 7.0 and 8.0 mm. The different types of wires are as follows.
1) Plain wire: No indentations on the surface.
2) Indented wire: There are circular or elliptical indentations on the surface.
Strands
A few wires are spun together in a helical form to form a prestressing strand. The
different types of strands are as follows.
1) Two-wire strand: Two wires are spun together to form the strand.
2) Three-wire strand: Three wires are spun together to form the strand.
3) Seven-wire strand: In this type of strand, six wires are spun around a central wire.
The central wire is larger than the other wires.

Tendons
A group of strands or wires are placed together to form a prestressing tendon. The
tendons are used in post-tensioned members. The following figure shows the cross
section of a typical tendon. The strands are placed in a duct which may be filled with
grout after the post-tensioning operation is completed (Figure 1-7.1).

Cables
A group of tendons form a prestressing cable. The cables are used in bridges.
Bars
A tendon can be made up of a single steel bar. The diameter of a bar is much larger
than that of a wire. Bars are available in the following sizes: 10, 12, 16, 20, 22, 25, 28
and 32 mm.

1.7.2 Types of Prestressing Steel
The steel is treated to achieve the desired properties. The following are the treatment
processes.
Cold working (cold drawing)
The cold working is done by rolling the bars through a series of dyes. It re-aligns the
crystals and increases the strength.
Stress relieving
The stress relieving is done by heating the strand to about 350º C and cooling slowly.
This reduces the plastic deformation of the steel after the onset of yielding.
Strain tempering for low relaxation
This process is done by heating the strand to about 350º C while it is under tension.
This also improves the stress-strain behaviour of the steel by reducing the plastic
deformation after the onset of yielding. In addition, the relaxation is reduced. The
relaxation is described later.
IS:1343 - 1980 specifies the material properties of steel in Section 4.5. The following
types of steel are allowed.
1) Plain cold drawn stress relieved wire conforming to IS:1785, Part 1, Specification
for Plain Hard Drawn Steel Wire for Prestressed Concrete, Part I Cold Drawn
Stress Relieved Wire.
2) Plain as-drawn wire conforming to IS:1785, Part 2, Specification for Plain Hard
Drawn Steel Wire for Prestressed Concrete, Part II As Drawn Wire.
3) Indented cold drawn wire conforming to IS:6003, Specification for Indented Wire
for Prestressed Concrete.
4) High tensile steel bar conforming to IS:2090, Specification for High Tensile Steel
Bars used in Prestressed Concrete.
5) Uncoated stress relieved strand conforming to IS:6006. Specification for
Uncoated Stress Relieved Strand for Prestressed Concrete.

1.7.3 Properties of Prestressing Steel
The steel in prestressed applications has to be of good quality. It requires the following
attributes.
1) High strength
2) Adequate ductility
3) Bendability, which is required at the harping points and near the anchorage
4) High bond, required for pre-tensioned members
5) Low relaxation to reduce losses
6) Minimum corrosion.
Strength of Prestressing Steel
The tensile strength of prestressing steel is given in terms of the characteristic tensile
strength (fpk).
The characteristic strength is defined as the ultimate tensile strength of the coupon
specimens below which not more than 5% of the test results are expected to fall.
The ultimate tensile strength of a coupon specimen is determined by a testing machine
according to IS:1521 - 1972, Method for Tensile Testing of Steel Wire. The following
figure shows a test setup.

. The
proof stress should not be less than 80% of the specified tensile strength.

Stiffness of Prestressing Steel
The stiffness of prestressing steel is given by the initial modulus of elasticity. The
modulus of elasticity depends on the form of prestressing steel (wires or strands or
bars).
IS:1343 - 1980 provides the following guidelines which can be used in absence of test
data.
Table 1-7.4 Modulus of elasticity (IS: 1343 - 1980)
Type of steel Modulus of elasticity
Cold-drawn wires 210 kN/mm2
High tensile steel bars 200 kN/mm2
Strands 195 kN/mm2
Allowable Stress in Prestressing Steel
As per Clause 18.5.1, the maximum tensile stress during prestressing (fpi) shall not
exceed 80% of the characteristic strength.
≤
pi p
f 0.8 k
f (1-7.1)
There is no upper limit for the stress at transfer (after short term losses) or for the
effective prestress (after long term losses).
Stress-Strain Curves for Prestressing Steel
The stress versus strain behaviour of prestressing steel under uniaxial tension is initially
linear (stress is proportional to strain) and elastic (strain is recovered at unloading).
Beyond about 70% of the ultimate strength the behaviour becomes nonlinear and
inelastic. There is no defined yield point.
The yield point is defined in terms of the proof stress or a specified yield strain. IS:1343
- 1980 recommends the yield point at 0.2% proof stress. This stress corresponds to an
inelastic strain of 0.002. This is shown in the following figure.

Relaxation of Steel
Relaxation of steel is defined as the decrease in stress with time under constant strain.
Due to the relaxation of steel, the prestress in the tendon is reduced with time. Hence,
the study of relaxation is important in prestressed concrete to calculate the loss in
prestress.
The relaxation depends on the type of steel, initial prestress and the temperature. The
following figure shows the effect of relaxation due to different types of loading conditions.

Fatigue
Under repeated dynamic loads the strength of a member may reduce with the number
of cycles of applied load. The reduction in strength is referred to as fatigue.
11. Prestressed Concrete Structures Dr. Amlan K Sengupta and Prof. Devdas Menon
Indian Institute of Technology Madras
In prestressed applications, the fatigue is negligible in members that do not crack under
service loads. If a member cracks, fatigue may be a concern due to high stress in the
steel at the location of cracks.
Specimens are tested under 2 x 106
cycles of load to observe the fatigue. For steel,
fatigue tests are conducted to develop the stress versus number of cycles for failure (S-
N) diagram. Under a limiting value of stress, the specimen can withstand infinite number
of cycles. This limit is known as the endurance limit.
The prestressed member is designed such that the stress in the steel due to service
loads remains under the endurance limit. The following photo shows a set-up for
fatigue testing of strands.
Figure 1-7.11 Set-up for fatigue testing of strands
Durability
Prestressing steel is susceptible to stress corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement in
aggressive environments. Hence, prestressing steel needs to be adequately protected.
For bonded tendons, the alkaline environment of the grout provides adequate protection.
For unbonded tendons, corrosion protection is provided by one or more of the following
methods.
