A Numerical Method to Predict the Strength of Cellular Concrete Wall Panels

摘要

Moist-cured cellular concrete is not normally used for load bearing applications due to its relatively low strength when compared to normal Grade concrete. Recent developments in load bearing cellular concrete opens the possibility of using such concretes for structural applications. This paper shows that a bilinear model for stress-strain relationship of cellular concrete is adequate to analyze the performance of cellular concrete panels by means of a numerical technique. The prediction of the numerical modeling shows good agreement with experimental results.
