Abstract
The paper proposes a generalized shell formulation devised for the triaxial stress analysis of Through-the-Thickness (TT) confining mechanisms induced by TT Jacketing (TTJ) devices in laminated composite structures, such as masonry walls retrofitted by stirrups-tied FRP sheets and TT jacketed concrete sandwich panels. Assuming a smeared description of TT reinforcements, the proposed shell formulation is constructed as an enhancement of the classical laminated shell formulation based on the Equivalent Single Layer Mindlin First-order Shear Deformation Theory (ESL-FSDT). This enhancement captures TT stretching by adding the TT displacement field among the kinematic variables and permits to describe the smeared TTJ interaction between transverse uniaxial reinforcements and confined layers in terms of continuum equilibrium and compatibility equations. Statics and kinematics of the shell are developed by following standard work-association arguments and encompassing both TT-laminated and TT-functionally graded structures. A nonlinear elasto-plastic constitutive behavior of the core material and of the TT reinforcements is considered and explicit representations of the elasto-plastic tangent operator are derived. The TTJ formulation is combined with a MITC finite element formulation and implemented in the research FE code Opensees. Results of nonlinear structural analyses of walls subject to in-plane and out-of-plane bending show that the proposed TTJ approach provides physically meaningful predictions of the structural response and is capable to efficiently track a complex triaxial confining interaction which ultimately results into marked global structural effects of increased stiffness, strength and ductility. © 2017 Elsevier Lt
