1.2 Mechanical Properties Response of material to external loads All materials deform under load depending on: material properties magnitude and type of load geometry of the material element Mamlouk/Zaniewski, Materials for Civil and Construction Engineers, Third Edition. Copyright 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. 9

Loading Conditions Static (Dead) Loads long term applied and removed slowly so no vibrations usually due to gravity Dynamic (Live) Loads short term shock or vibration periodic repeating wave form (rotating equipment) transient quick impulse that decays back to resting (vehicles) random never repeats (earthquake) Mamlouk/Zaniewski, Materials for Civil and Construction Engineers, Third Edition. Copyright 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. 10

Static loading implies a sustained loading of the structure over a period of time. Generally, static loads are slowly applied such that no shock or vibration is generated in the structure. Loads that remain in place for an extended period of time are called sustained (dead) loads. In civil engineering, much of the load the materials must carry is due to the weight of the structure and equipment in the structure. Loads that generate a shock or vibration in the structure are dynamic loads. Dynamic loads can be classified as periodic, random, or transient Periodic loading Random loading Transient loading Mamlouk/Zaniewski, Materials for Civil and Construction Engineers, Third Edition.

Stress-Strain Relations All solid materials deform under load stress is like force (or load) with the size factored out so that we can directly compare different sizes stress = force / area s = F / A (psi, ksi, kpa, MPa, GPa) strain is like deformation with the size factored out strain = deformation / original length e = DL / L 0 (%, in/in, mm/mm) Mamlouk/Zaniewski, Materials for Civil and Construction Engineers, Third Edition.

Elastoplastic Behavior Most materials are linear elastic in small stress range and then plastic the transition point is elastic limit Elastic stretches bonds between atoms without rearranging them recoverable deformations (springs back) Plastic atomic bonds slip past each other and rearrange permanent deformations (doesn t spring all the way back) Mamlouk/Zaniewski, Materials for Civil and Construction Engineers, Third Edition. Copyright 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. 21

Stress Elastic Limit New elastic limit Response to further loading follows original stress-strain behavior Force is applied resulting in stress and strain When force is removed, stress returns to zero. Path is parallel to the initial slope of the curve. Part of the strain is recovered, this is elastic behavior. Part of the strain is permanent, this is plastic behavior. Plastic Strain Elastic Strain Total Strain Strain Reloading will resume to the highest previous stress level. Elastic limit is reset to the previous highest stress level.

Viscoelastic Behavior Strain is an instantaneous response to stress in elastic and elasto-plastic materials. In some cases, materials exhibit both viscous and elastic responses, which are known as viscoelastic. Viscosity: Resistance to flow (i.e., to shear force) for linear materials: = shear stress/rate of shear strain, unit Pa.s or cp Viscoelastic materials have both elastic and viscous response have delayed response to load application.

Time dependent response of viscoelastic materials (a good example is asphalt or some plastics) Mamlouk/Zaniewski, Materials for Civil and Construction Engineers, Third Edition. Copyright 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. 29

Deformation in Viscoelastic materials depends on o Duration of load o Rate of loading A quick shock or pulse may cause little deformation, while a sustained (or slowly increasing) load can cause much deformation o Temperature Deformation increases with an increase in temperature (i.e.viscosity decreases). Mamlouk/Zaniewski, Materials for Civil and Construction Engineers, Third Edition. Copyright 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. 30

Mechanisms associated with time-dependent deformation Creep Creep is the long-term deformation of the materials under sustained load. It can occur in metals, ionic and covalent cystals and amorphous materials. In order to observe a creep deformation on the materials, the load needs to be applied for a long time. For example, concrete, can creep over a period of decades. Viscous flow It is the other time-dependent behavior of materials under sustained loads. Viscous flow is associated only with amorphous materials and can occur under short term load duration. For example, asphalt pavements can deform under traffic loads with a load duration of only a fraction of a second. Mamlouk/Zaniewski, Materials for Civil and Construction Engineers, Third Edition.

Factor of Safety FS = (allowable stress / actual stress) FS = s s FS is proportional to cost and is chosen by: cost failure allowable > 1 material variability accuracy in considering all loads possible misuse The factor of safety (FS) is defined as the ratio of the stress at failure to the allowable stress for design (maximum anticipated stress): accuracy in measuring material response (good testing?)
