The Effect of Axial Force on the Behavior and Average Crack Spacing of Reinforced Concrete Flexural Member

축력이 철근콘크리트 휨부재의 거동과 평균 균열간격에 미치는 영향

This study was performed to verify the effect of axial force due to restraint on the mechanical behavior and the average crack spacing of the reinforced concrett. ilexural menlbers. For. this purpose, the flexural sttvngt.h and rigidity werc experimentally investigated undcl. axially rcstmined and unr.est.rainrd conditions. Furthermore , the average crack spacing was also checkcd for the axilly restrained contlit.ion. Thc test results showd that the flexual strength and rigidity of t,he restrained beam were higher. than those of the unrestrained beam. The major. factors affecting on the average crack spacing were steeel stress, axial force, cicumference of reinforcing bar and effective tension arm of concrete. However. the concrete compressive strength was minor effect. Including thesc factors, a prediction equation for the average crack spacing of the restrained member was proposed.

본 연구는변형구속에 의해 생기는 축력이 철근콘크리트 휨부재의 역학적 거동과 평균 균열간격에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 변형구속 및 무구속 조건하에서의 휨강도와 휨강성을 실험으로 구하였으며, 또한 축방향 구속을 받는 휨부재의 평균 균열간격을 예측하는 식을 제안하였다.
