Slippage of beam longitudinal reinforcement at beam-column connections is an important cause of damage to reinforced concrete frames under static and dynamic loads, This paper summarizes the results of an experimen¬tal study on the effects of confinements and compressive strength of concrete on the local bond stress-slip cha¬racteristics of deformed bars. I t is concluded from experimental results that, as far as the bond splittmg cracks are restrained by the vertical column reinforcement, confinement of concrete by transverse reinforcement has insignigicant direct effect on the local bond behavior. The ultimate bond strength, however, Increases pro¬portionally with the square root of concrete compressive strength. An empirical model was developed for local bond st ressslip relationslip of deformed bars in confined concrete of different compressive strengths.

The limitation of the yield strength in reinforced concrete columns is given for the effective use of high-strength steel bar, because very high-strength steel bar does not yield while concrete fails in compression. In order to overcome this limitation, it is required to increase peak strain of the concrete. The objective of this study is to examine the confinement effect of plate type lateral reinforcement in reinforced concrete columns. From this experimental study, the reinforced concrete columns confined by plate type carbon fiber sheets showed higher compressive strength and peak concrete strain comparing to the unconfined columns. The confinement effect is higher when cross-sectional type is a circular one than a square one. Moreover, the confinement effect was also higher for circular type confinement. Based on this study, high-strength steel bars with strength exceeding 800 MPa can be effectively used for reinforced concrete columns confined by plate type lateral reinforcements.

본 논문에서는 지진하중을 고려하여 충분한 연성거동이 가능하도록 배근한 철근콘크리트 횡하중 저항 골조(내진상세)와 고정하중과 적재하중만을 고려하여 설계한 중력하중 저항 골조(일반상세)를 대상으로 외부기둥과 내부기둥에 연결된 보의 연쇄붕괴 거동을 평가하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 일방향 가력실험 결과에 따르면 내진상세의 경우 대변형 상태에서 보의 하단철근의 파단이후 상단 압축철근이 인장력을 부담하면서 전체 보 부재는 축인장력이 작용을 하면서 힘-변위 곡선은 상승하는 현수작용이 발현되었다. 그러나 일반상세의 경우 충분한 현수작용이 발현되기 전에 보의 주근이 정착된 외부기둥 접합부의 파괴로 인하여 저항내력이 감소하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of solid reinforced concrete columns with triangular reinforcement details. The proposed reinforcement details has economic feasibility and rationality and makes construction periods shorter. A model of solid reinforced concrete columns with triangular reinforcement details was tested under a constant axial load and a quasi-static, cyclically reversed horizontal load. A computer program, RCAHEST (Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology), for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures was used. The used numerical method gives a realistic prediction of performance throughout the loading cycles for several test specimens investigated. As a result, proposed triangular reinforcement details for material quantity reduction was superior to existing reinforcement details in terms of required performance.

The longitudinal axial strain in the plastic hinge region of reinforced concrete (RC) columns influences on the structural behavior of RC structures subjected to reversed cyclic loading. This strain decreases the effective compressive strength of concrete and increases the lateral displacements between stories by causing the elongation of member length. This paper investigated the effects of the axial force on the elongation of a RC member by using a sectional analysis of RC members. The analytical and experimental results indicated that the axial force decreased the axial strain in the plastic hinge region of RC columns. In this study, a model was proposed to predict the axial strain of RC columns. The proposed model considering the effects of axial force ratio consisted of three path types ; Path 1-loading region, Path 2-unloading region, and Path 3-reversing cyclic loading region. The axal strains predicted by the proposed model were compared with the test results of RC columns with various axial force ratios, and agreed reasonably with the observed longitudinal strains.

This study summarizes the results of a research project aimed at investigating the inelastic rotation capacity of beam-column connections of reinforced concrete moment frames. A total of 91 test specimens for beam-column joint connections were examined in detail, and 28 specimens were classified as special moment frame connections based on the design and detailing requirements in the ACI 318-02 Provisions. Then the acceptance criteria, originally defined for steel moment frame connections in the AISC-02 Seismic Provisions, were used to evaluate the joint connections of concrete moment frames. Twenty-seven out of 28 test specimens that satisfy the design requirements for special moment frame structures provide sufficient strength and are ductile up to a plastic rotation of 0.03 rad. without any major degradation in strength. Joint shear stress, column-to-beam flexural strength ratio, and transverse reinforcement ratio in a joint all play a key role in good performance of the connections.

This paper presents an experimental result and suggests the confinement effect of headed cross tie in reinforced concrete(RC) columns subjected to cycling horizontal loads under constant axial load. Five RC columns specimens were manufactured, taking confined type of transverse reinforcement, whether or not using cross tie, end detail of cross tie (hooked or headed), and axial stress in column as major variables, Cyclic horizontal load applied to the columns under constant axial stress and the effect of cross tie to structural capacity of column was evaluated from the test. The column without cross tie failed showing bending deformation of hoop with crack in core concrete at low horizontal load while the column with cross tie showed quite improved strength and ductility by suppressing bending deformation of hoop as well as buckling of longitudinal bar at once even after crack in core concrete. At high lateral displacement, the column with hooked cross tie showed the failure pattern loosing the confining force of cross tie since the $90^{\circ}$ hooked part of cross tie was stretched out and the cracked core concrete lumps were came off. However, the column with headed cross tie showed very stable behavior since the head of cross tie effectively confined the hoop and longitudinal bars even at high lateral displacement.

The reinforced concrete beam-column connections are in lack of constructability and are likely to show anchorage failure because of the complex details of joint regions. Under seismic loads, a destruction of the column or the beam-column joint leads to collapse of the whole structures. For this reason, the safety of structures has to be guaranteed by following procedures which are based on the strong column-weak beam design concept: 1) failure of beam by generating plastic hinge in the beam maintained a certain distance from the surface of column, 2) failure of column or beam-column joint. In this study, headed bars were used as longitudinal reinforcements of beam and joint reinforcements in order to improve the strength and constructability of joint and to relocate plastic hinge. The finite element analyses (FEAs) were performed to the reinforced concrete beam-column joints utilizing headed bar reinforcements. To verify the availability of the analysis models, the FEAs for experimental tests performed by previous researchers were conducted and compared with the experimental results. Additional variables are also considered to confirm the excellence of headed bars. Analysis results indicate that the constructability of beam-column connections can be improved by using headed bars for the full anchorage of longitudinal reinforcements of beam under similar structural performance. In addition, the plastic hinge was relocated to the intended place by using headed bars as joint reinforcements. Under cyclic displacement loading, the energy dissipation capacity and ultimate stress were increased and the decrease in stiffness was minimized.

The present study emphasizes a nonlinear model to predict the shear behaviour of reinforced concrete interior beam-column joints. To model the shear behaviour of a panel zone in the beam-column joint, a modified softened truss model theory for in-plane shear prediction was introduced. This relationship was changed to define the characteristics for the rotational spring to represent the shear deformation in the joint by an equivalent moment-rotation relationship from the joint equilibrium. The analysis model was compared with experiments on reinforced concrete interior beam-column joints that were subjected to axial and shear forces, and the current model was found to accurately predict not only the shear force but also the shear deformation in the joint.
