The failure behavior of reinforced concrete beams is governed by the mechanical relationships between the shear span-to-effective depth ratio, flexural reinforcement ratio, load and support conditions, and material properties. In this study, two simple indeterminate strut-tie models which can reflect all characteristics of the failure behavior of reinforced concrete beams were proposed. The proposed models are effective for the beams with shear span-to-effective depth ratio of less than 3. For each model, a load distribution ratio, defined as the fraction of load transferred by a truss mechanism, is also proposed to help structural designers perform the rational design of the beams by using the strut-tie model approaches of current design codes. In the determination of the load distribution ratios, the effect of the primary design variables including shear span-to-effective depth ratio, flexural reinforcement ratio, and compressive strength of concrete was reflected through numerous material nonlinear analysis of the proposed indeterminate strut-tie models. In the companion paper, the validity of the proposed models and load distribution ratios was examined by applying them to the evaluation of the failure strength of 335 reinforced concrete beams tested to failure by others.

In this paper, the quantitative damage index for reinforced concrete (RC) columns with non-seismic details were presented. They are necessary to carry out the postearthquake safety evaluation of RC buildings under 5 stories without seismic details. The static cyclic test of the RC frame sub-assemblage that was an one span and actual-sized was first conducted. The specimen collapsed by the shear failure after flexural yielding of a column, lots of cracks on the surfaces of columns and beam-column joints and the cover concrete splitting at the bottom of columns occurred. The damage levels of these kinds of columns with non-seismic details were classified to five based on the load-displacement relationship by the test result. The residual story drift ratios and crack widths were then adapted as the quantitative index to evaluate the damage limit states because those values were comparatively easy to measure right after earthquakes. The highest one among the residual story drift ratios under the similar maximum story drift ratio decided on the residual story drift ratio of each damage limit state. On the other hand, the lowest and average ones among the respective residual shear and flexural widths under the similar maximum story drift ratio decided on the residual shear and flexural widths of each damage limit state, respectively. These values for each damage limit state resulted in being smaller than those by the international damage evaluation guidelines that are for seismically designed members under the same deformations.

The structural behavior of continuous reinforced concrete deep beams is mainly controlled by the mechanical relationships associated with the shear span-to-effective depth ratio, flexural reinforcement ratio, load and support conditions, and material properties. In this study, a simple indeterminate strut-tie model which reflects characteristics of the complicated structural behavior of the continuous deep beams is presented. In addition, the reaction and load distribution ratios defined as the fraction of load carried by an exterior support of continuous deep beam and the fraction of load transferred by a vertical truss mechanism, respectively, are proposed to help structural designers for the analysis and design of continuous reinforced concrete deep beams by using the strut-tie model approaches of current design codes. In the determination of the load distribution ratio, a concept of balanced shear reinforcement ratio requiring a simultaneous failure of inclined concrete strut and vertical steel tie is introduced to ensure a ductile shear failure of reinforced concrete deep beams, and the primary design variables including the shear span-to-effective depth ratio, flexural reinforcement ratio, and concrete compressive strength are implemented after thorough parametric numerical analyses. In the companion paper, the validity of the presented model and load distribution ratio was examined by applying them in the evaluation of the ultimate strength of multiple continuous reinforced concrete deep beams, which were tested to failure.

This study was aimed to suggest reliable information of shear strength characteristics due to change of saturation in the landfills or slopes during rainfall infiltration. According to the Mohr-Coulomb failure criteria, the characteristics of shear strength due to change of saturation were analyzed for the weathered residual soils which were sampled in the road construction site of Daejeon city. From the direct shear strength tests, the cohesions and the shear resistance angles were showed maximum values in the condition of optimum moisture content, and then decreased in the condition of wet side compaction. In this study, the cohesions were decreased more than 50% according to increasing saturation by infiltration for the compaction soils. But the reductions of the shear resistance angles were about $1{\sim}2^{\circ}$ which was small value, and thus the changes of the saturation were not nearly influenced the shear resistance angle. The influences of the saturation were seemed to very small for the residual strength parameters according to Mohr-Coulomb failure criteria.

최근 국내외에서 친환경건축물에 관한 관심이 매우 높아짐으로 인해 콘크리트의 물량을 절감하여 이산화탄소량을 줄이는 중공슬래브는 다양한 형태로 세계적으로 개발이 되고 있는 추세이다. 특히 이방향 중공슬래브는 환경적인 측면에서 이방향 중공슬래브는 중공부 생성에 재생플라스틱을 활용하여 폐자원을 재사용하고, 콘크리트와 철근의 사용량 절감에 따른 화석에너지 및 이산화탄소 발생량을 감소한다는 장점이 있다. 또한 시스템 측면에서 이방향 중공슬래브는 기존의 철근콘크리트 플랫플레이트 바닥구조 시스템의 자중을 절감하여 구조체를 경량화 시키고, 이에 따라 장스팬 구현이 가능하며, 단열효과가 뛰어나다. 이와 같이 이방향 중공슬래브는 장점이 많지만 플랫플레이트 슬래브의 취약점인 뚫림전단 파괴에 주의해야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 선행으로 실시된 이방향 중공슬래브-기둥 접합부 뚫림전단 성능평가 실험을 바탕으로 하여 경량체가 이방향 중공슬래브-기둥 접합부 뚫림전단 성능에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 범용 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS를 사용하여 경량체량 및 위치를 주요변수로 한 해석적인 변화를 검토하였다. 본 연구를 통해 경량체가 삽입된 이방향 중공슬래브의 뚫림전단 성능에 대해, 해석결과 경량체 량과 위치에 따라 최대 뚫림전단강도는 기준 실험체에 비해 74.3%, 73%의 강도저하를 나타내는 것으로 알 수 있었다. 이는 실험상의 강도저하 값인 84.1%, 56.4%와 다소 차이가 있으며, 해석에서 중공부 주위의 응력집중 현상이 제대로 반영되지 않은 것으로 판단된다. 또한 이방향 슬래브에 경량체를 삽입 할 경우 경량체가 시작하는 부분에서 응력이 급격히 감소하는 현상이 나타났으며, 이러한 급격한 응력감소는 기둥 주위 위험단면의 변화를 가져오는 것으로 추정된다. 즉, 위험단면의 변화는 기둥으로부터 경량체 사이의 거리에 따라 달라지며, 위험단면 내의 콘크리트 단면 손실은 뚫림전단 강도를 감소시킨다. 본 연구에서는 이방향 중공슬래브의 뚫림전단강도를 산정할 수 있는 근사식을 제안하였으며, 보다 정확한 이방향 중공슬래브의 뚫림전단강도의 산정식을 위해서는 위험단면의 변화와 콘크리트 단면손실로 인한 전단강도 저하의 관계에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.

In order to attain enhanced seismic performance of RC bridges, premature shear failure prior to the achievement of target ductilities of the piers should be prevented. For this purpose, a reliable shear strength evaluation is required. The shear strength of an RC column subjected to a lateral force decreases with an increase in ductility. Many empirical equations for the shear strength have been proposed by many researchers. However, there are many discrepancies in the initial shear strength in the low ductility range, and in the decrease rate according to the ductility. In this study, a new empirical equation of shear strength considering the displacement ductility effect has been proposed, in which the initial shear strength equation proposed by the authors was revised on the basis of the investigation of many other researchers' test results. The resulting improvement in accuracy is confirmed by comparison with other empirical equations.

Hollow slab is a floor system which reduces the load of vertical structural members and earthquake load by decreasing self-weight of slab. Although hollow slab can reduce self-weight of slab remarkably, flexural strength and shear strength reduce due to the hollow section inside the slab, so it is very important to predict structural behavior. In spite of plenty of domestic and foreign studies on hollow slab, there is a shortage of research on shear performance according to shear reinforcement of one-way hollow slab. Therefore, this study aims to verify the need for shear reinforcement of one-way hollow slab by analyzing failure modes of one-way hollow slab depending on the state of shear reinforcement and comparing shear strengths of estimation formula and experimental value with one another.

This study aims to determine the applicability of the previously published T-type modular profile beam in the manner of producing specimens designed specially for the said purpose, determining their bending and shear behaviors depending on the presence of shear reinforcement, and analyzing the results in comparison with the theoretical equation of plastic deformation. The modular profile beam contributes to bending and shear resistance with the addition of the profile to the form function, and enhances the molding performance through the modular concept. The experimental results showed that the TS series specimens with shear reinforcement have bending behaviors superior to those of the T series specimens without shear reinforcement, which suggests that the used shear reinforcement appropriately bears the shear force. However, it was considered that all the specimens except for the T1-1 specimen failed to have adequate bending performance because of the intermodular slipping caused by the shear failure of the bolts. It is expected that further studies on the T-type modular profile beam, in which shear connectors will be considered as a variable,be performed to develop optimal intermodular connection methods.

Although the flat plate system is an efficient structural type due to the simplicity of its construction, the low story height, and the various plan design, the slab-column connections are vulnerable to punching shear failure from gravity load and eccentric shear failure from lateral load. To prevent the structure collapse, various construction methods of slab-column connection reinforcement are developed but none of these satisfies all of structural performance, economics, and constructability. This paper presents the reinforcement of slab-column connection with lattice bars. The structural performance is confirmed with the interior slab-column connection tests subjected to cyclic loading, and the economic feasibility is demonstrated from the structural design under the same condition with lattice bars, stud rails, and stirrups.

In this study, an experimental study was performed to evaluate the concrete breakout strength of cast-in-place(CIP) anchors in cracked concrete under static shear loading. The CIP anchors involved in this study were 30mm in diameter with an edge distance of 150mm and an embedment length of 240mm. The experiment was carried out for two specimens in uncracked concrete and three specimens in cracked concrete orthogonal and parallel to the direction of shear loading, respectively. Compared to the uncracked concrete specimen, cracked specimen orthogonal to the direction of shear loading showed no reduction in the concrete breakout strength and that parallel to the load direction about 91% strength which corresponds to 84% of uncracked concrete strength defined in ACI 318-11. Therefore, the experimental results showed smaller decrease in the shear resistance of CIP anchors in cracked concrete than that specified in ACI code which account for 71% strength of uncracked concrete in cracked concrete.
