The purpose of this paper is to present an analysis method which can exactly analyze load-deflection relationships. crack propagations and stresses and strains of steel reinforccnlent and concrete in hehaviors of elastic, mclastic and ultlmate ranges of reinforced concretc beams under monotonically increasing loads. For these purposes, the material nonlinearities are taken into account by comprising the tension. compression and shear models of cracked concrete and a model for reinforcement in the concrete. Smeared crack model is used as a modeling of concrete. The steel reinforcement is assumed to be in an uniaxial stress state and modeled srncaretl layers of eqivalent thickness and line elernents for correct positiori arid behavior. For the verification of application and validity of the method proposed in this paper, several numerical examples are analyzed and compared with those from other researchers. As a results, this method shown in 3.5-15(%) error is correct.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the seismic behavior of circular reinforced concrete bridge piers with confinement steel and to provide the data for developing improved seismic design criteria. Fourteen circular reinforced concrete bridge piers were tested under a constant axial load and a cyclically reversed horizontal load. The accuracy and objectivity of the assessment process may be enhanced by the use of sophisticated nonlinear finite element analysis program. A computer program, named RCAHEST (Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology), for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures was used. In the companion paper, the proposed numerical method for the seismic performance assessment of circular reinforced concrete bridge piers with confinement steel is verified by comparison with experimental results.

This paper concentrates on the analysis of deflection of the reinforced concrete flexural members under monotonic loading. Concrete is treated as an orthotropic nonlinear material. The concept of equivalent strain and crack strain are used to establish independent stress-strain relationships in the directions of orthotropy. Steel is modeled as an elstoplastic material, and von Mises failure criterion is applied. The finite element computer program for the nonlinear analysis of the deflection of RC flexural members under monotonic loading is developed. The accuracy and reliability of the numerical procedure is demonstrated by the FEM analysis and experiments of the under reinforced concrete beams over the entire loading range up to failure.

To estimate the retained strength of reinforced concrete structure after fire is very difficult because the complex behavior of structure is hard to understand during course of a fire. However, the damages which is caused by fire of the traffic facility infrastructure are enormous. Therefore the security against fire is important element that must not be overlooked. For this reason, an exact estimate method of the fire endurance is highly demanded. In this study, the validity of the nonlinear finite element method approach for the fire endurance of reinforced concrete structure is verified. The results of fire endurance estimate of underground road way by nonlinear finite element method approach are compared with those by ACI 216R-89.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the seismic performance of reinforced concrete bridge columns with interlocking circular hoops. Three interlocking columns were tested under a constant axial load and a quasistatic, cyclically reversed horizontal load. A computer program, RCAHEST (Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology) was used for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures. The used numerical method gives a realistic prediction of performance throughout the loading cycles for several test specimens investigated. Based on the experimental and analytical results, design recommendations are presented to improve the existing practice in the design and construction of reinforced concrete bridge columns with interlocking circular hoops.
