Due to the increase of the use of precast concrete structures in multistory buildings, this paper deals with the behavior of an specific type of beam-column connection used in this structural system. The connection is composed by concrete corbels, dowels and continuity bars passing through the column. The study was developed based on the experimental and numerical results. In the experimental analysis a full scale specimen was tested and for numerical study, a 3D computational model was created using a finite element analyze (FEA) software, called DIANA. The comparison of the results showed a satisfactory correlation between loading versus displacement curves.

This paper is currently being conducted to develop a nonlinear finite element analysis methods for predicting the structural behavior of reinforced concrete structures, exposed to fire. The changes in thermal parameters are discussed from the point of view of changes of structure and chemical composition due to the high temperature exposure. Although, this study considers codes standard fire for reinforced concrete frame, any other time-temperature relationship can be easily incorporated.

본 연구는 화재에 노출된 철근콘크리트 구조물의 열적 특성 및 구조 거동을 예측할 수 있는 비정상 온도 분포 해석 및 비선형 유한요소해석 기법 개발에 관한 것으로써, 범용 유한요소해석 프로그램인 DIANA를 이용하여 화재에 의한 고온을 받는 철근콘크리트 구조에 대한 수치해석을 수행하고 그 결과를 비교분석하였다. 고온을 받는 철근콘크리트 골조에 대한 수치해석은 시간의존 비정상 온도 분포 해석과 비선형 유한요소해석의 2단계로 진행된다. 비정상 온도 분포 해석에서는 열전도율, 열용량, 열팽창계수에 대한 시간의존 변수를 온도 함수로 표현하여 이를 고려하였으며, 비선형 유한요소해석에 있어서는 콘크리트의 비선형성과 균열을 고려하기 위하여 파괴 역학적 관점을 도입하였다. 또한 철근콘크리트 단순보에 대한 내화 실험을 실시하여, 재료의 열적 특성 및 해석 기법에 대한 검증을 실시하였다. 이러한 해석 기법을 철근콘크리트 골조로 확장하여 열에 의한 콘크리트 및 철근의 역학적 물성 변화 요인을 고려한 해석을 통하여 각각의 변수에 대한 비교 분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서의 고온 환경하의 철근콘크리트 구조물에 대한 비선형 유한요소해석기법은 온도에 따른 재료의 열적 특성 및 역학적 성능 및 화재-온도 곡선을 자유롭게 입력하여 고려할 수 있으며, 추후 관련 해석에 용이하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

Coupled thermo-mechanical analysis of reinforced concrete slab at elevated temperatures from a fire accounting for nonlinear thermal parameters is carried out. The main focus of the paper is put on a one-way continuous reinforced concrete slab exposed to fire from the single (bottom) side as the most typical working condition under fire loading. Although contemporary techniques alongside the fire protection measures are in constant development, in most cases it is not possible to avoid the material deterioration particularly nearby the exposed surface from a fire. Thereby the structural fire resistance of reinforced concrete slabs is mostly influenced by a relative distance between reinforcement and the exposed surface. A parametric study with variable concrete cover ranging from 15 mm to 35 mm is performed. As the first part of a one-way coupled thermo-mechanical analysis, transient nonlinear heat transfer analysis is performed by applying the net heat flux on the exposed surface. The solution of proposed heat analysis is obtained at certain time steps of interest by α-method using the explicit Euler time-integration scheme. Spatial discretization is done by the finite element method using a 1D 2-noded truss element with the temperature nodal values as unknowns. The obtained results in terms of temperature field inside the element are compared with available numerical and experimental results. A high level of agreement can be observed, implying the proposed model capable of describing the temperature field during a fire. Accompanying thermal analysis, mechanical analysis is performed in two ways. Firstly, using the guidelines given in Eurocode 2 - Part 1-2 resulting in the fire resistance rating for the aforementioned concrete cover values. The second way is a fully numerical coupled analysis carried out in general-purpose finite element software DIANA FEA. Both approaches indicate structural fire behavior similar to those observed in large-scale fire tests.
