Concrete infill and reinforcement are one of the most well-known strengthening methods of structural elements. This study investigated flexural performance of concrete infill composite PHC pile (ICP pile) reinforced by infill concrete and longitudinal rebars in hollow PHC pile. A total four series of pile specimens were tested by four points bending method under simply supported conditions and investigated bending moment experimentally and analytically. From the test results, it was found that although reinforcement of infilled concrete on the pure bending moment of PHC pile was negligible, reinforcement of PHC pile using infilled concrete and longitudinal rebars increase the maximum bending moment with range from 1.95 to 2.31 times than that of conventional PHC pile. The error of bending moment between experimental results and predicted results by nonlinear sectional analysis on the basis of the conventional layered sectional approach was in the range of -2.54 % to 2.80 %. The axial compression and moment interaction analysis for ICP piles shows more significant strengthening effects of infilled concrete and longitudinal rebars.

This study experimentally investigates the flexural behavior of steel-UHPC composite slabs composed of an innovative negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) steel plate and Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) slab connected via demountable high-strength bolt shear connectors. Eight demountable composite slab specimens were fabricated and tested under traditional four-point bending method. The effects of loading histories (positive and negative bending moment), types of steel plate (NPR steel plate and Q355 steel plate) and spacings of high-strength bolts (150 mm, 200 mm and 250 mm) on the flexural behavior of demountable composite slab, including failure mode, load-deflection curve, interface relative slip, crack width and sectional strain distribution, were evaluated. The results revealed that under positive bending moment, the failure mode of composite slabs employing NPR steel plate was distinct from that with Q355 steel plate, which exhibited that part of high-strength bolts was cut off, part of pre-embedded padded extension nuts was pulled out, and UHPC collapsed due to instantaneous instability and etc. Besides, under the same spacing of high-strength bolts, NPR steel plate availably delayed and restrained the relative slip between steel plate and UHPC plate, thus significantly enhanced the cooperative deformation capacity, flexural stiffness and load capacity for composite slabs further. While under negative bending moment, NPR steel plate effectively improved the flexural capacity and deformation characteristics of composite slabs, but it has no obvious effect on the initial flexural stiffness of composite slabs. Meanwhile, the excellent crack-width control ability for UHPC endowed composite members with better durability. Furthermore, according to the sectional strain distribution analysis, due to the negative Poisson's ratio effect and high yield strength of NPR steel plate, the tensile strain between NPR steel plate and UHPC layer held strain compatibility during the whole loading process, and the magnitude of upward movement for sectional plastic neutral axis could be ignored with the increase of positive bending moment.

This paper presents an experimental investigation of the flexural behavior of square hollow steel section (HSS) beams subjected to pure bending. Totally six unfilled and nine ultra high performance concrete (UHPC)-filled HSS beams were tested under four-point bending until failure. The effects of the steel tube thickness, the yield strength of the steel tube and the strength of concrete on moment capacity, curvature, and ductility of UHPC-filled HSS beams were examined. The performance indices named relative ductility index (RDI) and strength increasing factor (SIF) were investigated with regard to different height-to-thickness ratio of the specimens. The flexural strengths obtained from the tests were compared with the values predicted by Eurocode 4, AISC-LRFD and CIDECT design codes. The results showed that the increase in the moment capacity and the corresponding curvature is much greater for thinner HSS beams than thicker ones. Eurocode 4 and AISC-LRFD predict the ultimate moment capacity of the all UHPC-filled HSS beams conservatively.

본 논문에는 국부좌굴이 발생하는 휨부재의 유한요소해석 및 실험에 근거한 단면의 휨강도에 대하여 기술하였다. 박판으로 구성된 휨부재는 단면조건 및 횡방향 경계조건에 따라서 국부좌굴, 횡-비틀림좌굴 및 두 좌굴의 혼합좌굴이 발생하게 된다. 플랜지나 복부의 폭-두 께비가 큰 경우 횡-비틀림좌굴 발생 이전에 국부좌굴이 발생하며, 국부좌굴은 휨부재의 횡-비틀림좌굴강도에 영향을 미치게 된다. 이런 현상은 박판 형강의 휨강도 산정 시 고려하여야 한다. 다양한 폭-두께비를 갖는 플랜지와 복부판으로 구성된 휨부재의 해석에 국부좌굴 및 횡좌굴 모드의 초기처짐 및 잔류응력을 포함하였다. 해석결과 및 실험에 근거하여 국부좌굴과 횡-비틀림좌굴을 고려하는 설계강도식을 제안하였다. 제안된 직접강도법은 실험에 근거한 강도식과 유효단면 대신 총단면의 단면계수를 사용한다. 제안된 강도식에 의한 휨강도를 AISC, EC3 및 도로교설계기준과 비교하여 보았다. 제안된 직접강도법은 국부좌굴과 횡-비틀림좌굴의 혼합 유무와 상관없이 휨부재의 휨강도를 적절하게 예측할 수 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

The present investigation is mainly focused on studying the flexural behavior of reinforced geopolymer concrete (RGPC) beams under pure bending. In this study, copper slag (CS) was used as a partial replacement of fine aggregate. Sand and CS were blended in different proportions (100:0, 80:20, 60:40 and 40:60) (sand:CS) by weight. Fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) were used as binders and combination of sodium hydroxide (8M) and sodium silicate solution were used for activating the binders. The reinforcement of RGPC beam was designed as per guidelines given in the IS 456-2000 and tested under pure bending (two-point loading) after 28 days of ambient curing. After conducting two point load test the flexural parameters viz., moment carrying capacity, ultimate load, service load, cracking moment, cracking load, crack pattern and ultimate deflection were studied. From the results, it is concluded that RGPC beams have shown better performance up to 60% of CS replacement.

The object of this study is to propose the bending moment-curvature relationships based on the bond properties between concrete and steel for noncraking zone, and evaluate the flexural displacement of reinforced concrete members. The bond-slip relationship and the strain hardening effect of steel were taken into account in order to evaluate the spacing of the cracks and the curvature distribution. Calculated curvature distribution along the longitudinal axis was transformed into equivalent curvature distribution. The flexural displacement was calculated by means of double intergral of the equivalent curvature. Calculated values are in good agreement with the experimental data.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the flexural behavior of concrete-filled round-ended steel tubes (CFRTs) under bending. Beam specimens were tested to investigate the mechanical behavior of the CFRTs, including four CFTs with different concrete strengths and steel ratios, and three CFRTs with varied aspect ratios. The load vs. deflection relationships and the failure modes for CFRTs were analyzed in detail. The composite action between the core concrete and steel tube was also discussed and examined based on the experimental results. In addition, ABAQUS program was used to develop the full-scale finite element model and analyze the effect of different parameters on the moment vs. curvature curves of the CFRTs bending about the major and minor axis, respectively. Furthermore, design formulas were proposed to estimate the ultimate moment and the flexural stiffness of the CFRTs, and the simplified theoretical model of the moment vs. curvature curves was also developed. The predicted results showed satisfactory agreement with the experimental and FE results. Finally, the differences of the experimental, FE and predicted results using the existing codes were illustrated.

In this paper, the bending characteristics of the corrugated plates is analyzed. The trapezoidally, triangularlly and sinusoidally corrugated plates are considered. The corrugated plate is treated as an orthotropic plate that has different flexural properties in two perpendicular directions. The equivalent bending and twisting rigidities for the equivalent orthotropic plates are derived. The equivalent flexural rigidities are estimated under the following postulations: (1) The angle of continuously corrugated plate is not changed after the deformation. (2) When the pure bending moment is applied in corrugated direction of the plate, the its plane is in pure bending. Several numerical examples are analyzed with the proposed method and compared with published results.

PHC 말뚝은 우수한 축하중 저항 능력에 비해 상대적으로 전단 및 휨 저항 성능이 낮은 단점을 가지고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 기존 PHC 말뚝의 단점을 개선할 목적으로 개발된 중공부에 내부충전 콘크리트, 축방향 철근과 전단 철근으로 보강한 합성 PHC 말뚝(ICP 말뚝)의 휨성능을 평가하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 기존의 교대 설계사례로 부터 말뚝에 발생하는 축력과 휨모멘트를 조사한 후, ICP 말뚝 계산을 위하여 개발한 축력-휨모멘트 상관관계 프로그램을 이용하여 허용 축력과 휨모멘트가 발생하는 부재력을 만족하도록 ICP 말뚝을 설계하였다. 설계에 따라 ICP 말뚝을 제작하였으며, 휨실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 ICP 말뚝은 PHC 말뚝에 비하여 약 45% 큰 휨내력을 나타내었다. 또한 계산에 의해 예측한 ICP 말뚝 휨강도의 25%를 허용 휨모멘트로 취할 경우, 약 4.5의 안전율을 갖는 것으로 평가되었다.

For several reasons, cold-formed steel (CFS) beams are often manufactured with holes. Nevertheless, because of holes, the reduction in the web area causes a decrease in the bending strength. Edge stiffeners are presently added around the holes to improve the bending strength of flexural members. Therefore, this research studies CFSZ-beams with stiffened holes and investigates how edge stiffener affects bending strength and failure modes. Nonlinear analysis was carried out using ABAQUS software and the developed finite element (FE) model was verified against tests from previous studies. Using the verified FE model, a parametric study of 104 FE models was conducted to investigate the influence of key parameters on bending strength of Z- sections. The results indicated that the effect of holes is less noticeable in very thin Z-sections. Moreover, adding edge stiffeners around the holes improves the flexural capacity of Z-beams and sometimes restores the original bending capacity. Because the computational techniques used to solve the CFS buckling mode with stiffened holes are still unclear, a numerical method using constrained and unconstrained finite strip method (CUFSM) software was proposed to predict the elastic distortional buckling moment for a wide variety of CFSZ-sections with stiffened holes. A numerical method with two procedures was applied and validated. Upon comparison, the numerical method accurately predicted the distortional buckling moment of CFS Z-sections with stiffened holes.
