The purpose of this study is to investigate the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete Containment Panel subjected to earthquake motions. A computer program, named RCAHEST(Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology), was used for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures. A 4-node flat shell element with drilling rotational stiffness is used for spatial discretization. The layered approach is used to discretize behavior of concrete and reinforcement through the thickness. Material nonlinearity is taken into account by comprising tensile, compressive and shear models of cracked concrete and a model of reinforcing steel. The smeared crack approach is incorporated. Solution of the equations of motion is obtained by numerical integration using Hither-Hughes-Taylor(HHT) algorithm. The proposed numerical method for the seismic analysis of reinforced concrete Containment panel is verified by comparison of analysis results with reliable experimental results.

This paper presents a nonlinear finite element analysis procedure for the seismic performance assessment of reinforced concrete bridge piers with unbonded reinforcing or prestressing bars. A computer program named RCAHEST (Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology) is used to analyze reinforced concrete structures; this program was also used in our study. Tensile, compressive and shear models of cracked concrete and models of reinforcing and prestressing steel were used account for material nonlinearity of reinforced concrete. The smeared crack approach was incorporated. To represent the interaction between unbonded reinforcing or prestressing bar and concrete, an unbonded reinforcing or prestressing bar element based on the finite element method was developed in this study. The proposed numerical method for the seismic performance assessment of reinforced concrete bridge piers with unbonded reinforcing or prestressing bars is verified by comparison of its results with reliable experimental results.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the inelastic behavior of hollow reinforced concrete bridge piers under varying axial load. The role of the variable axial load is very important in the ductility, strength, stiffness, and energy dissipation. A computer program, named RCAHEST(Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology), for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures was used. Material nonlinearity is taken into account by comprising tensile, compressive and shear models of cracked concrete and a model of reinforcing steel. The proposed numerical method for the inelastic behavior of hollow reinforced concrete bridge piers under varying axial load is verified by comparison with reliable experimental results.

The purpose of this study is to offer an appropriate method of the degree of the flexural moment redistribution for continuous reinforced concrete beams. Twenty-four two-span continuous beams were selected to determine the manner and degree of moment redistribution. The concept of ductility is linked to the moment redistribution capacity and, consequently, the safety of the structure. Knowledge of the plastic rotation capacity of plastic regions of the structure is important for a plastic analysis or a linear analysis with moment redistribution. A nonlinear finite element analysis program named RCAHEST (Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology) was used to evaluate the ultimate strength and degree of moment redistribution. The nonlinear material model for the reinforced concrete is composed of models for characterizing the behavior of the concrete, in addition to a model for characterizing the reinforcing bars.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of precast concrete pier cap system. The proposed precast pier cap provides an alternative to current cast-in-place systems, particularly for projects in which a reduced construction time is desired. Five large-scale pier cap specimens were constructed and tested under quasistatic monotonic loading. The computer program, RCAHEST (Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology) was used for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures. A bonded tendon element is used based on the finite element method, and can represent the interaction between the tendon and concrete of a prestressed concrete member. A joint element is used in order to predict the inelastic behaviors of segmental joints with a shear key. This study documents the testing of the precast concrete pier cap system under monotonic loading and presents conclusions and design recommendations based on the experimental and analytical findings. Additional full-scale experimental research is needed to refine and confirm design details, especially for actual detailing employed in the field.

이 논문은 외부 강선으로 보강된 PSC 교량의 시공단계가 고려된 비선형거동 예측을 위한 연구이다. 해석시 비부착 텐던 요소와 유연도법에 근거한 보-기둥 요소를 사용하였다. 비부착 텐던 모델은 PSC 구조물의 콘크리트내의 텐던의 거동을 모사하며 포스트텐션 (posttensioned) 구조물의 프리스트레싱력과 전달을 효율적으로 모사할 수 있다. 이 모델은 여러 절점과 세그먼트로 구성되며 PSC 구조물내의 같은 위치의 텐던을 하나의 텐던 요소로 모사할 수 있다. 보-기둥 요소는 분산균열 개념에 기초한 철근콘크리트 비선형 재료모델을 포함하고 있다. 유연도법에 근거하여 유도된 보-기둥 요소의 각각의 파이버는 콘크리트와 철근의 일축 거동을 모사한다. 보-기둥요소와 비부착 텐던 요소는 RC 및 PSC 구조물의 상세 비선형해석을 수행할 수 있는 RCAHEST (reinforce concrete analysis in higher evaluation system technology)에 이식하였다. 외부 강선으로 보강된 PSC 구조물에 대한 수치기법은 신뢰성 있는 실험 결과와 비교하여 검증하였다.

철근콘크리트 깊은 보(deep beam)는 균열 후의 구조 및 재료적 비선형성으로 인하여 아직까지 명확한 이론적인 해석 방법과 설계 방법이 정립되어 있지 않은 상태이다. 현재 내하력 평가는 주로 교량 상부 구조물에 대하여 수행되어 왔고, 그 평가 방법에 대한 적용성과 결과에 많은 불합리성을 포함하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 철근콘크리트 릴은 보의 복잡한 전단거동 특성 및 전단강도를 해석적으로 평가하고, 이를 신뢰성 이론을 바탕으로 적절하고 합리적인 내하력 평가를 수행할 수 있는 방안을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. 정확하고 올바른 평가를 하기 위하여 비선형유한요소해석 프로그램 RCAHEST를 사용하였다. 재료적 비선형성에 대해서는 균열콘크리트에 대한 인장, 압축, 전단모델과 콘크리트 속에 있는 철근모델을 조합하여 고려하였다. 이에 대한 콘크리트의 균열 모델로서는 분산균열모델을 사용하였다. 이 연구에서 제안한 해석 기법과 재료적 비선형성을 고려한 해석모델을 신뢰성 있는 연구자의 실험 결과와 비교하여 그 타당성을 검증하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로, Euro Code기준으로부터 철근콘크리트 깊은 보의 파괴에 대한 목표신뢰도지수를 설정하였다. 신뢰성 해석을 통하여 파괴에 대한 목표신뢰도 지수를 만족하도록 하는 감소계수를 산정하였다. 이 연구에서 제안된 철근콘크리트 깊은 보의 내하력 평가 방안을 콘크리트 구조설계기준에 의한 평가 결과와의 비교 및 분석을 통하여 타당성을 검증하였다.

The objectives of this study are to investigate the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete bridge columns and to provide the data for developing improved seismic design criteria. The accuracy and objectivity of the assessment process can 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. Material nonlinearity is taken into account by comprising tensile, compressive and shear models of cracked concrete and a model of reinforcing steel. The low-cycle fatigue damage of both concrete and reinforcing bars has been also considered in order to predict a reliable seismic behavior. The proposed numerical method for the prediction of seismic behavior of reinforced concrete bridge columns is verified by comparison with the reliable experimental results.
