Nominal shear strength of concrete beam is the combined strength of concrete shear strength and steel shear strength in current design code. But Torsional moment strength of concrete is neglected in calculation of the nominal torsional moment strength of reinforced concrete beam in current revised code. Tensile stress of concrete strut between cracks is still in effect due to tension stiffening effect. But the tensile stresses of concrete after cracking are neglected in bending and torsion in design. The torsional behavior is similar to the shear behavior in mechanics. Therefore the torsional moment strength of concrete should be concluded to the nominal torsional moment strength of reinforced concrete beam. To verify the validity of the proposed model, the nominal torsional moment strengths according to CEB, two ACI codes(89, 99) and proposed model are compared to experimental torsional strengths of 55 test specimens found in literature. The nominal torsional moment strengths by the proposed model show the best results.

The current design equations for predicting the torsional capacity of RC members underestimate the torsional strength of under-reinforced members and overestimate the torsional strength of over-reinforced members. This is because the design equations consider only the yield strength of torsional reinforcement and the cross-sectional properties of members in determining the torsional capacity. This paper presents an analytical model to predict the thickness of shear flow path in RC beams subjected to pure torsion. The analytical model assumes that torsional reinforcement resists torsional moment with a sufficient deformation capacity until concrete fails by crushing. The ACI 318 code is modified by applying analytical results from the proposed model such as the average stress of torsional reinforcement and the effective gross area enclosed by the shear flow path. Comparison of the calculated and observed torsional strengths of existing 129 test beams showed good agreement. Two design variables related to the compressive strength of concrete in the proposed model are approximated for design application. The accuracy of the ACI 318 code for the over-reinforced test beams improved somewhat with the use of the approximations for the average stresses of reinforcements and the effective gross area enclosed by the shear flow path.

This paper develops an optimized torsional design method of asymmetric wall structures considering deformation capacities of walls. Contrary to the current torsional provisions, a deformation based torsional design is based on the assumption that stiffness and strength are dependent. Current torsional provisions specify two design eccentricity of stiffness to calculate the design forces of members. But such a methodology leads to an excessive over-strength of some members and an optimal torsional behavior is not ensured. Deformation-based torsional design uses displacement and rotation angle as design parameters and calculates base shear for inelastic torsional response directly. Because optimal torsional behavior can be defined based on the deformation of members, deformation based torsional design procedure can be applied to the optimal and performance-based torsional design. To consider the effect of accidental eccentricity, an over-strength factor is defined. The over-strength factor is determined from performance level, torsional resistance and arrangement of walls.

콘크리트의 압축파괴에 의한 취성적인 비틀림파괴와 사인장균열의 폭을 제한하기 위하여 콘크리트구조기준은 비틀림보강철근의 항복강도를 제한하고 있다. 2012년에 콘크리트구조기준에서는 비틀림보강철근의 항복강도를 400 MPa에서 500 MPa로 상향하였다. 그 이유는 500 MPa의 비틀림보강철근을 사용한 비틀림부재의 경우에도 전단파괴하는 부재와 유사하게 기준에서 요구하는 비틀림파괴모드, 사용성, 경제성을 만족시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단하였기 때문이다. 그러나 현재 고강도 비틀림보강철근을 사용한 비틀림부재에 대한 연구는 전단부재에 대한 연구에 비하여 부족한 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 340 MPa, 480 MPa, 667 MPa의 비틀림보강철근을 사용한 철근콘크리트 보의 비틀림거동을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 실험에 의하면 비틀림보강철근의 파괴모드는 비틀림보강철근의 항복강도와 콘크리트의 압축강도에 의하여 영향을 받았다. 비틀림보강철근의 항복강도가 400 MPa이하인 경우에는 콘크리트의 압축강도와 무관하게 한 곳 이상에서 비틀림보강철근이 항복강도에 도달하여 비틀림인장파괴하였지만, 항복강도가 480 MPa 이상인 경우에는 비틀림보강철근이 항복하지 않는 경우가 발생하여 이에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

전단문제에서는 일부 설계기준(AASHTO 1994)에 이미 수정압축장이론이 도입되었다. 그리고 현행 콘크리트 설계기준에는 콘크리트의 전단강도가 철근의 전단강도와 합하여 공칭전단강도를 계산하고 있다. 그러나 최근에 개정된 콘크리트설계기준에는 콘크리트의 비틀림강도가 공칭비틀림강도 계산에서 누락되었다. 콘크리트의 인장응력은 비록 크기가 작으나 균열후에 균열사이의 콘크리트에 존재한다. 그러나 휨과 비틀림문제에서는 균열 후 콘크리트의 인장강성은 생략되고 있다. 역학적으로 콘크리트보의 비틀림거동은 전단거동과 매우 유사하다. 그러므로 균열 후 콘크리트의 비틀림강도를 철근콘크리트 보의 공칭비틀림강도의 계산에 포함시켜야 한다. 본 논문에서는 콘크리트의 평균주인장응력이 이루는 콘크리트의 비틀림강도를 횡방향 비틀림철근의 비틀림강도와 함께 공칭비틀림강도를 구성함을 밝혔으며, 이의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 개정 전후의 ACI 의 설계기준에 의한 공칭비틀림강도와 함께 실험값과 비교하였다. 그 결과 본 논문이 제안한 모델에 의한 공칭비틀림강도가 가장 좋은 결과를 보였다.

The application of radial basis function neural networks (RBFN) to predict the ultimate torsional strength of reinforced concrete (RC) beams is explored in this study. A database on torsional failure of RC beams with rectangular section subjected to pure torsion was retrieved from past experiments in the literature; several RBFN models are sequentially built, trained and tested. Then the ultimate torsional strength of each beam is determined from the developed RBFN models. In addition, the predictions of the RBFN models are also compared with those obtained using the ACI 318 Code equations. The study shows that the RBFN models give reasonable predictions of the ultimate torsional strength of RC beams. Moreover, the results also show that the RBFN models provide better accuracy than the existing ACI 318 equations for torsion, both in terms of root-mean-square error and coefficients of determination.

This study aims at developing a torsional strength model based on a nonlinear analysis method presented in the previous studies. To this end, flexural neutral axis depth of a reinforced concrete section and effective thickness of an idealized thin-walled tube were formulated based on reasonable approximations. In addition, various sectional force components, such as shear, flexure, axial compression, and torsional moment, were considered in estimating torsional strength by addressing a simple and linear strain profile. Existing test results were collected from literature for verifications by comparing with those estimated from the proposed model. On this basis, it can be confirmed that the proposed model can evaluate the torsional strength of RC members subjected to combined loads with a good level of accuracy, and it also well captured inter-related mechanisms between shear, bending moment, axial compression, and torsion.

To reduce the structural weight, thin-walled circular composite tube has been used as a main spar of high altitude-long endurance unmanned air vehicle(HALE UAV). Predicting the torsional response of stiffened circular spar is complex due to the inhomogeneous nature of section properties, which are dependent on fiber architecture and constituent material properties. The stiffener were placed in the top and bottom sectors of a tube to increase the torsional capabilities such as the rigidity and buckling strength. Numerical simulations were performed to estimate the effect of the stiffener on the torsional capacities. A static experimental test was performed on a stiffened tube, and the test results were compared with a numerical model. The numerical models showed good correlation and demonstrated the ability to predict the torsional capacity. Results presented herein will exhibit the effectiveness of stiffener on torsional strength and stiffness.

In a previous study, design charts where proposed to help the torsional design of axially restricted reinforced concrete (RC) beams with squared cross section. In this article, new design charts are proposed to cover RC beams with rectangular cross section. The influence of the height to width ratio of the cross section on the behavior of RC beams under torsion is firstly shown by using theoretical and experimental results. Next, the effective torsional strength of a reference RC beam is computed for several values and combinations of the study variables, namely: height to width ratio of the cross section, concrete compressive strength, torsional reinforcement ratio and level of the axial restraint. To compute the torsional strength, the modified Variable Angle Truss Model for axially restricted RC beams is used. Then, an extensive parametric analysis based on multivariable and nonlinear correlation analysis is performed to obtain nonlinear regression equations which allow to build the new design charts. These charts allow to correct the torsional strength in order to consider the favourable influence of the compressive axial stress that arises from the axial restraint.

본 논문에서는 비틀림을 받는 RC 부재의 콘크리트 기여 강도를 포함하고 전단흐름두께를 합리적으로 고려한 비틀림 강도 추정식을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 극한비틀림 강도 추정식을 검증하기 위하여, 현행 콘크리트 구조기준(KCI 2017, ACI 318-14)에서 규정한 공칭비틀림강도와 Rahal의 비틀림강도 추정식, 본 논문에서 제시한 새로운 비틀림강도 추정식에 의한 이론값을 참고 문헌에서 발췌한 104개의 보에 대한 극한비틀림강도 측정값과 각각 비교 검토하였다. 그 결과 콘크리트 기여강도를 반영한 Rahal의 비틀림강도 추정식과 본 논문에서 제안한 비틀림강도 추정식에 의한 극한비틀림강도가 현행 설계기준이 규정한 공칭비틀림강도보다 실험값에 더 가깝게 나타났다.
