Ductility is important in the design of reinforced concrete structures. In seismic design of reinforced concrete members, it is necessary to allow for relatively large ductility so that the seismic energy is absorbed to avoid shear failure or significant degradation of strength even after yielding of reinforcing steels in the concrete member occurs. Therefore, prediction of the ductility should be as accurate as possible. The principal aim of this paper is to present the basic data for the ductility evaluation of reinforced high-strength concrete beams. Accordingly, 23 flexural tests were conducted on full-scale structural concrete beam specimens having concrete compressive strength of 40, 60, and 70MPa. The test results were then reviewed in terms of flexural capacity and ductility. The effect of concrete compressive strength, web reinforcement ratio, tension steel ratio, and shear span to beam depth ratio on ductility were investigated experimentally.

Experiments have been carried out on six composite and two plain steel plate girders under shear loading to understand the elastic and inelastic behaviour of such girders. The failure mechanism assumed and used to develop design equations is normally based on the failure patterns observed in the experiments. Therefore, different types of cracks and failure patterns observed in the experiments are reviewed briefly first. Based on the observed failure patterns, a design method to predict the ultimate shear capacity of composite plate girders is proposed in this paper. The values of ultimate shear capacity obtained using the proposed design method are compared with the corresponding experimental values and it is found that the proposed method is able to predict the shear capacity accurately.

The paper is concerned with the behavior of tapered steel plate girders, primarily subjected to shear loading; experimental as well as finite element results obtained from the studies are presented in this paper. In the experimental study, 11 large-scale girders, one of uniform section and 10 tapered, were tested to failure and all girders were analysed by finite element method. The results are compared and the accuracy of the finite element modeling established. A parametric study was carried out with thickness of web, loading direction and taper angle as parameters. An analytical model, based on Cardiff model for girders of uniform cross-section, is also proposed in the paper.

The analysis of steel-concrete composite joints presents some particular aspects that increase their complexity when compared to bare steel joints. In particular, the influence of slab reinforcement and column concrete encasement clearly change the moment-rotation response of the joint. Starting from an energy approach developed in the context of steel joints, an extension to composite joints is presented in this paper that is able to provide closed-form analytical solutions. In addition, the possibility of tri-linear or non-linear component behaviour is also incorporated in the model, enabling adequate treatment of the influence of cracked concrete in tension and the softening response of the column web in compression. This methodology is validated through comparison with experimental tests carried out at the University of Coimbra.

Concrete is a brittle material and weak in tension. Traditionally, web reinforcement in the form of vertical stirrups is used in reinforced concrete (RC) beams to take care of principal stresses that may cause failure when they are subjected to shear stresses. In recent decades, the potential of various types of fibers for improving post-cracking behavior of RC beams and replacing stirrups completely or partially have been studied. It has been shown that the use of steel fibers randomly dispersed and oriented in concrete has a significant potential for enhancing mechanical properties of RC beams. However, the studies on deep steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams are limited when compared to those focusing on slender beams. An experimental program consisting of three RC and nine SFRC deep beams without stirrups were conducted in this study. Besides, various models developed for predicting the ultimate shear strength and diagonal cracking strength of SFRC deep beams without stirrups were applied to experimental data obtained from the literature and this study.

T형 벽체는 웨브 벽체와 평행한 방향으로 횡력이 작용할 때 그 작용 방향에 따라 다른 강성과 강도를 갖는다. 특히, 플랜지벽체에 인장력이 작용할 때 플랜지 벽체내 철근의 기여로 인하여 벽체의 휨강도가 상승하게 되는데 이것은 전단지체 현상에 기인한 것이다. 이러한 전단지체 현상에 따라 플랜지 벽체는 전체 폭이 웨브 벽체와 일체로 거동하지 못하고, 일정한 부분만이 웨브 벽체와 함께 거동하게 되는데, 이러한 범위를 유효 폭이라 하며, 이러한 유효 폭은 구조물의 실제적인 강도와 강성을 예측하는데 중요한 역할을 하게되므로 반드시 구명되어야 할 요소라 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 실험을 통하여 웨브 벽체 단부에 기존의 양단부 보강상세를 갖는 T형 벽체의 실제적인 강도와 유효 폭을 평가하고자 한다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 3개의 실험체를 제작하였으며 0.1 $f_{ck}$ . $A_{g}$의 축력을 실험이 진행되는 동안 일정하게 유지하면서, 반복가력 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 유효 폭은 횡변위의 증가에 따라 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며 최대강도 발현시 h/3에 해당하는 전체 플랜지가 유효 폭으로 작용하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로, PCI나 국내 기준에 의한 h/10의 유효 폭은 웨브 벽체 단부에 주어진 보강상세를 갖는 벽체에 대하여 적절치 못한 것으로 사료된다..

철근콘크리트보에서의 아취작용에 대한 현상을 파악하기 위해 전단지간 대 유효높이의 비 (a/b), 철근비, 전단철근의 유무등을 변수로 하여 총 16개의 시험체를 제작하여 실험하였다. 실험결과, 철근콘크리트보에서 아취현상은 최초로 보에 휨균열이 발생되면서 시작되고, 휨균열이 전단지간 중앙위치까지 발생되면 아취현상이 현저해져 보의 전체적 거동을 지배하는 것으로 나타났다. 철근콘크리트보의 전체적 거동이 아취작용에 이해 주로 지배되면, 전단지간내에서 측정된 철근인장력은 계산된 철근인장력보다 휠씬 크게 나타났다. 철근콘크리트보에서 아취현상은 지점쪽에 가까울수록, 철근비가 낮을수록 헌저하고, 전단보강을 함으로서 아취현상은 작아졌다. 철근콘크리트보에서 아취현상은 a/b가 작아질수록 증가되고, a/b가 3이하에서는 아취현상이 지배적이었다. 전단보강이 안된 a/b가 3이하의 보에서는 최종하중단계에서 타이드 아취현상이 현저하여 철근 길이\ulcorner향에 따른 철근인장력은 거의 동일한 값을 나타냈다.

In many manufacturing processes such as web formation, manufacturing of paper and nonwoven, fabric weaving, etc., planar sheets are transported and at the same time appropriate tension is imposed. The input material rolled up on beams is fed by unwinding the beam and the processed is then taken up on beams by winding it. While processed, the planar sheets are thrown under the processing load of impulse form, which causes irregular thickness of the processed sheet. To improve the quality of the product, a dynamic model is needed and the dynamic characteristics is to be analyzed by simulation. This study shows that density variation dynamics of the in-process-sheet in the machine direction can be described at each moment of disturbing impacts in forms of difference equations, while the impacts and tension, the time-dependency of the material properties were taken into account. Simulation showed the most serious variation of the density occurred in the process starting phase. The starting velocity curve with step form showed the least variation of the density. As the time order of the function of the starting velocity cure becomes higher, the density variation gets greater.

A comprehensive analytic study has been conducted to investigate the instability problems of metal-plate-connected (MPC) joints in light frame trusses. The primary objective in this study is to determine the governing factors that constitute the buckling of the metal connectors and their effects on the structural response of joints. Another objective is to recommend design curves for the daily structural design of these joints. The numeric data presented in this paper has emerged from a broad base that was founded on over 350 advanced computer simulations, and was supported by available experimental results obtained by others. This basic-to-applied research includes practical engineering parameters such as size of gaps, shear lengths, gauge (plate thickness) of connectors, size of un-braced areas, failure modes, and progressive disintegration of joints. Square-end members have been emphasized though the results cover the custom-made fitted joints. The results indicate that chord shears cause and dominate the buckling of MPC joints, and the shear length has a more pronounced effect than the size of gaps. Further, large gauges and small un-braced areas improve the buckling response. Several practical recommendations have been suggested throughout the paper such as keeping the ratio of gap/shear length below 3/4 for improving the buckling strength. The study reveals that multi-area joints should not be simplified as single web-to-chord MPC joints such as keeping the ratio of gap/shear length below 3/4 for improving the buckling strength, even where one web is in tension and the other in compression. Finally, the results obtained from this study favorably agree with experimental data by others, and the classic buckling theories for other structural components.
