Static loading tests were carried out in this study to investigate the effect of bar cutoff on the resistance of RC beam-column sub-assemblages under column loss. Two specimens were designed with continuous main reinforcement. Four others were designed with different types of bar cutoff in the mid-span and/or the beam-end regions. Compressive arch and tensile catenary responses of the specimens under gravitational loading were compared. Test results indicated that those specimens with approximately equal moment strength at the beam ends had similar peak loading resistance in the compressive arch phase but varied resistance degradation in the transition phase because of bar cutoff. The compressive bars terminated at one-third span could help to mitigate the degradation although they had minor contribution to the catenary action. Among those cutoff patterns, the K-type cutoff presented the best strength enhancement. It revealed that it is better to extend the steel bars beyond the mid-span before cutoff for the two-span beams bridging over a column vulnerable to sudden failure. For general cutoff patterns dominated by gravitational and seismic designs, they may be appropriately modified to minimize the influence of bar cutoff on the progressive collapse resistance.

구조역학에 기초한 보의 종방향 휨모멘트변화율과 전단력의 관계와 본 연구자가 이전에 발표한 아취모델을 이용하여 복부보강이 안된 철근콘크리트 보의 전단강도 예측식을 제안하였다. 이론적으로 유도된 본 연구의 전단강도식은 주로 실험결과에 기초한 ACI 318 전단강도식과 비슷한 형태이다. 본 연구에서 제안한 식은 콘크리트 압축강도, 주인장철근비 및 전단지간대 유효높이의 비가 주변수이며, 보작용과 아취작용의 조합에 의한 철근콘크리트 보의 전단저항메카니즘이 합리적으로 반영되어 있다. 본 연구에서 제안한 전단강도식은 ACI 318 전단강도식 및 Zsutty의 전단강도식과 함께 기존의 실험결과와 비교되었다.

This paper documents an experimental study of dynamic response of reinforced concrete beams following instantaneous removal of a bearing column. Four half-scale specimens representing two-span beam bridging across the removed column were tested. The test boundary conditions simulated rotational and longitudinal restraints imposed on a frame beam by the neighboring structural components. The gravity loads were simulated by attaching mass blocks on the beams at three locations. Dynamic loading effects due to sudden removal of a column were simulated by quickly releasing the supporting force at the middle of the specimens. The experimental study investigated the load-carrying capacity of beams restrained longitudinally at the boundaries and dynamic impact on forces. The tests confirmed the extra flexural strength provided by compressive arch action under dynamic loading. The tests also indicated that the dynamic amplification effects on forces were much lower than that assumed in the current design guideline for progressive collapse.

To explore the effect of Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) on improving the progressive collapse resistance of reinforced concrete frames under a middle column removal scenario, six beam-column substructures were tested by quasistatic vertical loading. Among the six specimens, four were ECC-concrete composite specimens consisting of different depth of ECC at the bottom or top of the beam and concrete in the rest of the beam, while the other two are ordinary reinforced concrete specimens with different concrete strength grades for comparison. The experimental results demonstrated that ECC-concrete composite specimens can improve the bearing capacity of a beam-column substructure at the stages of compressive arch action (CAA) and catenary action in comparison with ordinary concrete specimen. Under the same depth of ECC, the progressive collapse resistance of a specimen with ECC at the beam bottom was superior to that at the beam top. With the increase of the proportion of ECC arranged at the beam bottom, the bearing capacity of a composite substructure was increased, but the increase rate slows down with the proportion. Meanwhile, the nonlinear numerical analysis software MSC Marc was used to simulate the whole loading process of the six specimens. Theoretical formulas to calculate the capacities of ECC-concrete composite specimens at the stages of flexural action, CAA and catenary action are proposed. Based on the research results, this study suggests that ECC should be laid out at the beam bottom and the layout depth should be within 25% of the total beam depth.

전단 경간비를 실험 변수로 하여 철근콘크리트 보에 대한 1방향 단조재하의 전단실험을 실시하였다. 실험에 병행하여 실시한 유한요소 해석과 실험결과를 기초로 전단 경간비가 작은 보의 전단내력을 구하는 해석 방법과 주근의 부착작용의 효과를 고려한 crooked main strut과 sub strut으로 구성되는 새로운 매크로 모델을 제안하였다. 그 결과 전단 경간비가 0.75 이하에서 본 연구에서 제안한 매크로 모델이 형성 가능하다는 것과 콘크리트 압축강도의 유효계수를 0.75로 하였을 때 실험 결과와 해석 결과가 가장 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.

콘크리트 부재의 내진설계에 있어 강도와 더불어 변형 능력은 중요한 요소이다. 연결보는 전단 지배 부재임에도 항복 이후 소성 변형을 요구하는 부재인데 본 연구에서는 연결보의 변형 능력에 대한 실험을 통해 변형 모형을 제시하였다. 일반적인 배근 형태를 가진 철근 콘크리트 연결보를 대상으로 단조하중실험을 수행하였다. 경간-깊이비, 휨 철근비, 전단 철근비를 변수로 하여 연결보의 거동을 평가하였다. 전단 지배 부재인 연결보는 아치작용과 트러스 작용으로 전단력에 대해 저항하는데 실험 결과를 통해 전단력을 두 작용의 구분과 항복 강도 발현 이후 소성 변형에 따른 두 작용의 구성비 변화에 대해 분석하였다. 실험결과에 기초한 전단 철근과 휨 철근의 변형률 분포 모형을 이용하여 휨 철근의 응력 상태를 산정하였다. 휨 철근의 부착-미끄러짐에 의해 결정되는 균열폭을 고려하는 연결보의 변형 모형을 제시하였다. 항복 상태는 휨 철근의 항복 시점으로 정의하였고, 극한 상태는 변형 증가에 따른 스트럿의 압축 강도 저하에 의해 결정되었다. 이 변형 모형은 변위기초설계에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

An experimental investigation on the behavior of reinforced concrete coupling beams is presented. The test variables are the span-to-depth ratio, the ratio of flexural reinforcement and the ratio of shear rebar. The distribution of arch action and truss action which compose the mechanism of shear resistance is discussed. This study proposes the deformation model for reinforced concrete coupling beams considering the bond slip of flexural reinforcement. The yielding of flexural reinforcements determines yielding states and the ultimate states of reinforced concrete coupling beam are defined as the ultimate compressive strain of struts and the degradation of compressive strength due to principal tensile strain of struts. It is expected that this model can be applied to displacement-based design methods.

This paper presents a deformable strut-and-tie model of determining the shear strengths and ultimate deformations of the shear-dominant reinforced concrete members. The proposed model originates from the strut-and-tie model concept and satisfies equilibrium, compatibility, constitutive laws, and the geometric conditions of shear deformation. This study attempts to apply deformation patterns to strut-and-tie models. The yielding of flexural reinforcements determines yielding states and the ultimate states of reinforced concrete coupling beam are defined as the ultimate compressive strain of struts and the degradation of compressive strength due to principal tensile strain of struts. The validity and accuracy of the proposed model is then tested against available experimental data. The parameters reviewed include the ratios of truss action and arch action, the reinforcement ratios, and the shear span-depth ratio. It is expected that this model can be applied to displacement-based design methods.
