In the present paper the problem of monotonically compressed concrete columns is studied numerically, accounting for transverse steel reinforcement and concrete cracking. The positive confinement effect of the ties on the core concrete is modeled explicitly and studied in the case of distributed or concentrated vertical load. The main aim is to investigate the influence of transverse reinforcement steel characteristics on the column load carrying capacity and ductility, in order to provide an evaluation about some standards requirements about the class and ductility of steel to be used for ties. The obtained results show that the influence of transverse reinforcement steel class of ductility is negligible both on the column load carrying capacity and on its ductility. Also the dissipated energy is basically unchanged. In view of these evidences, some standards requirements about the steel class of ductility to be used for ties appear to be rather questionable.

본 연구에서는 인장 플랜지에 HSB 고성능 강재를 적용한 강합성 복합단면 I-거더의 정모멘트에 대한 휨저항강도 및 연성 요구조건을 검토하였다. AASHTO LRFD 설계기준에서 강합성 거더의 정모멘트에 대한 공칭 휨저항강도 및 연성 요구조건은 소성모멘트와 소성 중립축을 이용하여 규정하고 있으며, 이때 소성모멘트와 소성중립축은 일반 강재에 대하여 유도된 값이다, 하지만 응력-변형률 거동에서 일반강재와 다르게 HSB 고성능 강재의 소성영역은 명확히 정의될 수 없다. 따라서 고성능 강재의 이상화된 응력-변형률 곡선을 통해 고성능 강재의 소성영역을 가정하여 소성모멘트를 정의하였으며, 다양한 치수를 갖는 임의의 단면에 대하여 수행된 수치 해석의 결과를 통해 인장 플랜지에 HSB 고성능 강재를 적용한 강합성 복합단면 I-거더의 연성 요구조건 및 공칭 휨저항강도 산정식을 제안하였다.

In this study, seismic performance of low and medium-rise RC buildings with wide-beam and ribbed-slab were evaluated numerically. Moment resisting systems consisting of moment and dual frame were selected as structural system of the buildings. Sufficiency of moment resisting wide-beam frames designed with high ductility requirements were evaluated. Upon necessity frames were stiffen with shear-walls. The buildings were designed in accordance with the Turkish Earthquake Code (TEC 2007) and were evaluated by using the strain-based nonlinear static method specified in TEC. Second order (P-delta) effects on the lateral load capacity of the buildings were also assessed in the study. The results indicated that the predicted seismic performances were achieved for the low-rise (4-story) building with the high ductility requirements. However, the moment resisting frame with high ductility was not adequate for the medium-rise building. Addition of sufficient amount of shear-walls to the system proved to be efficient way of providing the target performance of structure.

Assessing the ductility of reinforced concrete sections and members has been a complex and intractable problem for many years. Given the complexity in estimating ductility, members are often designed specifically for strength whilst ductility is provided implicitly through the use of ductile steel reinforcing bars and by ensuring that concrete crushing provides the ultimate limit state. As such, the empirical hinge length and neutral axis depth approaches have been sufficient to estimate ductility and moment redistribution within the bounds of the test regimes from which they were derived. However, being empirical, these methods do not have a sound structural mechanics background and consequently have severe limitations when brittle materials are used and when concrete crushing may not occur. Structural mechanics based approaches to estimating rotational capacities and rotation requirements for given amounts of moment redistribution have shown that FRP plated reinforced concrete (RC) sections can have significant moment redistribution capacities. In this paper, the concept of moment redistribution in beams is explained and it is shown specifically how an existing RC member can be retrofitted with FRP plates for both strength and ductility requirements. Furthermore, it is also shown how ductility through moment redistribution can be used to maximise the increase in strength of a member. The concept of primary and secondary hinges is also introduced and it is shown how the response of the non-hinge region influences the redistribution capacity of the primary hinges, and that for maximum moment redistribution to occur the non-hinge region needs to remain elastic.

본 연구에서는 일반 강재로 제작된 수평보강재가 설치된 플레이트 거더에 대한 3차원 비선형 유한요소해석을 수행하여 휨에 대한 극한 거동과 연성에 대해 고찰하였다. AASHTO LRFD (2002)의 규정에 의하면 수평보강재가 설치된 플레이트 거더는 조밀단면 검토에서 제외되어 비조밀단면으로 간주되는데, 소성모멘트 구현과 휨연성 조건 등을 엄밀히 검토하여 조밀단면으로 설계될 수 있는 가능성에 대하여 살펴보았다. 복부판의 세장비, 수평보강재의 강성, 압축플랜지의 세장비 등을 주요 변수로 설정하여 다양한 조합에 대한 해석을 수행하였다. 복부판에 설치된 보강재의 강성이 보장된 상태에서 복부판 압축 패널의 국부좌굴을 방지하기 위한 세장비의 값을 제한함으로써 수평보강재가 설치된 플레이트거더일지라도 조밀단면의 조건이 충분히 만족될 수 있다는 것이 확인되었다. 해석 결과에 근거하여 수평보강재가 설치된 플레이트거더가 조밀단면으로 설계되기 위한 조건식이 제안되었다.

Social requirements to the civil and building structures have been changed in accordance with the social and economic progress. It is very important to develop the innovative structural materials and tecnology that the social requirements appropriately. Ductility of High Performance Fiber Reinforced cementitious Composites (HPFRCC), which exhibit strain hardening and multiple crackling characteristics under the uniaxial tensile stress are drastically improved. Because ductility in tensile test are very different according to specimen shapes, three types of the direct tensile test are performed. The tensile test are performed using the tensile test specimen, dummbell-shaped specimen, and cylinder specimen. As a result, tensile performance in HPFRCC is very good comparing to cylinder specimen because of direction characteristics of fibers. It is necessary to clarify the examination method of suiting to the usage.

This study was conducted to investigate the seismic behavior assessment of circular reinforcement concrete bridge piers particularly with regard to assessing the displacement ductility curvature ductility response modification factor(R) and plastic hinge region etc, The experimental variables of bridge piers test consisted of transverse steel details amount and spacing different axial load levels etc. The test results indicated that reinforcement concrete bridge piers with confinement steel by the code specification exhibited suffcient ductile behavior and seismic performance. Also it is found that current seismic design code specification of confinement steel requirements may be revised.

다주교각의 횡방향 철근비에 따른 연성도 및 소성힌지 영역을 단주교각과 비교하여 평가하였다. 횡방향 철근비가 높을수록 연성도 증가는 뚜렷하며 다주교각의 경우 교축직각방향 거동시에는 단주보다 더 큰 연성도 증가를 보였다. 또한 횡철근 배근을 위한 소성힌지영역을 산정하였으며 목표연성도를 크게 할수록 횡구속 철근비의 증가와 함께 횡구속 되어야 하는 소성힌지영역 또한 높아져야함을 밝혔다. 다주교각의 방향별 거동에 따른 소성힌지 영역에는 차이가 있으며, 다주교각의 교축직각방향 거동시에는 모멘트 분포의 차이에 의해 보다 낮은 구간에서 소성변형을 보인다.

A double-skinned composite tubular (DSCT) column, which is an internally confined concrete-filled tubular column with a hollow section, has been developed for efficient use of materials that reduce self-weight and enhance seismic performance. It exhibits excellent material behavior with ductility owing to the confinement induced by outer and inner steel tubes. This study conducted axial compression tests considering the effects of steel tube thickness and hollow diameter ratios of DSCT columns on the material behavior of confined concrete under pure axial compression on concrete cores. From the axial compression tests, various combinations of outer and inner tube thicknesses and two different hollow section ratios were considered. Additionally, confined concrete material behavior, axial strength, failure modes, and ductility of DSCT columns were evaluated. Based on this study, it was concluded that the tests show a good correlation with peak strength and shapes of nonlinear stress-strain curves presented in literature; however, the thinner outer and inner steel tubes may reduce the ductility of DSCT columns when using thinner outer and inner tubes and higher confined stress levels. Finally, the minimum thickness requirements of the steel tubes for DSCT columns were discussed in terms of strength and ductility of test specimens.

This study is to develop detailing guidelines based on ductility demand for reinforced concrete bridge columns in areas of low to moderate seismicity. The current seismic design criteria of the Korea Design Specifications for Highway Bridge (KDSHB 2005) adopted the seismic design concept and requirements of the AASHTO specifications. In order to obtain full ductile behavior under seismic loads, i.e. when applied seismic force is larger than design flexural strength of column section, a response modification factor (R=3 or 5) is used. In moderate seismicity regions, however, adopting the full ductility design concept sometimes results in construction problems due to reinforcement congestion. The objective of this paper is to suggest a new simplified seismic design of reinforced concrete bridge columns for moderate seismicity regions.
