Continuous deep girders which transmit the gravity load from the upper wall to the lower columns have frequently long end shear spans between the boundary of the upper wall and the face of the lower column. This paper presents the results of tests and analyses performed on three 1:2.5 scale specimens with long end shear spans, (the ratios of shear-span/total depth: 1.8 < a/h < 2.5): one designed by the conventional approach using the beam theory and two by the strut-and-tie approach. The conclusions are as follows: (1) the yielding strength of the continuous RC deep girders is controlled by the tensile yielding of the bottom longitudinal reinforcements, being much larger than the nominal strength predicted by using the section analysis of the girder section only or using the strut-and-tie model based on elastic-analysis stress distribution. (2) The ultimate strengths are 22% to 26% larger than the yielding strength. This additional strength derives from the strain hardening of yielded reinforcements and the shear resistance due to continuity with the adjacent span. (3) The pattern of shear force flow and failure mode in shear zone varies depending on the amount of vertical shear reinforcement. And (4) it is necessary to take into account the existence of the upper wall in the analysis and design of the deep continuous transfer girders that support the upper wall with a long end shear span.

A closed form solution of a composite mechanics system is performed for the investigation of elastic-plastic behavior in order to predict fiber stresses, fiber/matrix interfacial shear stresses, and matrix yielding behavior in short fiber reinforced metal matrix composites. The model is based on a theoretical development that considers the stress concentration between fiber ends and the propagation of matrix plasticity and is compared with the results of a conventional shear lag model as well as a modified shear lag model. For the region of matrix plasticity, slip mechanisms between the fiber and matrix which normally occur at the interface are taken into account for the derivation. Results of predicted stresses for the small-scale yielding as well as the large-scale yielding in the matrix are compared with other theories. The effects of fiber aspect ratio are also evaluated for the internal elastic-plastic stress field. It is found that the incorporation of strong fibers results in substantial improvements in composite strength relative to the fiber/matrix interfacial shear stresses, but can produce earlier matrix yielding because of intensified stress concentration effects. It is also found that the present model can be applied to investigate the stress transfer mechanism between the elastic fiber and the elastic-plastic matrix, such as in short fiber reinforced metal matrix composites.

An extensive database has been constructed of reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column connection tests subjected to cyclic lateral loading. All cases within the database experienced joint shear failure, either in conjunction with or without yielding of longitudinal beam reinforcement. Using the experimental database, envelope curves of joint shear stress vs. joint shear strain behavior have been created by connecting key points such as cracking, yielding, and peak loading. Various prediction approaches for RC joint shear behavior are discussed using the constructed experimental database. RC joint shear strength and deformation models are first presented using the database in conjunction with a Bayesian parameter estimation method, and then a complete model applicable to the full range of RC joint shear behavior is suggested. An RC joint shear prediction model following a U.S. standard is next summarized and evaluated. Finally, a particular joint shear prediction model using basic joint shear resistance mechanisms is described and for the first time critically assessed.

휨항복 후 전단 파괴하는 철근콘크리트 보의 전단 성능 저하가 예측되었다. 휨항복 후 철근콘크리트 보에는 소성 힌지 구간이 형성되며 축방향 변형률이 급격히 증가한다. 축방향 변형률이 급격히 증가함에 따라 콘크리트 유효 압축 강도가 감소하며 철근콘크리트 보의 잠재 전단 강도는 감소한다. 제안된 전단 성능 저하 예측법은 이와 같은 휨항복 후 전단 파괴하는 철근콘크리트 보의 전단 파괴 특성을 고려한 트러스 모델에 기본을 두고 있다. 해석에서는 철근콘크리트 보의 실제 부재 축방향 변형률 $\varepsilon$x 값을 RA-STM에 대입하여 고정한 후에 그 부재의 잠재 전단 강도를 구하였다. 주어진 $\varepsilon$x값의 증가에 의하여 보의 잠재 전단 강도가 휨항복 시의 전단력에 도달할 때의 부재 변형 능력을 그 부재의 최대 연성 능력으로 하였다. 예측된 부재 변형 능력은 보통강도 콘크리트를 사용한 시험체의 부재 변형 능력을 최대 35% 과소 평가하였지만, 그 차이는 전단보강근의 양이 증가함에 따라서 감소하였다. 고강도 콘크리트를 사용한 시험체에 대하여 예측된 부재 변형 능력은 실제 부재 변형 능력을 최대 20% 과대 평가하였다. 철근콘크리트 보의 전단 변형 능력의 예측은 콘크리트의 유효 압축 강도νf ck와 밀접한 관계가 있어 보의 전단 변형 능력을 보다 정확히 예측하기 위해서는 사인장 균열과 직각 되는 방향의 변형률 $\varepsilon$$_1$가 큰 경우의 νf ck 에 대한 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

While a great progress has been achieved in predicting the ultimate shear strength in the RC members, it is a fact that a method in order to estimate the ductility of RC members still has to be looked for. This study theoretically predict the ductility of RC beams which fail in shear after flexural yielding by considering the deterioration of concrete strength in plastic hinge region.

Hybrid coupled shear walls in tall buildings are known as efficient structural systems to provide lateral resistance to wind and seismic loads. Multiple hybrid coupled shear walls throughout a tall building should be joined to provide additional coupling action to resist overturning moments caused by the lateral loading. This can be done using a coupling beam which connects two shear walls. In this study, experimental studies on the hybrid coupled shear wall were carried out. The main test variables were the ratios of coupling beam strength to connection strength. Finally, this paper provides background for rational design guidelines that include a design model to behave efficiently hybrid coupled shear walls.

Welded joint often contains soft or softened regions such as the HAZ of TMCP steel welded with high heat input. In this study, the equivalent yield strength of plate structure containing softened region was predicted by FEM analysis, and its incremental behavior was explained with the results of the analysis. The calculated results of yield strength indicated the following for the plate structures. 1) As the softened region starts to yield, shear stress begins to build up along the boundary between base metal and softened region. This results in multi-axial stress condition which gives restraint on the softened region. 2) Restraint effect has a significant influence on the distribution of the shear stress, the nominal stress, and the strain. 3) The yielding behavior of softened region becomes the same as that of base metal when both ratios of length to width and thickness to width of softened region are larger than 30 and 13 respectively.

본 논문에서는 중심가새골조의 내진성능 향상을 위한 전단항복 댐퍼의 개발을 수행하였다. 실용성이 높은 댐퍼의 개발을 위해서 구조적 간결성과 내진성능의 신뢰도에 중점을 둔 상세를 제시하기 위해 노력하였다. 지진 발생 시 에너지 소산 메커니즘에 대한 신뢰도가 높고, 지진 발생 후 항복 부위의 교체가 쉬운 형태로 고안되었다. 댐퍼의 끼움강판 치수를 변경함으로써 전단, 휨-전단, 휨 메커니즘을 조절하여 설계할 수 있다. 비선형 유한요소해석을 통해서 댐퍼의 항복 메커니즘에 따른 구조적 거동을 분석하였고, 전단항복 메커니즘 댐퍼가 휨항복 메커니즘 댐퍼에 비해 강성, 강도, 에너지 소산 측면에서 우수한 성능을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

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.

This paper provides a method to predict the ductile capacity of reinforced concrete beams that fail in shear after flexural yielding. The proposed method takes into account shear strength deterioration in the plastic hinge region of RC beams. The shear contribution of the concrete in the plastic hinge region decreases after flexural yielding of the beam due to a decrease in the effective compressive strength of the concrete. To verify the shear strength and the corresponding ductility of the proposed method, 8 RC beams were tested under reversed cyclic loading.
