The results of research focusing on the experimental and numerical performance of ferrocement RC beams with openings reinforced with welded steel mesh, expanded steel mesh, fiber glass mesh, and polyethylene mesh independently are presented in this article. Casting and testing of fourteen reinforced concrete beams with dimensions of 200×100×2000 mm under concentric compression loadings were part of the research program. The type of reinforcing materials, the volume fraction of reinforcement, the number of mesh layers, and the number of stirrups are the major parameters that change. The main goal is to understand the impact of using new appealing materials in reinforcing RC beams with openings. Using ANSYS-16.0 Software, nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA) was used to demonstrate the behavior of composite RC beams with openings. A parametric study is also conducted to discuss the variables that can have the greatest impact on the mechanical behavior of the proposed model, such as the number of openings. The obtained experimental and numerical results demonstrated the FE simulations' acceptable accuracy in estimating experimental values. Furthermore, demonstrating that the strength gained of specimens reinforced with fiber glass meshes was reduced by approximately 38% when compared to specimens reinforced with expanded or welded steel meshes is significant. In addition, when compared to welded steel meshes, using expanded steel meshes in reinforcing RC beams with openings results in a 16 percent increase in strength. In general, when ferrocement beams with openings are tested under concentric loadings, they show higher-level ultimate loads and energy-absorbing capacity than traditional RC beams.

The paper presents the experimental investigation of RC beams retrofitted with Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM), featuring enhanced bond capacity. Anchoring systems, including an extension of retrofitting length and the use of chemical anchors, are newly employed to improve the structural performance of the RC beam retrofitted with TRM. For the experimental investigation, a total of seven shear-critical RC beams, with and without stirrups, were designed and constructed. The structural behaviors of specimens retrofitted with the proposed TRM methods were compared to those of non-retrofitted specimens or specimens strengthened with conventional TRM methods. Crack pattern, force-displacement relationship, and absorbed energy were evaluated for each specimen. The experimental results indicate a significant improvement in the shear capacity of the RC beam with the proposed retrofitting method. Therefore, it is concluded that the application of an extended retrofitting length and chemical anchors to the TRM retrofitting method can effectively enhance the bond capacity of TRM, thereby improving the shear performance of RC beams.

The assessment of structural performance of transfer structures under potential seismic actions is presented. Various seismic assessment methodologies are used, with particular emphasis on the accurate modelling of the higher mode effects and the potential development of a soft storey effect in the mega-columns below the transfer plate (TP) level. Those methods include response spectrum analysis (RSA), manual calculation, pushover analysis (POA) and equivalent static load analysis (ESA). The capabilities and limitations of each method are highlighted. The paper aims, firstly, to determine the appropriate seismic assessment methodology for transfer structures using these different approaches, all of which can be undertaken with the resources generally available in a design office. Secondly, the paper highlights and discusses factors influencing the response behaviour of transfer structures, and finally provides a general indication of their seismic vulnerability. The representative Hong Kong building considered in this paper utilises a structural system with coupled shear walls and moment resisting portal-frames, above and below the TP, respectively. By adopting the wind load profile stipulated in the Code of Practice on Wind Effects: Hong Kong-1983, all the structural members are sized and detailed according to the British Standards BS8110 and the current local practices. The seismic displacement demand for the structure, when built on either rock or deep soil sites, was determined in a companion paper. The lateral load-displacement characteristic of the building, determined herein from manual calculation, has indicated that the poor ductility (brittle nature) of the mega-columns, due mainly to the high level of axial pre-compression as found from the analysis, cannot be effectively alleviated solely by increasing the quantity of confinement stirrups. The interstorey drift demands at lower and upper zones caused by seismic actions are found to be substantially higher than those arising from wind loads. The mega-columns supporting the TP and the coupling beams at higher zones are identified to be the most vulnerable components under seismic actions.

The failure of reinforced concrete structures in recent earthquakes caused concern about the performance of beam column joints. Confinement of joint is one of the ways to improve the performance of beam column joints during earthquakes. This paper describes an experimental study of exterior beam-column joints with two non-conventional reinforcement arrangements. One exterior beam-column joint of a six story building in seismic zone III of India was designed for earthquake loading. The transverse reinforcement of the joint assemblages were detailed as per IS 13920:1993 and IS 456:2000 respectively. The proposed nonconventional reinforcement was provided in the form of diagonal reinforcement on the faces of the joint, as a replacement of stirrups in the joint region for joints detailed as per IS 13920 and as additional reinforcement for joints detailed as per IS 456. These newly proposed detailing have the basic advantage of reducing the reinforcement congestion at the joint region. In order to study and compare the performance of joint with different detailing, four types of one-third scale specimens were cast (two numbers in each type). The main objective of the present study is to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed reinforcement detailing. All the specimens were tested under reverse cyclic loading, with appropriate axial load. From the test results, it was found that the beam-column joint having confining reinforcement as per IS: 456 with nonconventional detailing performed well. Test results indicate that the non-conventionally detailed specimens, Type 2 and Type 4 have an improvement in average ductility of 16% and 119% than their conventionally detailed counter parts (Type1 and Type 3). Further, the joint shear capacity of the Type 2 and Type 4 specimens are improved by 8.4% and 15.6% than the corresponding specimens of Type 1 and Type 3 respectively. The present study proposes a closed form expression to compute the yield and ultimate load of the system. This is accomplished using the theory of statics and the failure pattern observed during testing. Good correlation is found between the theoretical and experimental results.

A new kind of partially precast or prefabricated castellated steel reinforced concrete beam, which is abbreviated here as CPSRC beam, was presented and introduced in this paper. This kind of CPSRC beam is composed of a precast outer-part and a cast-in-place inner-part. The precast outer-part is composed of an encased castellated steel shape, reinforcement bars and high performance concrete. The cast-in-place inner-part is made of common strength concrete, and is casted with the floor slabs simultaneously. In order to investigate the shear performance of the CPSRC beam, experiments of six CPSRC T-beam specimens, together with experiments of one cast-in-place SRC control T-beam specimen were conducted. All the specimens were subjected to sagging bending moment (or positive moment). In the tests, the influence of casting different strength of concrete in the cross section on the shear performance of the PPSRC beam was firstly emphasized, and the effect of the shear span-to-depth ratio on that were also especially taken into account too. During the tests, the shear force-deflection curves were recorded, while the strains of concrete, the steel shapes as well as the reinforcement stirrups at the shear zone of the specimens were also measured, and the crack propagation pattern together with the failure pattern was as well observed in detail. Based on the test results, the shear failure mechanism was clearly revealed, and the effect of the concrete strength and shear span-to-depth ratios were investigated. The shear capacity of such kind of CPSRC was furthermore discussed, and the influences of the holes on the steel shape on the shear performance were particularly analyzed.

횡방향 철근이 없는 RC와 PSC 보에서 축방향 인장력은 전단강도를 감소시키고, 축압축력은 전단저항력을 증가시킨다는 것은 잘 알려진 사실이다. 그러나 축력이 전단에 얼마만큼 영향을 미치고, 전단 저항성능에 어떠한 영향을 주는가에 대한 이해가 부족한 현실이다. 횡방향 보강철근이 없는 부재가 큰 압축력과 전단력을 받으면 첫 번째 경사균열이 일어나면서 그대로 취성파괴가 발생하기 때문에 상당히 보수적 관점을 유지하고 있다. 이런 배경에서 ACI의 복부전단강도는 경사균열각 ${\theta}$를 $45^{\circ}$로 하는 트러스모델을 사용하여 스터럽의 수직력과 축력효과를 반영하고 있다. 본 연구는 파괴역학을 근간으로 한 비선형 유한요소해석 프로그램 ATENA-2D (Cervenka, 2000)를 사용하여 철근콘크리트 보의 축력작용에 따른 검증을 수행한 것이다.

무량판 슬래브 구조는 시공의 단순함과 낮은 층고, 그리고 다양한 평면구성의 용이함으로 인하여 구조적으로 효과적이나 슬래브-기둥 접합부가 중력하중에 의한 펀칭전단파괴와 횡하중의 불균형모멘트에 의한 편심전단파괴에 취약한 단점이 있다. 이러한 무량판 슬래브의 취약점을 방지하기 위하여 많은 보강공법들이 개발되었으나, 보강공법들은 구조적 성능과 경제성, 그리고 시공성을 모두 만족시키기지는 못하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 래티스를 이용한 무량판 구조의 슬래브-기둥 접합부 보강공법을 제시하였다. 주기하중 실험을 통하여 래티스 보강공법의 구조적 성능을 증명하였으며 같은 구조설계 조건에 대하여 스터럽과 스터드레일, 그리고 래티스를 이용한 공법을 적용해 봄으로써 경제성을 입증하였다.

현재 콘크리트설계기준에서는 전단보강철근의 항복강도를 제한하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 ACI318-08, EC2-02, CSA-04에서 제시하고 있는 전단설계기준을 이용한 계산값과 예제 실험체 데이터 값의 비교 분석을 통하여 각 기준의 전단보강철근 항복강도 제한의 상향조정에 대하여 판단해 보았다. 실험값과 계산값의 비교는 전단보강철근의 항복 강도를 제한하지 않았을 경우와 항복강도를 제한하였을 경우, 항복강도 및 철근비를 제한하였을 경우 세 가지로 나누어 분석하였다. 분석 결과는 전단보강철근의 항복강도를 제한하지 않았을 경우가 가장 실험값을 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 항복강도를 기준으로 비교했을 때, 기준에서 제한하고 있는 항복강도 이상의 고강도에서도 실험값에 가까운 값을 예측함을 확인하였다. 따라서 기존의 전단설계수식에 고강도 전단보강철근의 강도를 적용하더라도 수식이 성립한다고 볼 수 있으며 기준상에서 제한하고 있는 항복강도를 상향조정하여도 적용상의 불리함이 없을 것으로 판단된다.
