This paper presents the test results of total 35 direct tensile specimens to investigate the effect of high-strength concrete on the tension stiffening effect in axially loaded reinforced concrete tensile members. Three kinds of concrete strength 25, 60, and 80 MPa were included as a major experimental parameter together with six concrete cover thickness ratios. The results showed that as higher strength concrete was employed, not only more extensive split cracking along the reinforcement was formed, but also the transverse crack space became smaller. Thereby, the effective tensile stiffness of the high-strength concrete specimens at the stabilized cracking stage was much smaller than those of normal-strength concrete specimens. This observation is contrary to the current design provisions, and the significance in reduction of tension stiffening effect by employment of high-strength concrete is much higher than that would be expected. Based on the present results, a modification factor is proposed for accounting the effect of the cover thickness and the concrete strength.

Presence of torsional loadings can significantly affect the flow of internal forces and deformation capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) columns. It increases the possibility of brittle shear failure leading to catastrophic collapse of structural members. This necessitates accurate prediction of the torsional behaviour of RC members for their safe design. However, a review of previously published studies indicates that the torsional behaviour of RC members has not been studied in as much depth as the behaviour under flexure and shear in spite of its frequent occurrence in bridge columns. Very few analytical models are available to predict the response of RC members under torsional loads. Softened truss model (STM) developed in the University of Houston is one of them, which is widely used for this purpose. The present study shows that STM prediction is not sufficiently accurate particularly in the post cracking region when compared to test results. An improved analytical model for RC square columns subjected to torsion with and without axial compression is developed. Since concrete is weak in tension, its contribution to torsional capacity of RC members was neglected in the original STM. The present investigation revealed that, disregard to tensile strength of concrete is the main reason behind the discrepancies in the STM predictions. The existing STM is extended in this paper to include the effect of tension stiffening for better prediction of behaviour of square RC columns under torsion. Three different tension stiffening models comprising a linear, a quadratic and an exponential relationship have been considered in this study. The predictions of these models are validated through comparison with test data on local and global behaviour. It was observed that tension stiffening has significant influence on torsional behaviour of square RC members. The exponential and parabolic tension stiffening models were found to yield the most accurate predictions.

이 논문은 인장증강효과에 대한 피복두께의 영향을 알아보기 위하여 실시한 12개의 축하중을 받는 직접인장 실험체의 실험 결과를 정리 분석한 것이다. 피복두께와 철근 직경의 비를 주 변수로 선정하여 6개의 서로 다른 피복 두께를 갖는 실험체를 제작하여 실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과에 따르면 피복두께가 얇을수록 쪼갬균열의 영향이 크게 나타났으며, 인장증강효과와 균열간격이 감소하였다. 그리고 균열안정화 단계에서의 인장증강효과도 피복두께가 얇아질수록 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 현행 설계기준의 인장증강효과 모델들은 피복두께의 변화에 따른 인장증강 거동의 차이를 반영할 수 없으며, 특히 피복두께가 얇을수록 인장증강효과가 감소하는 현상을 고려하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 이 연구에서 수행한 실험 및 분석 결과를 근거로 하여 인장증강효과에 피복두께의 영향을 반영할 수 있는 인장증강 계수 수정식을 제안하였다.

Cracking is considered to be one of the important factors in determining the durability of reinforced concrete structures. When the bending stress exceeds the modulus of rupture of the concrete, cracking form along the length of members. The total load is transferred across these cracks by the reinforcement, but the concrete between cracks is still capable of carrying stresses due to the bond between steel and concrete. This phenomenon is called the tension stiffening effect. The tension stiffening effect is affected by many variables, such as the bond stress, strength of concrete, interrocking of aggregate, type of steel, and dowel action of steel. Also, this tension stiffening effect is usually quite significant in beams under service loading, and must be taken into account in the calculation of deflection and crack widths. In this study, the experiment was carried out on types of specimen, strength of concrete, and steel ratio and finite element analysis were compared in terms of load-deflection relationship, crack pattern.

This paper describes the finite element (FE) analysis results of a 1/4 scale model of a prestressed concrete containment vessel (PCCV) by considering the tension stiffening effect, which is a result of the bond effect between the concrete and the steel. The tension stiffening model is assumed to be an exponential form based on the relationship between the average stress and the average strain of the concrete. The objective of the present FE analysis is to evaluate the ultimate internal pressure capacity of the PCCV, as well as its failure mechanism, when the PCCV model is subjected to a monotonous internal pressure beyond is design pressure capacity. With the commercial code ABAQUS, the FE analysis used two concrete failure criteria: a 2-dimensional axi-symmetric model with modified Drucker-Prager failure criteria and a 3-dimensional model with a damaged plasticity mod디. The results of our FE analysis on the ultimate pressure capacity and failure modes of PCCV have a good agreement with the experimental data.

철근콘크리트 구조물에 균열이 발생하면 균열과 균열 사이 단면의 콘크리트는 부착에 의해 인장력을 전달하게 되고 이에 따라 철근의 변형은 줄어든다. 이러한 현상을 인장증강효과라 하고, 처짐 및 균열폭과 같은 사용한계상태의 검증에 중요한 역할을 한다. 그러나 균열 사이의 복잡한 변형률 분포 때문에 사용성한계상태의 검증에 어려움이 따르므로 일반적으로 평균 변형률을 사용하여 처짐과 균열폭을 산정하고 있다. EC2에서는 1차식 및 2차식 형태의 인장 증강효과를 사용하여 평균 곡률을 산정하고 이로부터 처짐량을 산정하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 휨부재에 대하여 인장증강효과에 대한 다양한 모델을 적용하여 처짐과 균열폭을 산정하고 EC2와 콘크리트구조설계기준에 의한 결과와 비교하였다. 해석 결과 2차식 형태의 인장증강효과를 일관되게 적용함으로써 실험 결과에 더 부합된 결과를 얻을 수 있었고 해석의 일관성도 도모할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

철근콘크리트 부재의 균열은 필수불가결한 현상이다. 따라서 효과적으로 균열폭을 측정하기 위한 많은 경험식이 제시되었고, 또한 간편한 적용성 때문에 철근 간격과 직경의 제어를 통한 간접균열제어법이 제시되고 널리 사용되고 있다. EC2에서는 최대균열간격과 평균변형률의 곱으로 설계 균열폭을 산정한다. 이 연구에서는 재료 특성에 따른 최대철근간격과 최대철근직경을 산정하였다. 특히 인장증강효과 모델과 최대균열간격에 따른 영향을 분석하였고, 이를 콘크리트구조설계기준에서 제시한 값과 비교하였다. 해석 결과 인장증강효과 모델에 따라 큰 차이가 발생하였고, 2차식 형태의 인장증강효과 모델과 Part II의 최대균열간격을 사용함으로써 과소평가되었다. 따라서 2차식 형태의 인장증강효과 모델을 사용함으로써 합리적인 간접균열제어가 가능하다. 또한 이를 통해 휨부재의 사용성 검증에 일관성을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이와 함께 균열제어를 위한 두 가지 모델을 제안하였다.

An analytical model which can simulate the post-cracking nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) members such as bars and panels subject to uniaxial and biaxial stresses is presented. The proposed model includes the description of biaxial failure criteria and the average stress-strain relation of reinforcing steel. Based on strain distribution functions of steel and concrete after cracking, a criterion to consider the tension-stiffening effect is proposed using the concept of average stresses and strains. The validity of the introduced model is established by comparing the analytical predictions for reinforced concrete uniaxial tension members with results from experimental studies. In advance, correlation studies between analytical results and experimental data are also extended to RC panels subject to biaxial tensile stresses to verify the efficiency of the proposed model and to identify the significance of various effects on the response of biaxially loaded reinforced concrete panels.

This paper presents evaluation results of the tensile behavior of reinforced high strength concrete. The effects of different sizes of reinforcing bar, ranging from D22 to D29, on the formation of cracks was investigated. Two different strength concretes, $270kg/cm^2$ and $550kg/cm^2$, were used in the specimens to investigate the influence if concrete strength on tension stiffening. In the present investigation a method was developed to obtain reliable load-deformation behavior in tension. The experimental results show that (1)high-strength concrete members exhibited larger amounts of tension stiffening than the companion normal-strength concrete members, (2) as the bar diameter increases, the beneficial influence of high-strength concrete on tension stiffening is reduced.
