The high strength materials have been more widely used in reinforced concrete structures because of the benefits of the mechanical and durable properties. Generally, it is known that the ductility decreases with an increase in the strength of the materials. In the design of a reinforced concrete beam, both the flexural strength and ductility need to be considered. Especially, when a reinforced concrete structure may be subjected an earthquake, the members need to have a sufficient ductility. So, each design code has specified to provide a consistent level of minimum flexural ductility in seismic design of concrete structures. Therefore, it is necessary to assess accurately the ductility of the beam sections with high strength materials in order to ensure the ductility requirement in design. In this study, the effects of concrete strength, yield strength of reinforcement steel and amount of reinforcement including compression reinforcement on the complete moment-curvature behavior and the curvature ductility factor of doubly reinforcement concrete beam sections have been evaluated and a newly prediction formula for curvature ductility factor of doubly RC beam sections has been developed considering the stress of compression reinforcement at ultimate state. Based on the numerical analysis results, the proposed predictions for the curvature ductility factor are verified by comparisons with other prediction formulas. The proposed formula offers fairly accurate and consistent predictions for curvature ductility factor of doubly reinforced concrete beam sections.

콘크리트 및 철근의 강도는 철근콘크리트 부재의 휨거동 및 연성에 많은 영향을 주며, 설계기준에서는 항복강도가 600 MPa인 고강도 철근의 사용이 허용되고 있다. 고강도 콘크리트가 RC부재의 휨거동에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 많은 연구가 진행되었으나, 고강도 철근에 대해서는 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 고강도 콘크리트 및 철근을 사용한 직사각형 단면 RC 보 단면의 모멘트-곡률 관계를 해석적 방법으로 구하여 다양한 철근 배치 조건하에서 콘크리트 및 철근의 강도가 부재의 휨거동 및 곡률연성지수에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 부재의 철근 배치조건에 따라 콘크리트와 철근의 강도가 부재의 휨거동 및 연성지수에 미치는 영향은 다르게 나타났다. 공칭모멘트가 동일한 단면에서는 철근의 항복강도가 400 MPa에서 600 MPa로 증가하면 연성지수는 30% 이상 감소하고, 콘크리트 압축강도가 30 MPa에서 70 MPa로 증가하면 연성지수는 약 3배 증가하였다.

The ductility of circular hollow reinforced concrete columns with one layer of longitudinal and spiral reinforcement placed near the outside face of the section and the steel tube placed on the inside face of the section is investigated. Such hollow sections are confined through the wall thickness since the steel tube is placed. The results of analytical moment-curvature analyses for such hollow sections are compared with those for the circular section with the sane diameter. In this study, moment-curvature analyses are conducted with Mandel's confined concrete stress-strain relationship in which the effect of confinement is to increase the compression strength and ultimate strain of concrete. The moment-curvature analyses confirmed that the ductility is primarily influenced on the ultimate strain. The variables influenced on the ultimate strain is the ratio and yield strength of confining reinforcement and the compression strength for confined concrete. From this ultimate strain - the transverse reinforcement ratio relationship, the transverse reinforcement ratio for circular hollow reinforced columns with confinement is proposed. The proposed transverse reinforcement ratio is confirmed by experimental results.

Objectives of this study included design of head and evaluation of the pullout performance of the headed reinforcement that can be used to replace standard hooks in the building exterior beam-column joints. Results of 36 pullout tests are presented. Test variables included reinforcing bar diameters (16-25mm), embedment depth (6-7db), transverse reinforcement, and single-vs.-group pullout behavior. The square head designed had gross area of 4Ab and thickness of db. The headed reinforcement made of Dl6 bars developed pullout strengths close to the bar yield strength, but larger bars developed strengths smaller than the yield strengths. The pullout resistance increased with decreasing spacing of the transverse reinforcement. Use of column ties with 6.0-db spacing improved the pullout performance of the headed bars without causing difficulties in fabricating the specimens. The comparison of the pullout performances between the headed bars and the standard hooks revealed that strengths, stiffnesses, and ductile behaviors are about the same.

The objective of this study is to determine whether or not the yield line theory, an effective method widely used for slabs made of ordinary concrete, can be used also for the reinforced concrete slabs made of high-strength concrete. Flexural behavior of simply supported slabs in three different sizes were investigated under concentrated load at mid-span. Additionally, behavior of high strength reinforced concrete slabs with 50 mm and 150 mm reinforcement spacings also studied. Failure loads, deflections, experimental and theoretical failure mechanisms were evaluated. The difference between the moments based on yield line theory and experimental moments varied between 1% to 3%. Experimental and analysis results revealed that yield line analysis could conveniently be employed in the analysis of high strength reinforced concrete slabs.

Experimental research was carried out to investigate the confinement effect of concrete specimens confined by interlocking spirals subjected to the concentric axial compressive load. Main variables are the compressive strength of concrete with 2 levels(normal and high strength), the spacing of the spiral reinforcement, the yield strength of the spiral reinforcement with 2 levels and 4 different interlocking lengths. For the same volumetric ratio, the use of interlocking spirals is not as effective as the single spirals, provided that the spirals have the same diameter.

A total of 32 pullout tests were performed for the multiple headed bars relatively deeply embedded in reinforced concrete column-like members. The objective was to determine the minimum embedment depth that was necessary to safely design exterior beam-column joints using headed bars. The variables for the experiment were embedment depth of headed bar, center-to-center distance between adjacent heads, and amount of supplementary reinforcement. Regular strength concrete and grade SD420 reinforcing steel were used. The results of the test the indicated that a headed bar embedment depth of $10d_b$ was not sufficient to have relatively closely installed headed bars develop the pullout strength corresponding to the yield strength. All the experimental variables, influenced the pullout strength. The pullout strength increased with increasing embedment depth and head-to-head distance. It also increased with increasing amount of supplementary reinforcement. For a group of closely-spaced headed bars installed in a beam-column joint, it is recommended to use column ties at least 0.6% by volume, 1% or greater amount of column main bars, and an embedment depth of $13d_b$ or greater simultaneously, to guarantee the pullout strength of individual headed bars over 125% of $f_y$ and ductile load-displacement behavior.

이 연구에서는 콘크리트 압축강도에 따른 고강도 나선철근의 횡구속 성능을 평가하고자 하였다. 총 24체의 실린더형 콘크리트 실험체($150{\times}300mm$)를 제작하고 단조 압축하중 실험을 수행하였다. 주요 실험변수는 나선철근의 항복강도와 콘크리트 압축강도로 계획하였다. 나선철근의 항복강도에 따른 횡구속 효과를 효과적으로 평가하기 위하여 나선철근의 외경을 실험체 직경과 동일하게 계획하였다. 실험결과, 나선철근의 횡구속 성능은 나선철근의 항복강도가 증가할수록 그리고 콘크리트 압축강도가 낮아질수록 증가하였다. 또한 기존 해석모델을 이용하여 실험체의 응력-축변형률 관계를 예측한 결과, 해석결과는 나선철근의 항복강도와 콘크리트 압축강도가 증가할수록 정확성이 떨어지는 것으로 확인되었다.

The present paper investigates the curvature ductility of confined reinforced concrete (RC) beams with normal (NSC) and high strength concrete (HSC). For the purpose of predicting the curvature ductility factor, an analytical model was developed based on the equilibrium of internal forces of confined concrete and reinforcement. In this context, the curvatures were calculated at first yielding of tension reinforcement and at ultimate when the confined concrete strain reaches the ultimate value. To best simulate the situation of confined RC beams in flexure, a modified version of an ancient confined concrete model was adopted for this study. In order to show the accuracy of the proposed model, an experimental database was collected from the literature. The statistical comparison between experimental and predicted results showed that the proposed model has a good performance. Then, the data generated from the validated theoretical model were used to train the artificial neural network (ANN) prediction model. The R² values for theoretical and experimental results are equal to 0.98 and 0.95, respectively which proves the high performance of the ANN model. Finally, a parametric study was implemented to analyze the effect of different parameters on the curvature ductility factor using theoretical and ANN models. The results are similar to those extracted from experiments, where the concrete strength, the compression reinforcement ratio, the yield strength, and the volumetric ratio of transverse reinforcement have a positive effect. In contrast, the ratio and the yield strength of tension reinforcement have a negative effect.

철근으로 휨 보강된 일반적인 부재의 경우, 강도설계법으로 부재의 공칭 휨 강도를 계산할 때 모든 휨 인장 철근은 극한상태에서 항복한다고 가정한다. 따라서 인장력은 철근의 도심에 작용하고 인장 철근 단면적과 철근의 항복강도의 곱으로 표현될 수 있다. 그러나 FRP bar는 철근과 달리 항복거동을 보이지 않기 때문에 각 열 FRP bar에 작용하는 응력은 중립축에서 떨어진 거리에 따라 달라질 것이다. 게다가 서로 다른 종류의 FRP bar가 동시에 한 부재에 적용된다면, 각 FRP bar의 변형률에 따라 작용하는 응력 또한 다양하게 될 것이고, 거동 양상 역시 예상과 다르게 나타날 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 일반철근, CFRP bar, GFRP bar를 이용하여 하이브리드 휨 보강된 6개의 고강도 콘크리트 보를 제작하고 구조실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과 하이브리드 보강된 부재는 FRP bar로 단순 보강된 부재의 낮은 강성, 큰 균열폭, 취성 문제를 상당히 보완시켜주는 것으로 나타났다.
