This paper proposes a novel iterative procedure for the design of planar reinforced concrete structures in which the reinforcement is designed for stresses calculated in a nonlinear finite element analysis. The procedure is intended as an alternative to strut and tie modeling for the design of complex structures like deep beams with openings. Practical reinforcement arrangements are achieved by grouping the reinforcement into user defined horizontal and vertical bands. Two alternative strategies are proposed for designing the reinforcement which are designated A and B. Design constraints are specified in terms of permissible stresses and strains in the reinforcement and strains in the concrete. A case study of a deep beam with an opening is presented to illustrate the method. Comparisons are made between design strategies A and B of which B is shown to be most efficient. The resulting reinforcement weights are also shown to compare favorably with those previously reported in the literature.

본 논문은 비선형 스트럿-타이 모델에 의한 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 정착부의 거동해석 및 설계에 관한 연구이다. 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 구조물의 정착부는 긴장재의 인장력 도입으로 인해 비교적 작은 단면에 큰 집중하중으로 발생하는 매우 중요한 구조부위이며, 기존의설계가 비교적 다른 구조부위의설계에 비하여 경험적으로 이루어지고 있을 뿐 만 아니라 해석에도 많은 시간과 계산량이 소요되는 단점이 있다. 비선형 스트럿-타이 모델을 대상 정착부의 비선형 재료거동을 따르도록 비선형 해석을 실시하여 설계를 수행하고 구조물의 극한하중을 추정하는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 긴장력이 정착부의 중앙에 도입되는 경우, 편심으로 도입되는 경우, 다중 정착구가 존재하는 경우에 대하여 선형과 비선형 스트럿-타이 모델을 구성하여 정착부의 역학적 거동을 고찰하였고 실험결과와 비교하였다. 비교로부터 비선형 모델을 사용한 경우 선형 모델을 사용한 경우보다 안정성을 유지하면서 경제적인 설계가 가능하고 추정극학강도도 실험결과에 더욱 근접함을 알았다.

Various non-seismic tie details are frequently used for one- and two-story small buildings because the seismic demand on their deformation capacities is not relatively significant. To evaluate the effects of the non-seismic tie details on the seismic performance of reinforced concrete columns, six square columns with a cross section of $400{\times}400mm$ and six rectangular columns with a cross section of $250{\times}640mm$ were tested. The anchorage details at both ends and spacing of tie hoops, along with the cross-sectional shape and the magnitude of axial load, were considered as the primary test parameters. Test results showed that square columns had higher stiffness and lower lateral deformation rather than rectangular columns. Both lap spliced tie and U-shaped tie provided comparable or improved seismic performance to $90^{\circ}$ hook tie in terms of maximum strength, ductility, and energy dissipation. The predicted curves with modeling parameters in ASCE41-13 were conservative for test results of lap spliced tie and U-shaped tie specimens since plastic behavior after flexural yielding could not be considered. For economical design, ASCE41-13 should be revised with various test results of tie details.

In the present study, the seismic performance of structural walls with boundary elements confined by conventional tie hoops and steel fiber concrete (SFC) was investigated. Cyclic lateral loading tests on four wall specimens under constant axial load were performed. The primary test parameters considered were the spacing of boundary element transverse reinforcement and the use of steel fiber concrete. Test results showed that the wall specimen with boundary elements complying with ACI 318-11 21.9.6 failed at a high drift ratio of 4.5% due to concrete crushing and re-bar buckling. For the specimens where SFC was selectively used in the plastic hinge region, the spalling and crushing of concrete were substantially alleviated. However, sliding shear failure occurred at the interface of SFC and plain concrete at a moderate drift ratio of 3.0% as tensile plastic strains of longitudinal bars were accumulated during cyclic loading. The behaviors of wall specimens were examined through nonlinear section analysis adopting the stress-strain relationships of confined concrete and SFC.

Test results of thirteen reinforced concrete corbels with shear span-to-depth ratio greater than unity are reported. The main variables studied were compressive strength of concrete, shear span-to-depth ratio and parameter of vertical stirrups. The test results indicate that the shear strengths of corbels increase with an increase in compressive strength of concrete and parameter of vertical stirrups. The shear strengths of corbels also increase with a decrease in shear span-to-depth ratio. The smaller the shear span-to-depth ratio of corbel, the larger the stiffness and the shear strength of corbel are. The higher the concrete strength of corbel, the higher the stiffness and the shear strength of corbel are. The larger the parameter of vertical stirrups, the larger the stiffness and the shear strength of corbel are. The softened strut-and-tie model for determining the shear strengths of reinforced concrete corbels is modified appropriately in this paper. The shear strengths predicted by the proposed model and the approach of ACI Code are compared with available test results. The comparison shows that the proposed model can predict more accurately the shear strengths of reinforced concrete corbels than the approach of ACI Code.

Seismic performance of structures depends on the force flow mechanism inside the structure. Discontinuity regions, like beam-column joints, are often affected during earthquake event due to the complex and discontinuous load paths. The evaluation of shear strength and identification of failure mode of the joint region are helpful to (i) define the strength hierarchy of the beam-column sub-assemblage, (ii) quantify the influence of different parameters on the behaviour of beam-column joint and, (iii) develop suitable and adequate strengthening scheme for the joints, if required, to obtain the desired strength hierarchy. In view of this, it is very important to estimate the joint shear strength and identify the failure modes of the joint region as it is the most critical part in any beam-column sub-assemblage. One of the most effective models is softened strut and tie model which was developed by incorporating force equilibrium, strain compatibility and constitutive laws of cracked reinforced concrete. In this study, softened strut and tie model, which incorporates force equilibrium equations, compatibility conditions and material constitutive relation of the cracked concrete, are used to simulate the shear strength behaviour and to identify failure mechanisms of the beam-column joints. The observations of the present study will be helpful to arrive at the design strategy of the joints to ensure the desired failure mechanism and strength hierarchy to achieve sustainability of structural systems under seismic loading.

슬래브-기둥 접합부는 많은 구조물의 시공에 사용되고 있다. 그러나 횡하중을 받는 슬래브-기둥 접합부의 파괴거동 및 극한강도를 예측하는 것이 매우 어렵기 때문에 현행 구조물 설계기준은 횡하중을 받는 슬래브-기둥 접합부의 파괴 거동을 명확하게 설명하지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 횡하중을 받는 슬래브-기둥 접합부의 극한해석과 설계를 위하여 응력교란영역을 가지는 3차원 구조의 해석과 설계를 위하여 제안된 3차원 격자 스트럿-타이 모델 방법을 파괴실험이 수행된 43개의 횡하중을 받는 슬래브-기둥 접합부의 극한강도 평가에 적용하고, ACI 318-05 기준과 FIB 1999 기준에 의한 극한강도 평가결과와 비교함으로써 3차원 격자 스트럿-타이 모델 방법의 타당성을 검토하였다.

In this study, effective compressive strength and nodal zone of Strut-and-Tie Model are studied to propose a new design method for RC T-type pier coping for prevention of sudden brittle failure. The coping which transmits loads of bridge to pier should be properly designed to retain ductile behavior. In order to carry out this proper design using STM, tie must yield before concrete fails, and a stress at strut should not exceed a certain effective stress. Therefore, reasonable determination of the effective compressive strength of strut by considering stress states at the nodal zone exactly is very important. Since conventional STM is applied under assumption that all nodes are under hydrostatic stress state, actual non-hydrostatic stress state in nodal zone caused by geometrical characteristics, loading conditions, support conditions of structures can not be considered properly. In order to apply STM for design of RC T-type pier coping, the non-hydrostatic stress state of nodal zone is considered and effective compressive strength is proposed. Then, a new design method of RC T-type pier coping which applies the principle of superposition to obtain optimum ductile behavior is rationally designed.

콘크리트 깊은 보의 전단강도 산정을 위해 현행 미국콘크리트학회(ACI) 및 캐나다표준규격협회(CSA), 유럽콘크리트위원회(CEB-FIP)의 설계기준은 스트럿-타이 모델을 이용할 것을 제안하고 있지만 설계의 품질이 설계자가 구성한 트러스 모델 적합성에 크게 좌우된다는 특징을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 내부 트러스 모델에 따른 현행 ACI, CSA 및 CEB-FIP의 콘크리트 깊은 보 설계기준의 타당성을 홍성걸 등에 의해 제안된 콘크리트 소성학에 근거한 전단강도식의 예측치와 비교함으로써 평가한다. 비교 결과 ACI, CSA 및 CEB-FIP의 스트럿-타이 모델에 의해 설계된 깊은 보의 경우 내부 트러스 모델이 전단강도 예측에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 CEB-FIP의 경우 가장 높은 스트럿 강도 예측치를 보였다.
