The moment-curvature relationship of reinforced concrete beams made of normal- and high-strength concrete experiencing complex load history is studied using a numerical method that employs the actual stress-strain curves of the constitutive materials and takes into account the stress-path dependence of the concrete and steel reinforcement. The load history considered includes loading, unloading and reloading. From the results obtained, it is found that the complete moment-curvature relationship, which is also path-dependent, is similar to the material stress-strain relationship with stress-path dependence. However, the unloading part of the moment-curvature relationship of the beam section is elastic but not perfectly linear, although the unloading of both concrete and steel is assumed to be linearly elastic. It is also observed that when unloading happens, the variation of neutral axis depth has different trends for under- and over-reinforced sections. Moreover, even when the section is fully unloaded, there are still residual curvature and stress in the section in some circumstances. Various issues related to the post-peak behavior of reinforced concrete beams are also discussed.

Reinforced concrete structures are vulnerable to high temperature conditions such as those during a fire. At elevated temperatures, the mechanical properties of concrete and reinforcing steel as well as the bond between steel rebar and concrete may significantly deteriorate. The changes in the bonding behavior may influence the flexibility or the moment capacity of the reinforced concrete structures. The bond strength degradation is required for structural design of fire safety and structural repair after fire. However, the investigation of bonding between rebar and concrete at elevated temperatures is quite difficult in practice. In this study, bond constitutive relationships are developed for normal and high-strength concrete (NSC and HSC) subjected to fire, with the intention of providing efficient modeling and to specify the fire-performance criteria for concrete structures exposed to fire. They are developed for the following purposes at high temperatures: normal and high compressive strength with different type of aggregates, bond strength with different types of embedment length and cooling regimes, bond strength versus to compressive strength with different types of embedment length, and bond stress-slip curve. The proposed relationships at elevated temperature are compared with experimental results.

The present study experimentally and analytically investigated the push-out behaviour of H-shaped steel section embedded in ultrahigh-performance fibre-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). The effect of significant parameters such as the concrete types, fibre content, embedded steel length, transverse reinforcement ratio and concrete cover on the bond stress, development of bond stress along the embedded length and failure mechanism has been reported. The test results show that the bond slip behaviour of steel-UHPFRC is different from the bond slip behaviour of steel-normal concrete and steel-high strength concrete. The bond-slip curves of steel-normal concrete and steel-high strength concrete exhibit brittle behaviour, and the bond strength decreases rapidly after reaching the peak load, with a residual bond strength of approximately one-half of the peak bond strength. The bond-slip curves of steel-UHPFRC show an obvious ductility, which exhibits a unique displacement pseudoplastic effect. The residual bond strength can still reach from 80% to 90% of the peak bond strength. Compared to steel-normal concrete, the transverse confinement of stirrups has a limited effect on the bond strength in the steel-UHPFRC substrate, but a higher stirrup ratio can improve cracking resistance. The experimental campaign quantifies the local bond stress development and finds that the strain distribution in steel follows an exponential rule along the steel embedded length. Based on the theory of mean bond and local bond stress, the present study proposes empirical approaches to predict the ultimate and residual bond resistance with satisfactory precision. The research findings serve to explain the interface bond mechanism between UHPFRC and steel, which is significant for the design of steel-UHPFRC composite structures and verify the feasibility of eliminating longitudinal rebars and stirrups by using UHPFRC in composite columns.

The fire damage of building wouid effect on the safety of structure. When the reinforced concrete structure is heated by high temperature due to the fire, the structural resisting-force will be decreased. In a way, it is a requirement to use high strength concrete for high rise building. Particularly, fire resistance properties of high-strength concrete is more important than normal strength concretes. The fire outbreak of a high strength concrete by sudden temperature rise is a main problem, and causes crack by thermal stress, loading to the deterioration of the durability. In this study, normal and high strength mortar were exposed to a high temperature environment. And than fundamental data for the character change of concrete heated highly were presented by measuring compressive strength of concrete with polypropylene and vinylon fiber, before and after heating. As the results, it is proven that high strength mortar with polypropylene and vinylon fiber for prevents deterioration of durability by fiber.

This paper investigates the effects of aspect ratio and volume fraction of hooked-end normal-strength steel fibers on the compressive and flexural properties of high-strength concrete with specified compressive strength of 60 MPa. Three types of hooked-end steel fibers with aspect ratios of 64, 67 and 80 were considered and three volume fractions of 0.25%, 0.50% and 0.75% for each steel fiber were respectively added into each high-strength concrete mixture. The test results indicated that the addition of normal-strength steel fibers is effective to improve compressive and flexural properties of high-strength concrete but fiber aspect ratio had little effect on the modulus of elasticity and compressive strength. As steel fiber content and aspect ratio increased, flexural beahvior of notched high-strength concrete beams was effectively improved.

As a rule, in case of CFT for high-rise building, high strength concrete is required since it should have high fluidity, segregation resistance and large proportion of cement per unit considering the filling beneath the diaphragm. However, regarding the low-rise building under 20 stories, it is somewhat difficult to use high strength concrete. This is a fundamental study to develop a concrete with normal strength and high fluidity for CFT of low-rise building, whose Purposes are in speculating several kinds of changes in concrete's characteristics through various experiments and offering basic documents for practicalization in site and production through mock-up test.

This paper presents a bond characteristics of high strength steel reinforced concrete members. High strength steel is what yield strength is higher than that of normal strength steel. So, the amount of flexural steel needed in R.C. members can be decreased. In result, it is expected that the workability and structure quality can improve and man power can minimize. For this purpose, specimens were made and tested with experimental parameters, such as concrete strength, steel diameter and yield strength. The result showed that under same tensile force of steel, in case of substituting normal strength steel with high strength steel, maximum bond stress increased and development length didn't almost change. In addition, the governing equation of bond and bond stress verse slip relationship were derived and compared with test values such as maximum bond stress, slip and bond stiffness.

철근콘크리트보(reinforced concrete beam)는 콘크리트의 압축강도에 비해 낮은 인장강도로 인해 사용하중 단계에서 균열이 발생하게 된다. 발생된 균열에 의해 감소된 콘크리트의 휨강성은 전체적인 구조물의 강도와 강성을 감소시킨다. 인장강도 및 휨강도를 증가시킨 섬유보강 콘크리트(fiber reinforced concrete)를 인장영역에 이용함으로서 구조물의 강도와 강성을 증가시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 균열 및 처짐이 감소되는 효과가 있으므로 구조물의 전체적인 안전성과 사용성을 확보할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 보통강도 콘크리트(normal strength concrete)와 고인장강도 콘크리트(high tensile strength concrete)의 합성으로 이루어진 이중 콘크리트보(dual concrete beam)의 힘의 평형조건과 변형률 적합조건을 이용하여 탄성해석과 극한해석 모델을 제안한다. 세 가지 종류의 철근비에 대해 각각 하나의 철근콘크리트보와 두 개의 이중 콘크리트보를 시험하여 이중 콘크리트보의 구조적 강성을 검토하였다. 이중 콘크리트보는 철근콘크리트보에 비해 약 30%이상의 극한하중의 증가를 나타내었고, 휨강성의 증가와 더불어 처짐이 감소되었다.

Cracks in concrete can submit shear forces by virtue of the roughness of their interfaces. With regard to this roughness, the crack faces play an important role. By transmitting normal and shear stress across their faces, shear cracks contribute to shear resistance. This process is called shear transfer or more generally, shear friction. Both experimental and analytical program to investigate shear transfer mechanism in normal and high strength concrete were included in this study. The parameters investigated in push-off test included the concrete strength, the presence and amounts of steel stirrups, and aggregate size. Solution procedure based on the truss model was developed to analyze the shear transfer behavior. In general, it can be seen that the analytical results agree well with results of shear transfer test.
