The potential shear strength of reinforced concrete beams decreases after flexural yielding due to the decrease of the effective compressive strength of concrete in plastic hinge zone. A truss model considering shear deterioration in the plastic hinge zone was proposed in order to evaluate the ductile capacity of reinforced concrete beams failing in shear after flexural yielding This model can determine the potential shear strength of the beam by using a truss model. The potential shear strength gradually decreases as the increase of the axial strain of member. When the calculated potential shear strength decreases up to the flexural yielding strength, the corresponding rotation angle is defined as the ductile capacity of the beam. The predicted ductile capacity of reinforced concrete beams is shown to be in a good agreement with experimental results.

In this papers, an analytical model which can simulate the post-cracking behavior and tension stiffening effect in a reinforced concrete(RC) tension member is proposed. Unlike the classical approaches using the bond stress-slip relationship or the assumed bond stress distribution, the tension stiffening effect at post-cracking stage is quantified on the basis of polynomial strain distribution functions of steel and concrete, and its contribution is implemented into the reinforcing steel. The introduced model can be effectively used in constructing the stress-strain curve of concrete at post-cracking stage, and the loads carried by concrete and reinforcing steel along the member axis can be directly evaluated on the basis of the introduced model. In advance, the prediction of cracking loads and elongations of reinforced steel using the introduced model shows good agreement with results from the previous analytical studies and experimental data.

The purpose of this study is to find inelastic behavior and ductility capacity of reinforced concrete bridge columns under earthquake. Material nonlinearity is taken into account by comprising tensile, compressive and shear models of cracked concrete and a model of reinforcing steel. The smeared crack approach is incorporated. In boundary plane at which each member with different thickness is connected, due to the abrupt change in their stiffness local discontinuous deformation can be taken into account by introducing interface element. Also an analytical model is developed to express the confining effects of lateral tie which depend on the existence or nonexistence and the amounts of transverse confinement, etc. The proposed numerical method for inelastic behavior and ductility capacity of reinforced concrete bridge columns will be verified by comparison with reliable experimental results.

본 논문은 전단철근을 갖지 않는 비교적 짧은 지간의 철근콘크리트 보에서 전단특성을 규명하고 균열전단강도와 극한전단강도를 예측하기 위한 것으로 총30개의 보를 4 series로 나누어 실험을 수행하였다. 실험의 변수는 콘크리트의 강도, 전단지간-유효높이의 비, 인장철근량등이며, 실험과정을 통해 파괴형상, 처짐, 전단강도등을 측정하였다. 실험결과로부터 콘크리트의 강도가 커지고 철근량이 많아질수록, 그리고 전단지간이 짧아질수록 철근콘크리트 보의 균열 및 극한전단강도가 증가됨을 밝혔다. 또한, 실험성과를 회귀분석하여 균열전단강도와 극한전단강도 추정식을 제안하였다. 제안된 추정식에 의한 계산값과 실험성과를 비교 검토하여 그 상관성을 확인하였다.

In damage investigation of building structures suffering from earthquake, estimation of residual seismic capacity is essential in order to access the safety of the building against aftershocks and to judge the necessity of repair and restoration. It has been proposed that an evaluation method for post-earthquake seismic capacity of reinforced concrete buildings based. on the residual energy dissipation capacity (the residual seismic capacity ratio )in lateral force-displacement curve of structural members. The proposed method was adopted in the Japanese 'Damage Level Classification Standard' revised in 200l. To evaluate the residual seismic capacity of RC column, experimental tests with positive and negative cyclic loading was carried out using RC building column specimen. Parameters used by the experiment are deformability and member proportion. From the test results, it is appropriated that the residual seismic capacity of RC buildings damaged by earthquakes is evaluated using the method in the Guideline.

This study investigates the direct displacement based design (DDBD) approach for different types of reinforced concrete structural systems including single moment-resisting, dual wall-frame and dual steel-braced systems. In this methodology, the displacement profile is calculated and the equivalent single degree of freedom system is then modeled considering the damping characteristics of each member. Having calculated the effective period and secant stiffness of the structure, the base shear is obtained, based on which the design process can be carried out. For each system three frames are designed using DDBD approach. The frames are then analyzed using nonlinear time-history analysis with 7 earthquake accelerograms and the damage index is investigated through lateral drift profile of the models. Results of the analyses and comparison of the nonlinear time-history analysis results indicate efficiency of the DDBD approach for different reinforced concrete structural systems.

In this study, compressive strengths of reinforced concrete compression members rehabilitated with C.F.L. were analyzed from the test. Test parameters are spacing, spliced length, and section area of rehabilitation material. Displacement, failure load were measured during test. The failure mode and ultimate load were analyzed from these measured data. Test result shows that closer spacing of C.F.L. is more effective. strengthening with 1-ply C.F.L. is more effective than that of specimen with 2-ply C.F.L. The compressive capacity of specimen spliced ($\pi$.D)/2 shows almost similar strength to that of non-spliced specimen. The ultimate load carrying capacity of specimen strengthened with C.F.L. is increased to 1.11~1.68 times of that of non-rehabilitation specimen.

The nonlinear analysis was perforned for a 2-bay 2-story moment-resisting reinforced concrete plane frame with seismic detail using KDARC 2D program. The analytical models consist of the material model, the member model, the hysteretic model, and the damage model etc. The conclusion based on the results of analysis is as following. : (1) Story shear-displacement relationship is similar to the experiment result but from the energy point of view, the analysis relationship is similar to the experiment result but from the energy point of view, the analysis result was different from the experiment result. (2) Plastic hinges were found to occur mainly in beams at first story while all the columns had plastic hinges throughout the structure. (3) Failure mode is a little different from experiment result in the yielding mechanism. (4) Damage index isabout 0.25. This means that the degree of damage is moderate and can be repairable.

This study includes the experimental investigation on the fatigue-bond behavior with respect to the various rates of steel corrosion. Major criteria of test variables are the rates of steel corrosion by chloride ion and the ratio of the applied stress to the bond failure stress. According to the test results, the slip versus number of load cycles relation was found to be approximately linear in double logarithmic scale, not only without steel corrosion but also with steel corrosion. This research will be helpful for the realistic durability design and condition assessment of reinforced concrete structures.
