The seismic performance and failure modes of the dual system of moment resisting frames and thin steel plate shear walls (TSPSWs) without and with one or two outrigger trusses are studied in this paper. These structural systems were utilized to resist vertical and lateral loads of 40-storey buildings. Detailed Finite element models associated with nonlinear time history analyses were used to examine seismic capacity and plastic mechanism of the buildings. The analyses were performed under increased levels of earthquake intensities. The models with one and two outriggers showed good performance during the maximum considered earthquake (MCE), while the stress of TSPSWs in the model without outrigger reached its ultimate value under this earthquake. The best seismic capacity was in favour of the model with two outriggers, where it is found that increasing the number of outriggers not only gives more reduction in lateral displacement but also reduces stress concentration on thin steel plate shear walls at outrigger floors, which caused the early failure of TSPSWs in model with one outrigger.

This study presents a comprehensive experimental investigation on mostly encountered types of Reinforced Concrete Haunched Beams (RCHBs) where three modes of RCHBs investigated; the diversity of studied beams makes it a pioneer in this topic. The experimental study consists of twenty RCHBs and four prismatic beams. Effects of important parameters including beam type, the inclination angle, flexure and compressive reinforcement, shear reinforcement on mechanical behavior and failure mode of each mode of RCHBs were examined in detail. Furthermore crack propagation at certain load levels were inspected and visualized for each RCHB mode. The results confirm that RCHBs have different behavior in shear as compared to the prismatic beams. At the same time, different mechanical behavior was observed between the modes of RCHBs. Therefore, RCHBs were classified into three modes according to the inclination shape and mode of failure (Modes A, B and C). However, it was observed that there is no significant difference between RCHBs and prismatic beams regarding flexural behavior. Moreover, a new and unified formula was proposed to predict the critical effective depth of all modes of RCHBs that is very useful to predict the critical section for failure.

The study covers the behavior of reinforced concrete deep beams loaded under 4-point bending, failed by shear and repaired using bonding glass fiber reinforced plastics fabrics (GFRP) patches. Two rehabilitation methods have been used to highlight the influence of the composite on the ultimate strength of the beams and their failure modes. In the first series of trials the work has been focused on the reinforcement/rehabilitation of the beam by following the continuous configuration of the FRP fabric. The patch with a U-shape did not provide satisfactory results because this reinforcement strategy does not allow to increase the ultimate strength or to avoid the abrupt shear failure mode. A second methodology of rehabilitation/reinforcement has been developed in the form of SCR (Strips of Critical Region), in which the composite materials reinforcements are positioned to band the inclined cracks (shear) caused by the shear force. The results obtained by using this method lead a superior out come in terms of ultimate strength and change of the failure mode from abrupt shearing to ductile bending.

In this paper, cyclic loading tests on composite frame inner joints of steel-reinforced recycled concrete (SRRC) column-steel beam were conducted. The main objective of the test was to obtain the shear behavior and analyze the shear strength of the joints. The main design parameters in the test were recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) replacement percentage and axial compression ratio. The failure process, failure modes, hysteresis curves and strain characteristics of the joints were obtained, and the influences of design parameters on the shear strength of the joints have been also analysed in detail. Results show that the failure modes of the joints area are typical shear failure. The shear bearing capacity of the joints maximally decreased by 10.07% with the increase in the RCA replacement percentage, whereas the shear bearing capacity of the joints maximally increased by 16.6% with the increase in the axial compression ratio. A specific strain analysis suggests that the shear bearing capacity of the joints was mainly provided by the three shear elements of the recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) diagonal compression strut, steel webs and stirrups of the joint area. According to the shear mechanism and test results, the calculation formulas of the shear bearing capacity of the three main shear elements were deduced separately. Thus, the calculation model of the shear bearing capacity of the composite joints considering the adverse effects of the RCA replacement percentage was established through a superposition method. The calculated values of shear strength based on the calculation model were in good agreement with the test values. It indicates that the calculation method in this study can reasonably predict the shear bearing capacity of the composite frame inner joints of SRRC column-steel beam.

The objective of the present work is to estimate the strength and failure characteristics of symmetric thin square laminates under negative shear load. Two progressive failure analyses, one using the Hashin criterion and the other using a Tensor polynomial criterion, are used in conjunction with the finite element method. First-order shear-deformation theory along with geometric nonlinearity in the von Karman sense has been incorporated in the finite element modeling. Failure loads, associated maximum transverse displacements, locations and modes of failure including the onset of delamination are discussed in detail; these are found to be quite different from those for the positive sheer load reported in Part I of this study (Singh et al. 1998).

The capability of a multi-directional fixed smeared crack constitutive model to simulate the flexural/punching failure modes of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) laminar structures is discussed. The constitutive model is implemented in a computer program based on the finite element method, where the FRC laminar structures were simulated according to the Reissner-Mindlin shell theory. The shell is discretized into layers for the simulation of the membrane, bending and out-of-plane shear nonlinear behavior. A stress-strain softening diagram is proposed to reproduce, after crack initiation, the evolution of the normal crack component. The in-plane shear crack component is obtained using the concept of shear retention factor, defined by a crack-strain dependent law. To capture the punching failure mode, a softening diagram is proposed to simulate the decrease of the out-of-plane shear stress components with the increase of the corresponding shear strain components, after crack initiation. With this relatively simple approach, accurate predictions of the behavior of FRC structures failing in bending and in shear can be obtained. To assess the predictive performance of the model, a punching experimental test of a module of a façade panel fabricated with steel fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete is numerically simulated. The influence of some parameters defining the softening diagrams is discussed.

In recent years, the use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites to repair or strengthen existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures is increasing In order to evaluate the shear strengths of RC structures strengthened by FRP composites, it is needed to understand the shear failure modes of these structures. This paper presents a rational equation to distinguish the shear fail modes of RC structures strengthened by FRP composites using the compatibility aided truss models.

본 연구에서는 터널 붕괴붕락의 유형 중 국부 암괴하중에 의한 숏크리트 라이닝의 파괴특성을 유한요소 해석을 통해 고찰하였다. 우선, 기존 터널 라이닝 파괴특성을 보다 체계적으로 파악하기 위하여 암반과 숏크리트체 강성비와 부착강도의 특성에 변화를 주어 총 9가지의 조건을 설정하였다. 각 조건에 대한 블록낙하실험(falling block test)환경에서 수치해석을 수행하여 파괴양상을 고찰해 보고 기존의 이론적 파괴 메카니즘과 비교/평가하여 보았다. 결과적으로, 기존 문헌에서 언급된 4가지 파괴모드(점착파괴(adhesive failure), 직접전단파괴(direct shear failure), 휨인장파괴(flexural failure) 및 휨전단파괴(punching shear failure))가 모두 구현되긴 하였으나, 점착파괴는 항상 타 파괴유형과 동반되어 나타나며, 별도의 파괴유형으로 분류하는 것은 부적절하다고 판단되었다. 또한 기존 관련 연구에서는 터널공학의 주요개념인 아칭효과에 대해 고려치 않고 단순보 개념하에서 라이닝의 파괴특성을 고찰하였으며, 굴착에 의해 부가되는 라이닝의 초기 축력을 고려치 않고 있다. 이에 대해 터널특성에 부합된 경계조건들을 고려하여 신규 라이닝 파괴모드를 재 고찰하였으며, 곡률이 있는 터널 라이닝조건에서는 크게 두 가지 파괴유형으로 분류할 수 있는 것으로 파악되었다.

쏘일네일링 공법은 흙막이 또는 사면안정을 위해서 가장 많이 사용되는 공법이다. 일반적으로 쏘일네일링 공법의 설계에서는 인발에 의한 파괴와 전단에 의한 파괴를 고려한다. 쏘일네일링의 파괴거동은 인발파괴와 전단파괴와 같이 파괴면을 가지면서 사면이 무너지는 경우도 발생하지만 굴착에 의해서 사면 표면의 수평응력이 감소함에 따라 점점 표면이 쓸려가는 얕은 파괴에 의해서 파괴에 이르는 경우가 실제 현장에서 자주 발생하게 된다. 따라서 쏘일네일링의 파괴거동을 크게 인발파괴, 전단파괴, 그리고 얕은파괴로 나누어 정의하였다. 본 논문에서는 각각의 파괴모드에 대한 제약조건을 이론적으로 산정하였다. 또한 각각의 파괴를 막기 위한 설계 최적화를 실시하였으며, 네일링의 정착길이, 개수, 그리고 얕은파괴를 막기 위한 전면에서의 최소 구속압을 설계변수로 두어 최적화 과정을 진행하였다. 최적화 과정은 먼저 네일링의 정착길이와 인장력을 설계변수로 하여 인발파괴 및 전단파괴에 대하여 최적화를 실시한다. 다음으로 각 굴착단계별 사면의 표면에서 얕은파괴를 막기 위한 최소의 구속압을 산정한 후 최적화를 반복수행하여 각각의 설계 변수를 산정하게 된다. 이와 같은 설계 최적화 프로그램을 통해서 인발파괴와 전단파괴만을 고려하는 기존의 설계 시스템에서 프리스트레스까지 산정할 수 있게 되었다.

The objective of this present work is to estimate the failure loads, associated maximum transverse displacements, locations and the modes of failure, including the onset of delamination, of thin, square symmetric laminates under the action in-plane positive (+ve) shear load. Two progressive failure analyses, one using the Hashin criterion and the other using a Tensor polynomial criterion, are used in conjunction with finite element method. First order shear deformation theory along with geometric non-linearity in the von Karman sense have been employed. Variation of failure loads and failure characteristics with five type of lay-ups and three types of boundary conditions has been investigated in detail. It is observed that the maximum difference between failure loads predieted by various criteria depends strongly on the laminate lay-up and the flexural boundary restraint. Laminates with clamped edges are found to be more susceptible to failure due to transverse shear (ensuing from the out of plane bending) and delamination, while those with simply supported edges undergo total collapse at a load slightly higher than the fiber failure load. The investigation on negative (-ve) in-plane shear load is in progress and will be communicated as part-II of the present work.
