The control of the deformative behaviour of pre-stressed concrete roof elements for a satisfactory service performance is a main issue of their structural design. Slender light-weight wing-shaped roof elements, typical of the European heritage, are particularly sensitive to this problem. The paper presents the results of deformation measurements during storage and of both torsional-flexural and purely flexural load tests carried out on a full-scale 40.5 m long innovative wing-shaped roof element. An element-based simplified integral procedure that de-couples the evolution of the deflection profile with the progressive shortening of the beam is adopted to catch the experimental visco-elastic behaviour of the element and the predictions are compared with normative close-form solutions. A linear 3D fem model is developed to investigate the torsional-flexural behaviour of the member. A mechanical non-linear beam model is used to predict the purely flexural behaviour of the roof member in the pre- and post-cracking phases and to validate the loss prediction of the adopted procedure. Both experimental and numerical results highlight that the adopted analysis method is viable and sound for an accurate simulation of the service behaviour of precast roof elements.

FRP 보강근은 철근-콘크리트 부재의 부식 문제를 해결하기 위해 제안되어왔으나, FRP는 높은 인장강도, 낮은 연성 및 선형 탄성 거동으로 인해 하중이 전달될 때 콘크리트와 보강재 사이의 부착 메커니즘이 다르다. 그러므로, FRP-Rebar와 콘크리트 사이의 부착 거동은 주의 깊게 검토해야 한다. 이를 위해 직접 인발 실험이 간단하게 부착 거동을 평가할 수 있으므로 사용됐으나, 직접인발의 실험 결과는 실제 FRP를 보강근으로 사용한 콘크리트 부재의 휨-부착 거동과 다르다. 그러므로 실제 휨-부착 거동을 평가할 방안이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 FRP를 보강근으로 사용한 콘크리트 부재의 휨-부착 거동에 대한 평가방법을 검토하고 비교하였다. 그 결과, 겹침이음이 있는 부재의 실험 방법이 실제 휨-부착 특성을 잘 반영할 수 있으나 다른 실험방법보다 시험체의 단면 및 지간이 커야 하고 시험체의 설계 및 해석이 복잡하다. 한편, 아치가 있는 부재 실험은 모멘트 팔길이의 변화를 무시하는 평형 방정식을 기반으로 한 힌지가 있는 부재 실험과 달리 콘크리트의 영향을 반영할 수 있으나, 휨-부착에 의한 파괴 이전에 전단파괴의 우려가 있다.

In the Ultimate Strength Design, the design strength of a member is determined by multiplying the strength reduction factor to the nominal strength. This concept may be a reasonable approach, however it can not consider failure modes appropriately. Moreover, column design strength diagram show an abrupt change at a low level of axial load, which does not seem to be reasonable. This research compares the design strength determined by the strength resistance factors. As the material resistance factors for flexure and compression, 0.65 and 0.90 are proposed for concrete and steel, respectively. The design strength calculation process by applying material resistance factors addresses failure modes more effectively than by applying member strength reduction factor, and provides more resnable design strength for reinforced concrete flexural and compression members.

It is important to consider an effect of concrete member sizes when estimating the ACI rectangular stress block of a reinforced concrete flexural member. However, the experimental data and analytical analyses are still not available for a proper evaluation. For all types of loading conditions, the trend is that the size of an ACI rectangular stress block tends to change when the member sizes change. In this paper, the size variations of strength coefficients for ACI rectangular stress block and actual stress distribution have been studied. Results of a series of C-shaped specimens subjected to axial compressive load and bending moment were adopted from references 1 and 2. The analysis results show that the effect of specimen sizes on strength coefficients for ACI rectangular stress block and actual stress distribution of concrete member was apparent. Thus, the results suggest that the current strength criteria based design practice should be reviewed.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a mathematical expression for computing crack angles based on reinforcement volumes in the longitudinal and transverse directions, member end-fixity and length-to-width aspect ratio. For this a reinforced concrete beam-column element is assumed to possess a series of potential crack planes represented by a number of differential truss elements. Depending on the boundary condition, a constant angle truss or a variable angle truss is employed to model the cracked structural concrete member. The truss models are then analyzed using the virtual work method of analysis to relate forces and deformations. Rigorous and simplified solution schemes are presented. An equation to estimate the theoretical crack angle is derived by considering the energy minimization on the virtual work done over both the shear and flexural components the energy minimization on the virtual work done over both the shear and flexural components of truss models. The crack angle in this study is defined as the steepest one among fan-shaped angles measured from the longitudinal axis of the member to the diagonal crack. The theoretical crack angle predictions are validated against experimentally observed crack angle reported by previous researchers in the literature. Good agreement between theory and experiment is obtained.

Ductility is important in the design of reinforced concrete structures. In seismic design of reinforced concrete members, it is necessary to allow for relatively large ductility so that the seismic energy is absorbed to avoid shear failure or significant degradation of strength even after yielding of reinforcing steels in the concrete member occurs. Therefore, prediction of the ductility should be as accurate as possible. The principal aim of this paper is to present the basic data for the ductility evaluation of reinforced high-strength concrete beams. Accordingly, 23 flexural tests were conducted on full-scale structural concrete beam specimens having concrete compressive strength of 40, 60, and 70MPa. The test results were then reviewed in terms of flexural capacity and ductility. The effect of concrete compressive strength, web reinforcement ratio, tension steel ratio, and shear span to beam depth ratio on ductility were investigated experimentally.

철근콘크리트 휨부재의 비탄성해석 및 설계를 위해서는 연성능력의 평가가 필요하며, 이를 위해서는 모멘트-곡률 관계가 정의되어야 한다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 모멘트 곡률관계를 가정하여 철근콘크리트 휨부재의 연성능력을 해석적 방법으로 구하고, 실험결과와 비교한 결과, 실험값과 해석값은 거의 일치하였으므로 가정한 모멘트-곡률관계는 적합한 것으로 판명 되었다. 또한, 연성률은 곡률연성, 회전연성, 변위연성을 비교하였으며, 철근콘크리트 휨부재의 연성능력에 주로 영향을 미치는 요소는 인장철근, 압축철근 및 휨보강근으로 보고, 실험값과 해석값을 다양하게 분석한 결과 ($\rho$$_{s}$ ＋ $\rho$')/$\rho$의 항으로 연성능력을 나타냄이 적절한 것으로 나타났다.

This paper presents the differences in growth of time-dependent strain values in reinforced cement concrete (RCC) and pre-stressed concrete (PSC) flexural members through experiment. It was observed that at any particular age, the time-dependent strain values were less in RCC beams than in PSC beams of identical size and grade of concrete. Variables considered in the study were percentage area of reinforcement, span of members for RCC beams and eccentricity of applied pre-stress force for PSC beams. In RCC beams the time-dependent strain values increases with reduction in percentage area of reinforcement and in PSC beams eccentricity directly influences the growth of time-dependent strain. With increase in age, a non-uniform strain develops across the depth of beams which influence the growth of concave curvature in RCC beams and convex curvature in PSC beams. The experimentally obtained strain values were compared with predicted strain values of similar size and grade of plane concrete (PC) beam using ACI 318 Model Code and found more than RCC beams but less than PSC beams.

In this paper we present tile results of an experimental investigation on the physical and mechanical properties of carbon fiber grid, polymer mortar, and carbon fiber grid reinforced plain concrete flexural members. In order to repairing and reinforcing damaged and/or deteriorated existing concrete structural members, new materials have been developed and utilized in the construction industries. But the physical and mechanical behaviors of the material are not well understood. To use the material effectively various aspects of the material must be throughly investigated analytically as well as experimentally. In this investigation we found the physical and mechanical properties of carbon fiber grid and polymer mortar which are directly utilized in the repair and reinforcement design of damaged or deteriorated concrete structures. In addition, we also investigate the strengthening effect of carbon fiber grid on the plain concrete flexural test specimens. It was found that the material can be used to repair and strengthen the concrete structures effectively.

This study presents a new beam-column model comprising material nonlinearity and joint flexibility to predict the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete structures. The nonlinear behavior of connections has an outstanding role on the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete structures. In presented research, the joint flexibility is considered applying a rotational spring at each end of the member. To derive the moment-rotation behavior of beam-column connections, the relative rotations produced by the relative slip of flexural reinforcement in the joint and the flexural cracking of the beam end are taken into consideration. Furthermore, the considered spread plasticity model, unlike the previous models that have been developed based on the linear moment distribution subjected to lateral loads includes both lateral and gravity load effects, simultaneously. To confirm the accuracy of the proposed methodology, a simply-supported test beam and three reinforced concrete frames are considered. Pushover and nonlinear dynamic analysis of three numerical examples are performed. In these examples the nonlinear behavior of connections and the material nonlinearity using the proposed methodology and also linear flexibility model with different number of elements for each member and fiber based distributed plasticity model with different number of integration points are simulated. Comparing the results of the proposed methodology with those of the aforementioned models describes that suggested model that only uses one element for each member can appropriately estimate the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete structures.
