It is well known that the strength and ductility of concrete are highly dependent on the level of confinement provided by the lateral reinforcement. The stiffness and the constitutive behavior of the confining reinforcement (elastic, elastoplastic, etc.) are the important factors affecting the behavior of concrete. In this study, a new simple confined concrete model is developed for describing the axial and lateral deformation characteristics of concrete under triaxial compression. The stress-strain relationship of confined concrete in the axial direction is defined with an elastic region followed by a nonlinear curve. The descending region of the stress-strain curve is defined using a constant failure energy criterion. The elastic limit, ultimate strength, and residual capacity of confined concrete are determined using the Leon-Pramono criterion. The lateral deformation of confined concrete is described using a function that provides a smooth transition from elastic to inelastic behavior and satisfies the zero volumetric strain condition at ultimate strength. The model estimations are compared with the results of triaxial concrete compression tests, and fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) and steel confined concrete tests reported in the literature. A good agreement was observed in terms of ultimate strength, residual strength, and axial and lateral deformation behavior. It was observed that the model can be successfully applied for FRP and steel confined concrete, removing the need to adjust parameters for different lateral reinforcement types. Finally, a parametric study was conducted to investigate the effect of the lateral reinforcement ratio, concrete strength, and compressive failure energy on the behavior of steel and FRP confined concrete.

The effect of shape memory alloys on the ductility of exterior reinforced concrete beam-column joints using the damage plasticity model Halahla, Abdulsamee M.; Abu Tahnat, Yazan B.; Almasri, Amin H.; Voyiadjis, George Z. (Elsevier BV, 2019-12-01) Using shape memory alloys (SMA) bars can significantly enhance the ductility of exterior reinforced concrete joints, where they can replace the conventional steel reinforcement. This research focuses on studying the effect of using SMA on the ductility capacity of exterior reinforced concrete beam-column joints at different column axial load levels. Finite element analysis was carried out and compared with the experimental results from the literature for verification purposes, and both were compared with th...
A detailed analysis for evaluation of the degradation characteristics of simple structural systems Kurtman, Burak; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Department of Civil Engineering (2007) Deterioration in the mechanical properties of concrete, masonry and steel structures are usually observed under repeated cyclic loading in the inelastic response range. Therefore such a behavior becomes critical when these types of structures are subjected to ground motions with specific characteristics. The objective of this study is to address the influence of degrading behavior on simple systems. The Structural Performance Database on the PEER web site, which contains the results of cyclic, lateral-load ...
A Methodology for Optimal Layout Design of Pressure Cells for Concrete Faced Rockfill Dams Arı, Onur; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-08-01) In this study, a methodology for optimal layout design of pressure cells for concrete faced rockfill dams is developed. A representative dimensionless stress distribution model was formed for obtaining the magnitudes and location of different stress zones as a function of dam height. This information enabled development of a procedure for proper location and the number of pressure cells throughout the dam body. A vertical placement algorithm based on error minimization was first developed, which is followed...
An experimental study into bearing of rigid piled rafts under vertical loads Türkmen, Haydar Kürşat; Ergun, Mehmet Ufuk; Department of Civil Engineering (2008) In this study, the load bearing behavior of piled raft foundations is investigated performing laboratory and field tests. Piled raft foundation of a multi storey building was also instrumented and monitored in order to study the load sharing mechanism of piled raft foundations. A small reinforced concrete piled raft of 2.3 m square supported by four mini piles at the corners was loaded and contribution of the raft support up to 41 % of the total load was observed. The soil was stiff fissured Ankara clay wit...
Improving seismic performance of deficient reinforced concrete columns using carbon fiber-reinforced polymers ÖZCAN, OKAN; Binici, Barış; Ozcebe, Guney (Elsevier BV, 2008-06-01) Reinforced concrete columns lacking transverse reinforcing steel do not possess necessary ductility to dissipate seismic energy during a major earthquake. The study reported herein investigates the use of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) wrapping as a method of retrofitting nonductile square reinforced concrete columns with low strength concrete and plain bars. Five specimens representative of transverse steel deficient flexure dominated columns in existing buildings were tested under lateral cyclic d...
