Hysteretic Shear Model for Reinforced Concrete Members

1989-1
Özcebe, Güney

A hysteretic model is proposed for shear response of reinforced concrete members subjected to shear force and bending moment reversals. The model consists of a primary shear force‐shear displacement curve and unloading and reloading branches under cyclic loading. The primary curve is the envelope curve for the hysteretic relationship, and can be considered the same as the force displacement relationship under monotonic loading up to the onset of strength decay. A primary curve established by any acceptable procedure, with well‐defined cracking and yield points, can be used in constructing the model. The rules proposed for unloading and reloading branches of the model were obtained from a large number of test data. Full‐scale column tests, under inelastic load reversals, were used for this purpose. These rules were developed to predict experimentally observed stiffness degradation and pinching of hysteresis loops. Empirically derived expressions were included to introduce the effects of axial load, deformation level, and the number of deformation cycles. The model was employed to reproduce the results of large scale tests of reinforced concrete elements. The comparisons include columns, beams, and structural walls, tested by different investigators. Individual hysteresis loops of small and large deformation cycles are compared with those produced by the model. The results show a good agreement between the model and the experimental data.

Kadas, Koray; Yakut, Ahmet; Kazaz, Ilker (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2011-03-01)
Ground motion intensity parameters are used to express the relationship between expected structural damage and the seismic forces imposed. The graphical representation of damage probability as a function of ground motion intensity leads to fragility curves that are generally used in loss estimation studies. The most typical parameters used to represent the ground motion intensity are peak ground acceleration, peak ground velocity, spectral acceleration, and spectral displacement. Other parameters obtained f...

Akkar, S; Yazgan, U; Gulkan, P (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2005-07-01)
A simple procedure to estimate the local displacement demands in regular frame-type structures that respond in elastic limits is described. Given the spectral displacement and beam-to-column stiffness ratio. the procedure estimates the maximum ground story and maximum interstory drifts along the height of the structure. A total of 145 near-fault ground motions recorded oil dense-to-firm soil sites are used for the evaluation of the procedure. The approximate drift demands Computed front this procedure and (...
FINITE-ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF PRESTRESSED AND REINFORCED-CONCRETE STRUCTURES
ELMEZAINI, N; CITIPITIOGLU, E (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 1991-10-01)
A practical and powerful technique for the discrete representation of reinforcement in finite element analysis of prestressed and reinforced concrete structures is presented. Isoparametric quadratic and cubic finite elements with movable nodes are developed utilizing a correction technique for mapping distortion. Reinforcing bars and/or prestressing tendons are modeled independently of the concrete mesh. Perfect or no bond as well as any bond-slip model can easily be represented. The procedure is succes...
Effect of Shear Wall Area to Floor Area Ratio on the Seismic Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Buildings
Burak Bakır, Burcu (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013-11-01)
An analytical study is performed to evaluate the effect of shear wall area to floor area ratio on the seismic behavior of midrise RC structures. For this purpose, 24 midrise building models that have five and eight stories and shear wall ratios ranging between 0.51 and 2.17% in both directions are generated. Then, the behavior of these building models under earthquake loading is examined by carrying out nonlinear time history analyses. In the analyses, seven different ground motion records are applied to th...
Evolutionary structural optimization of steel gusset plates
Khalaf, A. A.; Saka, M. P. (Elsevier BV, 2007-01-01)
Evolutionary structural optimization is applied to determine the optimum shape of steel gusset plates subjected to axial forces. A number of different gusset plates used in various types of connections is considered for this purpose. The evolutionary structural optimization approach is employed to find the optimum shapes of a gusset plate used in these connections. The first example considers a gusset plate having two holes which are utilized in the connection of double angle carrying a tensile force. Withi...
