This paper emphasizes the discrepancies in conventional methods of analyzing nonprismatic members having T-sections. In practice, the change in the location of the centroidal axis over the length of nonprismatic members is ignored in structural analysis. Commonly used portland Cement Association tables for fixed-end moment and stiffness factors are based on the assumptions of a straight-line centroidal axis and variable rectangular cross section: However, discontinuities in the centroidal. axis produce strong coupling between the end moments and horizontal thrust. Nonprismatic members behave similar to an arch, and this creates an axial force that is neglected in conventional methods. Moreover, beams are considered as T-beams in the,structural models because of the effect of RC slabs. Consequently, nonprismatic T-sections require special consideration in structural analysis. The purpose of this paper is to present the behavior of nonprismatic T-section beams based on a 3D finite-element investigation. Based on the results of parametric studies, a simple, practical 2D beam model with an effective length concept is proposed for the analysis of nonprismatic members having T-sections. In the proposed model, the effective length of the 2D beam element representing the haunch evolves as 75% of its actual length. It-is concluded that the deviation in results from the results of the finite-element analysis is within 15%. Additionally, different modeling schemes in the analysis of frames with nonprismatic members using the proposed 2D beam representation are investigated.

Limitations in structural identification of large constructed structures Catbas, F. N.; Ciloglu, S. K.; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Grimmelsman, K.; Aktan, A. E. (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2007-08-01) The objective of this paper is to discuss the limitations in structural identification of large constructed structures. These limitations arise due to the geometric complexity, uncertain boundary and continuity conditions, loading environment, and the imperfect knowledge and errors in modeling such large constructed facilities. In this paper, the writers present their studies on developing a mixed microscopic-structural element level three-dimensional finite-element (FE) modeling of a long-span bridge struc...
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 Presoaked Expanded Perlite Aggregate on the Dimensional Stability and Mechanical Properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites KESKİN, SÜLEYMAN BAHADIR; Sulaiman, Kamaran; Sahmaran, Mustafa; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013-06-01) This paper reports on an investigation of the use of expanded perlite aggregate as saturated lightweight aggregate (LWA) with respect to the mechanical and dimensional stability properties of engineered cemetitious composites (ECC). Expanded perlite aggregate was soaked in water for 24 h before its use in ECC, and replaced 10, 20, and 30% of the aggregate that was used in ECC production. The mixture proportion of a standard ECC mixture with properties that have been extensively reported in the literature is...
Prediction of Elastic Moduli Development of Cement Mortars Using Early Age Measurements Deniz, Saygin; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2015-01-01) This paper presents an investigation of the time development of dynamic and static elastic moduli of eight mortars made using CEM I cements with contrasting properties. Mixing and the preparation of dynamic testing prism specimens conformed to European standards. A nonstandard specimen and bending test setup was devised for measuring the development of a static Young's modulus. It was determined that dynamic Young's moduli determined using an ultrasonic pulse velocity test are often, but not always, greater...
Assessment of improved nonlinear static procedures in FEMA-440 Akkar, Dede Sinan; Metin, Ash (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2007-09-01) Nonlinear static procedures (NSPs) presented in the FEMA-440 document are evaluated for nondegrading three- to nine-story reinforced concrete moment-resisting frame systems. Evaluations are based on peak single-degree-of-freedom displacement, peak roof, and interstory drifts estimations. A total of 78 soil site records and 24 buildings with fundamental periods varying between 0.3 s-1.3 s are used in 2,832 linear and nonlinear response-history analyses to derive the descriptive statistics. The moment magnitu...
