Shear Capacity N-M Interaction Envelope for RC Beam-Column Joints with Transverse Reinforcement: A Concept Derived from Strength Hierarchy

2020-06-01
Tasligedik, Ali Sahin
Strength hierarchy assessment method is a capacity analysis procedure that can be used to identify the sequence of failures likely to occur within reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings under lateral actions such as earthquakes or wind loads. Previous publication on this method mainly focused on the application of this method to (a) the vulnerable RC beam-column joints without any joint shear reinforcement where principal tensile stresses were considered critical,(b) modern RC beam-column joints with joint shear reinforcement where extreme principal compression stresses were considered critical. In this paper, joint shear capacity representation for modern RC beam-column joints (with transverse reinforcements in the joint) is generalized to include both critical components: principal tensile and principal compression stresses. Using strength hierarchy assessment, the investigation showed that it is possible to express the joint shear capacity as anN-Minteraction envelope analogous tothe N-Minteraction of columns. The resulting joint shear capacityN-Minteraction concept is validated using a database of 22 external and 22 internal RC beam-column joint tests with joint shear reinforcement at their joint core which resulted in joint shear failure in their tests. Considering the importance of axial load levels on the expected performance of RC beam-column joints, the proposed concept can be used for the general assessment of the joint shear capacity or for beam-column joint modeling purposes, which can be practically used by the design engineers.

Development of Fragility Curves for Single-Column RC Italian Bridges Using Nonlinear Static Analysis
Perdomo, Camilo; Monteiro, Ricardo; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (Informa UK Limited, 2020-05-07)
The main objective of this study is to assess the accuracy and suitability of Nonlinear Static Procedures (NSPs) in the development of analytical damage fragility curves for seismic risk assessment of large portfolios of Reinforced Concrete (RC) bridges. Seven NSP approaches, from widely used single-mode conventional pushover-based approaches to the more rigorous multi-mode conventional or adaptive pushover-based procedures are implemented. By systematically comparing fragility curve estimations in terms of...
Lateral stiffness of steel plate shear wall systems
Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2009-08-01)
The accuracy of the finite element method and strip method of analysis for calculating the lateral stiffness of steel plate shear wall (SPSW) systems is assessed by making comparisons with experimental findings. Comparisons revealed that while both methods provide acceptable accuracy, they also require the generation of sophisticated computer models. In this paper, two alternative methods are developed. The first one is an approximate hand method based on the deep beam theory. The classical deep beam theory...
Nonlinear shear mass participation factor (r(d)) for cyclic shear stress ratio evaluation
Çetin, Kemal Önder (Elsevier BV, 2004-02-01)
Most methods for assessment of in situ seismic soil liquefaction potential require evaluation of the earthquake-induced cyclic shear stress ratio (CSR). Estimates of the in situ CSR can be developed directly, using dynamic response analyses, but it is common in 'simplified' analysis methods to develop estimates of the in situ CSR using empirical relationships. Unfortunately, the most widely used existing empirical relationships are based on limited response analyses and do not take full advantage of current...
Frame Element for Metallic Shear-Yielding Members under Cyclic Loading
Sarıtaş, Afşin (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2009-09-01)
Modeling the energy dissipation capacity of shear-yielding members is important in the evaluation of the seismic response of earthquake resistant structural systems. This paper presents the model of a frame element for the hysteretic behavior of these members. The model is based on a three-field variational formulation with independent displacement, stress, and strain fields. The displacement field is based on the Timoshenko beam theory. The nonlinear response of the element is derived from the section inte...
Technical Note: Practical Challenges Facing the Selection of Conditional Spectrum-Compatible Accelerograms
Ay, Bekir Özer; Sullivan, Timothy John (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01)
There are various possibilities for the selection and scaling of ground motions for advanced seismic assessment of buildings using nonlinear response-history analyses. As part of an on-going project looking at building-specific loss assessment in Italy, this article highlights a number of challenges currently facing the use of conditional spectra for ground motion selection in practice, essentially related to the limited amount of seismic hazard information that is publicly available. To illustrate the poin...
