Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was conducted to develop a modeling approach that integrates flexure and shear interaction under cyclic loading conditions to obtain reliable predictions of inelastic responses of reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls. The proposed modeling approach incorporates cyclic RC panel constitutive behavior based on an interpretation of the fixed-strut-angle approach into a two-dimensional fiber-based macroscopic model. Coupling of axial and shear responses under cyclic loading is achieved at the fiber (panel) level, which further allows coupling of flexural and shear responses at the element level. The sensitivity of model results to various modeling parameters (e.g., material constitutive parameters and modeling parameters), wall configuration parameters (e.g., aspect ratio, boundary and web reinforcement ratios), and response parameters (levels of wall axial load and shear) was investigated to demonstrate the ability of the model to predict the behavior or RC walls for a broad range of conditions. The proposed analytical model was validated and calibrated against experimental results obtained from six large-scale, heavily instrumented, cantilever structural wall specimens characterized with different aspect ratios (1.5, 2.0 and 3.0), axial load levels (0.0025 A_g_f'_c, 0.07 A_g_f'_c and 0.10 A_g_f'_c) and wall shear stress levels (between approximately 4 and 8 [square root]"f'_c) psi) tested under combined constant axial load and reversed cyclic lateral loading applied at the top of the wall. Comparisons of experimental and analytical model results for moderately slender RC walls (aspect ratio 1.5 and 2.0) revealed that the model successfully captures experimentally observed interaction between nonlinear shear and flexural deformations under cyclic loading and predicts lateral strength and stiffness that is within 10% of experimentally measured values. In addition, the magnitudes and relative contributions of shear and flexural deformations along the wall height were predicted closely at low and moderate drift levels, whereas at drift levels larger than 2.0%, model results were within 25% of experimentally measured deformation components. As well, localized nonlinear responses such as vertical tensile and compressive strains and wall rotations at the wall base were well predicted by the model. The model results were less accurate for the slender (aspect ratio 3.0) RC wall specimen in terms of relative contributions of shear and flexural deformations and magnitudes of compressive strains. Demonstrated model sensitivity to parameters of the implemented RC panel behavior suggested the need for calibration of these parameters for reliable predictions of nonlinear wall behavior. Given the limited model calibration performed in this study, additional work is needed, particularly for slender RC walls where preliminary results were less accurate. Finally, the implementation of the model into a publicly available computational platform is required to enable more detailed system level studies and future model development.

This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past, facilities considered to be at the end of their useful life were demolished and replaced with new ones that better met the functional requirements of modern society, including new safety standards. Humankind has recently recognised the threats to the environment and to our limited natural resources due to our relentless determination to destroy the old and build anew. With the awareness of these constraints and the emphasis on sustainability, in future the majority of old structures will be retrofitted to extend their service life as long as feasible. In keeping with this new approach, the EU’s Construction Products Regulation 305/2011, which is the basis of the Eurocodes, included the sustainable use of resources as an "Essential Requirement" for construction. So, the forthcoming second generation of EN-Eurocodes will cover not only the design of new structures, but the rehabilitation of existing ones as well. Most of the existing building stock and civil infrastructures are seismically deficient. When the time comes for a decision to prolong their service life with the help of structural and architectural upgrading, seismic retrofitting may be needed. Further, it is often decided to enhance the earthquake resistance of facilities that still meet their functional requirements and fulfil their purpose, if they are not earthquake-safe. In order to decide how badly a structure needs seismic upgrading or to prioritise it in a population of structures, a seismic evaluation is needed, which also serves as a guide for the extent and type of strengthening. Seismic codes do not sufficiently cover the delicate phase of seismic evaluation nor the many potential technical options for seismic upgrading; therefore research is on-going and the state-of-the-art is constantly evolving. All the more so as seismic evaluation and rehabilitation demand considerable expertise, to make best use of the available safety margins in the existing structure, to adapt the engineering capabilities and techniques at hand to the particularities of a project, to minimise disruption of use, etc. Further, as old structures are very diverse in terms of their materials and layout, seismic retrofitting does not lend itself to straightforward codified procedures or cook-book approaches. As such, seismic evaluation and rehabilitation need the best that the current state-of-the-art can offer on all aspects of earthquake engineering. This volume serves this need, as it gathers the most recent research of top seismic experts from around the world on seismic evaluation, retrofitting and closely related subjects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The finite element method is a very powerful computational technique for computer solution of complex problems. Its formulation can include both geometrical and material nonlinearities at the element level. Unfortunately, the validity of the nonlinear finite element analysis is often limited by the inadequate understanding and modelling of material behavior. In many cases the degree of sophistication of the global structural analysis techniques is far superior to that of the material models being used. This situation is especially true with reinforced concrete structures. As a composite material, reinforced concrete exhibits a highly nonlinear behavior, especially after cracking. Besides material nonlinearities of the constituent materials of steel and concrete, which dominate the pre-cracking response, aggregate interlock, dowel action and bond slip come into the picture of the post-cracking response. In the present study, a constitutive model for reinforced concrete under cyclic loading is formulated. Concrete is modelled as an incrementally orthotropic material while the stress-strain relationship for steel includes yielding, strain hardening and a Bauschinger effect. The adopted multi-crack model, with which a crack law is associated, takes into account the behavior of each crack interface. Based on relevant experimental observations, one particular constitutive law for cracks is developed. To verify the proposed constitutive model, a number of experimental specimens under either monotonic or cyclic loading are analyzed with the analytical results compared with the corresponding test data.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 28 (thesis year 1 983) a total of 10,661 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 197 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 28 reports theses submitted in-1983, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
