Book excerpt: Low-cycle fatigue and fracture of longitudinal reinforcing steel is a critical potential failure mode in concrete structures subjected to earthquake ground motions. Design to resist fracture depends on the reinforcing steel materials, the design details of the reinforced concrete members, and the cyclic deformation and strain demands imposed by the earthquake. Recently, concerns related to reinforcing bar fatigue and fracture have arisen due to two developments. One is the interest by the engineering and construction industry to utilize high-strength reinforcing steel materials in structures designed for regions with high seismic hazard. Since high-strength reinforcing bars tend to be less ductile and more prone to low-cycle fatigue, as compared to conventional Grade 60 bars, their adequacy for use in structures in high seismic regions needs to be confirmed. The second is related to concerns about long duration ground motions, which can increase the cyclic loading demands on steel reinforcement. Since current design methods do not explicitly consider the influences of ground motion duration, questions have been raised as to whether current seismic design requirements are adequate for structure in regions that may be affected by large magnitude earthquakes or geologic basin effects, which can lead to ground motion duration that are longer than considered in conventional designs. In the prevailing structural design and assessment methods, fatigue and fracture are only implicitly considered by checks of peak deformation measures (e.g., peak strain demand) or other proxy measures (e.g., cumulative plastic demand), which are not sufficient to resolve behavioral effects associated with material cyclic toughness and duration effects under random cyclic loading. This study (1) develops a reliable analytical framework and supporting computational tools for simulating fatigue and fracture in steel reinforcement, considering the steel material properties, reinforcing bar details in concrete structures, and random ground motion loading; (2) applies these methods to evaluate seismic design requirements for high-strength reinforcing bars, specifically Grade 80 and Grade 100 bars; (3) develops an analytical framework and algorithms for using nonlinear dynamic analysis results to systematically evaluate earthquake duration and ground motion spectral shape effects on structures; and (4) applies these methods to incorporate earthquake duration effects in the design of reinforced concrete bridge piers.

Book Synopsis Fracture of High-strength Bars in Concrete Frame Members Under Earthquake Loads by : Drit Sokoli

This book was released on 2018 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fracture of longitudinal bars due to high-strain low-cycle fatigue is a critical failure mode in seismically detailed reinforced concrete frame members because it can lead to rapid strength loss and structural instability. The issue has recently attracted attention due to a national effort aimed at introducing high-strength reinforcing bars (HSRB) with yield strengths of 80 and 100 ksi in concrete construction. The HSRB being produced in the United States possess varying post-yield mechanical properties, such as the tensile-to-yield strength ratio, uniform or fracture elongations, as well as low-cycle fatigue life. The behavior of Special Moment Frame (SMF) members with different types of HSRB subjected to large inelastic demands up to bar fracture is investigated through laboratory testing and analytical examination. Laboratory tests were performed to identify any major issues in the performance of HSRB in concrete members. More specifically, the work aimed to assess the influence of the tensile-to-yield strength (T/Y) ratio, fracture elongation, and shape of stress strain curve of HSRB on the behavior of seismically detailed concrete columns. Four specimens were tested under constant axial load and reverse cyclic lateral loading of increasing amplitudes until fracture of longitudinal bars. Three columns were reinforced with grade 100 bars sourced from different manufacturers and therefore having different post-yield mechanical properties. The fourth column was reinforced with conventional grade 60 ASTM A706 (2016) bars. Concrete columns reinforced with HSRB reached similar lateral drift levels as the specimen reinforced with grade 60 bars before significant loss in lateral strength. A computational framework based on fiber-section elements and mechanics-based behavioral models is proposed to accurately estimate both member-level deformations and strain demands in longitudinal bars and the concrete surrounding them within the plastic hinge regions of frame members. Particularly, the effects of the mechanical properties and steel grade of reinforcing bars on their strain demands are quantified experimentally and estimated by the proposed framework. The strain demands derived through the proposed analytical framework were used to track the damage progress in longitudinal bars that lead to buckling and fracture. A buckling initiation model is proposed that accounts for the mechanical properties of the reinforcing bars, as well as the loading history the bars and the surrounding concrete experience prior to buckling. Material specific bar fatigue relations calibrated through material test results are used to predict the number of half-cycle to bar fracture based on accumulation of strain demands prior and after buckling if it occurs.

Book Synopsis Influence of Defects on Reinforced Concrete Fracture Performance in Improved Wedge Splitting Tests by : Xin Hu
Download or read book Influence of Defects on Reinforced Concrete Fracture Performance in Improved Wedge Splitting Tests written by Xin Hu and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To predict the crack propagation and failure response of reinforced concrete structure, the effect of defects on reinforced concrete fracture characteristics was investigated.ased on the improved wedge splitting test device (an authorized patent No. ZL201410085111.7, China), specimens with various defects were tested. The formulas for the reinforced concrete double-K fracture parameters were derived, and a matrix describing the influence of defects was given. By this matrix, the defects were quantitatively transformed into the sectional loss and the double-K fracture parameters of these specimens were determined. The initial cracking load, unstable load, critical effective crack length, and unstable toughness were found to be improved significantly by the steel bars, but the initial toughness reduced slightly. In addition, with the increasing of sectional loss caused by defects, the initial cracking load, unstable load, and unstable toughness decreased in different proportions. Nevertheless, the defects were irrelevant to the critical effective crack length and the initial toughness. Besides, the critical interval of sectional loss ranged from 14.78 % to 15.48 % in the tests. Once the sectional loss was beyond this range, the steel bar enhancement on unstable toughness could no longer completely offset its attenuation caused by defects.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 701 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portland cement concrete is a relatively brittle material. As a result, mechanical behavior of concrete, conventionally reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, and fiber reinforced concrete is critically influenced by crack propagation. It is, thus, not surprising that attempts are being made to apply the concepts of fracture mechanics to quantify the resistance to cracking in cementious composites. The field of fracture mechanics originated in the 1920's with A. A. Griffith's work on fracture of brittle materials such as glass. Its most significant applications, however, have been for controlling brittle fracture and fatigue failure of metallic structures such as pressure vessels, airplanes, ships and pipe lines. Considerable development has occurred in the last twenty years in modifying Griffith's ideas or in proposing new concepts to account for the ductility typical of metals. As a result of these efforts, standard testing techniques have been available to obtain fracture parameters for metals, and design based on these parameters are included in relevant specifications. Many attempts have been made, in the last two decades or so, to apply the fracture mechanics concepts to cement, mortar, con crete and reinforced concrete. So far, these attempts have not led to a unique set of material parameters which can quantify the resistance of these cementitious composites to fracture. No standard testing methods and a generally accepted theoretical analysis are established for concrete as they are for metals.

Download or read book The Influence of Loading on the Corrosion of Steel in Cracked Ordinary Portland Cement and High Performance Concretes written by Shahzma Jafferali Jaffer and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most studies that have examined chloride-induced corrosion of steel in concrete have focused on sound concrete. However, reinforced concrete is seldom uncracked and very few studies have investigated the influence of cracked concrete on rebar corrosion. Furthermore, the studies that have examined the relationship between cracks and corrosion have focused on unloaded or statically loaded cracks. However, in practice, reinforced concrete structures (e.g. bridges) are often dynamically loaded. Hence, the cracks in such structures open and close which could influence the corrosion of the reinforcing steel. Consequently, the objectives of this project were (i) to examine the effect of different types of loading on the corrosion of reinforcing steel, (ii) the influence of concrete mixture design on the corrosion behaviour and (iii) to provide data that can be used in service-life modelling of cracked reinforced concretes.

Book excerpt: This report describes a recommended methodology for reliably quantifying building system performance and response parameters for use in seismic design. The recommended methodology (referred to herein as the Methodology) provides a rational basis for establishing global seismic performance factors (SPFs), including the response modification coefficient (R factor), the system overstrength factor, and deflection amplification factor (Cd), of new seismic-force-resisting systems proposed for inclusion in model building codes. The purpose of this Methodology is to provide a rational basis for determining building seismic performance factors that, when properly implemented in the seismic design process, will result in equivalent safety against collapse in an earthquake, comparable to the inherent safety against collapse intended by current seismic codes, for buildings with different seismic-force-resisting systems.
