Plastic Rotation Capacity

The evaluation of the ductility of reinforced concrete beams is very important, since it is essential to avoid a fragile collapse of the structure by ensuring adequate deformation at the ultimate limit state. One of the procedures used to quantify ductility is based on deformations, namely, the plastic rotation capacity. Knowledge of the plastic rotation capacity of certain regions of the structure is important for a plastic analysis or a linear analysis with moment redistribution. An experimental program is described in this article. It is composed of 10 tests designed to study the moment redistribution and ductility of continuous high-strength concrete beams. Particular care was given to analysing how the tensile reinforcement ratio and the transverse reinforcement ratio influence the plastic rotation capacity of the beams. A comparative study was carried out on several codes related to the moment redistribution permitted and the experimental findings. It was found that some of the recommendations are unsafe. It was also found that high-strength concrete beams, when properly designed, have enough deformation capacity to be used in plastic analysis.Key words: structural concrete, plastic rotation, moment redistribution, high-strength concrete.

This article describes an experimental program developed to study the influence of longitudinal prestress on the behaviour of high-strength concrete hollow beams under pure torsion. The pre-cracking, the post-cracking and the ultimate behaviour are analysed. Three tests were carried out on large hollow high-strength concrete beams with similar concrete strength. The variable studied was the level of longitudinal uniform prestress. Some important conclusions on different aspects of the beams’ behaviour are presented. These conclusions, considered important for the design of box bridges, include the influence of the level of prestress in the cracking and ultimate behaviour.

In this study, an experimental investigation was done to study the behaviour of Normal Strength Concrete (NSC) and High Strength Concrete (HSC) Plain beams under torsion with the concrete mix of M40 and M100. No mineral admixtures are used to obtain the required strength of concrete. Eight NSC beams and eight HSC beams whose width was varying with 75 mm, 100 mm, and 150 mm; depth varying as 75 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm and 200 mm; and span of the beams varying 600 mm, 800 mm and 1200 mm were casted and cured to stud the effect of torsion. The principle aim of this study was to understand the torsional behaviour of the NSC and HSC beams for rotation, cracking, size effect and torsional strength. A standard torsional loading method was used for conducting the testing of beams. The results obtained were compared with different theories and code equations. It was observed that the torsional strength of the beam increases with the increase in strength of concrete. HSC beams have higher torsional strength than the NSC beams which has the same amount of reinforcement.
