Plastic Rotation Capacity

Designers can use moment redistribution to reduce the design bending moment envelope. Code provisions for moment redistribution are not entirely rational. They neglect the effects of important parameters on permissible moment redistribution and can be very conservative. To establish a realistic limit on permissible moment redistribution, one needs a rational model for predicting the plastic rotation capacity of critical sections (plastic hinges). This paper presents a model for computing the plastic rotation capacity, θp, and permissible moment redistribution, β, in reinforced concrete beams. Important parameters, affecting θp and β, are identified and incorporated in the model. The model is validated against experimental results and shows good agreement. A comparison of the moment redistribution limits is made between the model and CSA A23.3-94. Although the code provides a reasonable estimate of β for unfavourable combinations of parameters, the code can be very conservative when conditions are favourable for moment redistribution. Deeper beams with closely spaced stirrups allow significantly more moment redistribution than that predicted by the code.Key words: moment redistribution, ductility, plastic rotation capacity, bond-slip, shear cracking, reinforced concrete beams, c/d, ultimate concrete strain.

Plastic Rotation

The assessment of the plastic rotation of reinforced concrete beams is an essential aspect to avoid structural brittle collapses. The value actually available can be generally determined as sum of two different components. The first, due to bending, the second for inclined shear cracks. This paper presents a simplified model which provides the flexural plastic rotation of the rectangular beams with a ``closed-form solution''. The approach is substantially dimensionless and includes main influencing factors the cross -section, as mechanical material properties, ductility, geometrical and mechanical reinforcement ratio, confinement effects. In closing, in order to appreciate the reliability of the procedure, a comparison with models proposed by international technical standards is made.

Abstract This article presents the materials of deformability studies of pre-stressed steel-concrete beams reinforced with a package of reinforcement with different ratio of tape and rebar in the pure bending moment zone. The aim of the research was determination of the reinforcement percentage influence, for pre-stressed reinforced concrete beams reinforced with a package of reinforcement on their deformability. Also, the aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of using pre-stressed rebar in combined reinforcement. The practical significance of the experimental research is to study the deformability in pre-stressed bending elements with external tape and rebar reinforcement, taking into account the influence of different ratios of reinforcement areas within the combined reinforcement and development of proposals for such structures` calculation and design. The scientific novelty of the research is in obtaining the deformability characteristics of reinforced concrete beams reinforced with a package of reinforcement (tape and steel bars with periodic profile) with different ratios in the case of static loads` action.

Steel Reinforced Concrete

Issues of calculating steel-reinforced concrete beams are considered taking into account a nonlinear concrete diagram based on the Sargin formula. The nonlinear system of equations for determination of curvature and neutral axis, which is solved numerically, is written in explicit form. Explicit expressions for determination of other calculated quantities needed for design of steel-reinforced concrete beams are derived. Numerical examples are given. The analysis of accounting nonlinearity in comparison with the linear calculation is carried out.
