Lateral deformations of reinforced concrete (RC) frames under extreme seismic excitation are highly affected by the stiffness of their beam-column joints. Numerous models have been proposed to simulate the responses of RC beam-column joint under cyclic loading. Development of RC beam-column joint model based on macro modeling using spring elements becomes more popular because of its considerably simple application for seismic performance evaluation purposes. In this study, a simple modification to previously developed macro-spring element-based model for RC beam-column joint is done and is used to simulate the behavior of seven external and five internal RC joints under cyclic loading in SAP2000. The model consists of several spring elements to define column, beam, joint, and bond-slip responses according to its individual moment-rotation relationships. Overall, the analysis results show that the modified model can simulate well the cyclic behavior of RC beam-column joints when are compared to previously available experimental results

Strengthening Technique

Cyclic loading behaviour of RC beam-column joints strengthened with externally bonded Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) was analysed through Abaqus CAE software. Effect of the number of CFRP layers and the strengthening technique on failure modes, hysteretic curves, skeleton curves, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity were studied. The results show that the strengthening of RC beam-column joints by externally bonded CFRP can effectively improve the cyclic loading behaviour. Strengthening the joint by fiber bands enhances ductility and energy absorption capacity. The increase in the number of CFRP layers leads to enhance energy absorption capacity significantly as compared to ductility.

A seismic performance of full-scale precast reinforced concrete beam-column corner joint with corbel was examined in the laboratory. The precast beam-column joint designed using BS8110:1:1997 was tested under lateral cyclic loading up to +1.5% drift. Displacement ductility of precast beam-column joint with corbel was determined. The visual observation showed that the damage occurred at the corbel of beam-column joint. Major cracks were also observed at the cast-in-place area above the joint area. In this paper, the damage state of the specimen is categorized in accordance to HAZUS®99 and the vulnerability of the specimen was assessed using fragility curve.

Strengthening Technique

The effectiveness of externally applied fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) ropes made of carbon fibers in X-shape formation and in both sides of the joint area of reinforced concrete (RC) beam–column connections is experimentally investigated. Six full-scale exterior RC beam–column joint specimens are tested under reverse cyclic deformation. Three of them have been strengthened using carbon FRP (CFRP) ropes that have been placed diagonally in the joint as additional, near surface-mounted reinforcements against shear. Full hysteretic curves, maximum applied load capacity, damage modes, stiffness and energy dissipation values per each loading step are presented and compared. Test results indicated that joint sub assemblages with X-shaped CFRP ropes exhibited improved hysteretic behavior and ameliorated performance with respect to the reference specimens. The effectiveness and the easy-to-apply character of the presented strengthening technique is also discussed.

Shear Cracking

Deteriorated concrete cover, e.g., spalling or delamination, especially when it occurs at the web of a reinforced concrete (RC) beam within the shear span, can reduce the shear capacity of the beam. Patching of this deteriorated area may be the best option to recover the shear capacity of the beam affected. For this purpose, unsaturated polyester resin mortar (UPR mortar) has been formulated. This research aims to investigate the efficacy of UPR mortar in limiting the shear cracking and so restoring the shear capacity of the deteriorated RC beam. The investigation is carried out by an experimental and numerical study. Two types of beams with a size of 150 × 250 × 1000 mm were prepared. The first type of beams was assigned as a normal beam. The other was a beam with a cut off in the non-stirrup shear span, which was eventually patched with UPR mortar. Two reinforcement ratios were assigned for each type of beams. The results show that UPR mortar is effective to hamper the propagation of diagonal cracks leading to increase the shear failure load by 15–20% compared to the reference (normal) beam. The increase of shear strength with the use of UPR mortar is consistently confirmed at various reinforcement ratios.

AbstractSelf-sensing concrete materials, also known as smart concretes, are emerging as a promising technological development for the construction industry, where novel materials with the capability of providing information about the structural integrity while operating as a structural material are required. Despite progress in the field, there are issues related to the integration of these composites in full-scale structural members that need to be addressed before broad practical implementations. This article reports the manufacturing and multipurpose experimental characterization of a cement-based matrix (CBM) composite with carbon nanotube (CNT) inclusions and its integration inside a representative structural member. Methodologies based on current–voltage (I–V) curves, direct current (DC), and biphasic direct current (BDC) were used to study and characterize the electric resistance of the CNT/CBM composite. Their self-sensing behavior was studied using a compression test, while electric resistance measures were taken. To evaluate the damage detection capability, a CNT/CBM parallelepiped was embedded into a reinforced-concrete beam (RC beam) and tested under three-point bending. Principal finding includes the validation of the material’s piezoresistivity behavior and its suitability to be used as strain sensor. Also, test results showed that manufactured composites exhibit an Ohmic response. The embedded CNT/CBM material exhibited a dominant linear proportionality between electrical resistance values, load magnitude, and strain changes into the RC beam. Finally, a change in the global stiffness (associated with a damage occurrence on the beam) was successfully self-sensed using the manufactured sensor by means of the variation in the electrical resistance. These results demonstrate the potential of CNT/CBM composites to be used in real-world structural health monitoring (SHM) applications for damage detection by identifying changes in stiffness of the monitored structural member.

Reinforced Concrete Frame Structures

The characteristics of the shear deformation inside the beam-column joint core of reinforced concrete frame structures subjected to seismic loading are discussed in this paper. The paper presents the formulation of an analytical model based on experimental observations. The model is intended to predict the expansions of beam-column joint core in the horizontal and vertical directions. The model describes the strain compatibility inside the joint in an average sense. Its predictions are verified utilizing experimental measurements obtained from tests conducted on beam-column connections. The model is found to adequately predict the components of shear deformation in the joint core and satisfactorily estimates the average strains in the joint hoops up to bond failure. The model may be considered as a simple, yet, important step towards analytical understanding of the sophisticated shear mechanism inside the joint and may be implemented in a controlled-deformation design technique of the joint.
