This research is achieved in the general frame‐work of the study of the concrete behaviour. It has for objective the development of a numerical tool able to predict the behaviour of reinforced concrete columns with circular and square cross‐sections under an increasing compressive axial load. The concrete behaviour is assumed as elastic‐plastic model with an associated flow rule in compression region and as elastic with tension stiffening behaviour in the tension region. Two yield surfaces have been taken into account according to the Drucker‐Prager and Rankine failure criterions. However, the reinforcing steel is assumed as an elastic strain hardening model. A finite element method using solid cube elements for concrete, and bar elements for the reinforcement have been used. Correlation study between numerical and experimental results is conducted with the objective to establish the validity of the proposed model and identify the significance of the transverse reinforcement volumetric ratio effect on the response of reinforced concrete members. Good agreement has been observed in comparing these results.

The improvement and the capacity assessment of existing buildings has become the main topic of the last years so that different studies can be found devoted to damaged structures or structures not having a capacity compatible with the safety levels of the actual codes. Reinforced concrete framed structure buildings represent a conspicuous rate of the existing constructions so many efforts are addressed to them. Referring to this type of buildings, a good prediction of strength and deformation capacity requests models able to interpret the constitutive law of concrete confined by internal reinforcement or by eventual external reinforcement applied to increase capacity of cross-sections. Considering that one of the techniques much diffused for the improvement of the capacity of reinforced concrete members is the steel jacketing by the combined system of angles and battens, models able to predict the real contribution of this kind of intervention are desirable. In this connection the paper discusses the different confined concrete models available in the literature, analyzing all the characteristics and comparing the σ-ε constitutive laws for different type of RC cross sections. Also, an experimental campaign aimed to the validation of the above models is presented. Through the paper, the results of tests on columns reinforced with steel jacketing are described and the reliability of some costitutive laws for concrete confined by steel jacketing is examined.

This paper presents an investigation of the performance of concrete beams reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRP) under short-term loading. A total of six specimens with rectangular cross-sections (75 mm in height and 150 mm in width) were tested under a four-point bending test to failure. Each specimen was reinforced with two GFRP bars with diameters of 8 mm. The results of this study demonstrated the behavior of GFRP-reinforced concrete members and a validation of the available calculation methods for the deflection of these members and assumed possibilities of the use of a GFRP reinforcement over the long term. The results of the study presented show a very good agreement of an experimentally measured and theoretically calculated instantaneous deflection when using the approaches in the European and American standards. In calculations of long-term deflections, the results are highly inconsistent and seem to be quite overestimated in some cases. The study shows the necessity of real-time long-term measurements to demonstrate the real deformations to be assumed during design of structures reinforced with GFRP reinforcement.

An experimental study of shear behaviour of reinforced concrete members with solid circular cross sections is presented. The test variables were ratio of longitudinal reinforcement and type of stirrups. The test was carried out on nine beams. Three beams were designed without stirrups, three with closed hoop stirrups, and the other with spiral stirrups. All tested beams were subjected to two-point monotonic loads. The test results showed that all beams without stirrups failed due to the shear force. Beams with hoop or spiral stirrups failed in flexural mode. The flexural capacity of beams with hoops and spiral stirrups was similar but the beams with spiral stirrups showed a slightly higher ductility. Analytical predictions showed that the chosen numerical model predicted the test result with good accuracy.
