Although the potential for cumulative damage of structures during long duration earthquakes is generally recognized, most design codes do not explicitly takes into account the damage potential of such events. In this paper, a strain-based low-cycle fatigue model commonly used for the prediction of fatigue life in metals is adapted for cumulative damage assessment of structures under seismic conditions. By defining the number of load cycles in terms of the total plastic strain energy dissipated by the structure, the model is presented in a form capable of predicting the plastic strain energy capacity of the structure at the ultimate limit state. The plastic strain energy is expected to decrease rapidly with increased displacement in the small displacement range and to decrease gradually in a near linear manner with increased displacement in the large displacement range. The model is shown to calibrate reasonably well with small-scale aluminum cantilever specimens tested under large-amplitude reversed cyclic loading. At the ultimate limit state, the modified Park and Ang damage model may be considered as a linear approximation to the low-cycle fatigue model in the large displacement range.

Постановка задачи. Исследуется метод усиления железобетонных колонн устройством стальной обоймы с обетонированием, который позволяет восстанавливать эксплуатационные показатели колонн, имеющих значительные дефекты и повреждения. Предпосылкой настоящих исследований явилось предположение о том, что усиление стальной обоймой с обетонированием является эффективным способом повышения несущей способности железобетонных колонн, причем вариант приложения нагрузки - только на бетонное ядро или ко всему сечению - существенно на эффективность усиления не влияет. В связи с этим целью исследования является определение необходимости устройства стального оголовка и включения в работу ветвей стальной обоймы при условии обетонирования стержня колонны по всей высоте. Результаты и выводы. Рациональным признан способ передачи нагрузки только на бетонное ядро усиленных колонн, поскольку устройство оголовка стальной обоймы требует применения сложных конструктивно-технологических решений, но при этом дополнительно увеличивает несущую способность незначительно (согласно проведенным исследованиям менее чем на 10 %). Ввиду отсутствия необходимости устройства конструкций стального оголовка снижаются трудоемкость и сроки производства работ по усилению колонн. Statement of the problem. The method of strengthening reinforced concrete columns with a steel clipping and the concrete surfacing is investigated. This method allows one to repair the columns with significant defects and damage. The prerequisite for this study was the assumption of strengthening with a steel clipping and the concrete surfacing is an effective way to increase the ultimate limit state of reinforced concrete columns, furthermore, the option of applying the load (only to the concrete core or to the entire section) does not significantly affect the strengthening effectiveness. In this regard, the purpose of the investigation was to identify the need to include the steel jacketing in the work, on the condition the column is coated with concrete along with the entire height. Results and conclusions. The load transfer method only to the concrete core of the strengthened columns is recognized as rational since the device of the steel clipping head requires the use of complex structural and technological solutions, but at the same time additionally increases the ultimate limit state insignificantly (according to the studies by less than 10 %). Due to the absence of the need to establish structures of the steel jacketing head, the labor intensiveness and terms of work production on strengthening the columns are reduced.

<p>With the building industry being one of the main sources of carbon dioxide emission worldwide and concrete being the main construction material, new strategies have to be developed to reduce the carbon footprint thereof. The use of high-performance materials in structural concrete, as for example textile-reinforced concrete (TRC), seems to allow for a reduction of the resource consumption and the carbon emissions. The present paper addresses potential applications of TRC examining the global warming potential (GWP) of a rail platform barrier. The resource consumption is depicted in a parametrical study in terms of the necessary component height and reinforcement area considering both the serviceability limit state (SLS) as well as the ultimate limit state (ULS). The results clearly indicate an achievable reduction of the GWP during construction when using textile reinforcement made of high-performance fibres. Furthermore, an analysis of the European market was conducted to prove the availability of this new reinforcement type. </p>
