Failure Probabilities

AbstractThe shear failure probabilities of reinforced concrete beam-column joints have been investigated by Monte Carlo method. The theoretical shear strength of joints is based on the softened strut-and-tie model proposed by Hwang and Lee (2002). The random variables included in this study are the strengths of concrete, the ultimate compression strain of concrete, the strengths of reinforcement, the dimensions of cross-section, and the model error of theoretical shear strength of joints. The shear failure probabilities of joints with SD 280 flexural reinforcement in the beams designed using the ACI Code are all higher than 0.04. The joints designed according to the softened strut-and-tie model are safer than those designed according to the ACI Code. The shear failure probabilities of exterior joints are higher than those of interior joints. The shear failure probabilities of joints with SD 280 flexural reinforcement in the beams are higher than those of joints with SD 420 flexural reinforcement.

AbstractThe shear failure probabilities of reinforced concrete beams have been investigated by Monte Carlo technique. The shear strength provided by the concrete is based on the theoretical model developed by Tureyen and Frosch (2003). The random variables included in this study are the strength of concrete, the strength of reinforcing steel, the dimension of cross-section, the model error of theoretical shear strength provided by the concrete, and the loading. This study shows that based on the new material statistical data (2003) in North America, the shear failure probabilities are acceptable for beams designed using the ACI 318-02 Code. Based on the old material statistical data (1979) in North America the shear failure probabilities of beams designed using the ACI Code are relatively high. For the safety of shear design of reinforced concrete beams, the ACI 318-02 Code is better than the ACI 318-99 Code.

Strut And Tie Model

Based on test results of two full-scale reinforced concrete beam-column joints, carrying capacities of core areas of the joints were calculated and modified based on the strut-and-tie model. The results indicate that the capacities calculated with h-D-regions is smaller than those with h/2-D-regions, and the calculated results with h/2-D-regions agree better with the test results.

Degradation of reinforced concrete (RC) element could lead to a reduction of its strength and serviceability. The degradation may be identified in the form of spalling of concrete cover. For the case of RC beam, spalling of concrete cover could occur at the web of the shear span due to corrosion of the web reinfocements. The shear strength of the damaged-RC beam possibly will become less conservative compared to the corresponding flexural strength with a risk of brittle failure. Patch repair could be a choice to recover the size and strength of the damaged-RC beam. This research investigates the shear failure of patched RC beam without web reinforcements with a particular interest to compare the shear failure behaviour of patched RC beam and normal RC beam. The patch repair material used in this research was unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) mortar. The results indicate that the initial diagonal cracks leading to shear failure of patched RC beam occur at a lower level of loading. However, the patched RC beam could carry a greater load before the diagonal crack propagates in length and width causing the beam to fail in shear.

Strut And Tie Model

Based on strut-and-tie model (STM) in deep beams, steel truss reinforced concrete (STRC) deep beam was developed. Experimental investigations of mechanical performances of STRC deep beams were carried out, and results show that STRC deep beam is of high ultimate bearing capacity, large rigidity and good ductility; Strut-and-tie force transference model is formed in STRC deep beams, and loads can be transferred in the shortest and direct way. Then Steel reinforced concrete (SRC) strut-and-tie model (SSTM) for determining the shear strength of STRC deep beams is proposed. The contribution of SRC diagonal strut, longitudinal reinforcements, stirrups and web reinforcements to the shear strength of STRC deep beams are determined with consideration of softened effects of concrete, and for safe consideration, superposition theory is employed for SRC struts. Computer programs are developed to calculate the shear strength of STRC deep beams and verified by experimental results.

Strut And Tie Model

Shear strength prediction of simple deep reinforced concrete beams by method of strut-and-tie model is presented in this paper. The tested specimens were designed according to Appendix A of ACI 318-11 code with variations of shear span-to-effective depth ratios and ratios of horizontal and vertical crack-controlling reinforcement. Test results revealed that at the same shear span-to-effective depth ratio, the various crack-controlling reinforcements significantly influenced on strength reduction coefficients of strut and failure modes. When the shear span-to-effective depth ratios were increased, failure modes changed from splitting diagonal strut to flexural-shear failure. Based on the test results, the proposed model was compared with Appendix A of ACI 318-11code.
