A new finite element model for reinforced concrete beam-column joints is proposed. The model considers the effects of bond-slip and shear deformations in the joint panel region. The problems associated with modeling bond-slip of anchored reinforcing bars are discussed. The proposed bond-slip model is examined at the element level by comparing its predictions with other analytical and experimental results. The ability of the model to simulate bond deterioration and eventual pullout of anchored reinforcing bars under severe cyclic excitation is demonstrated. This model is incorporated into the global beam-column joint element. Further comparisons are made between the predictions of the proposed beam-column joint model and other analytical and experimental results under reversed cyclic loading to show the validity of the model to describe the bond-slip behavior of the joints.Key words: bond, bond-slip, finite element, beam-column, reinforced concrete, cyclic.

Air Bag

The bending behavior of reinforced concrete beams under uniform pressure is critical for the research of the blast-resistance performance of structural components under explosive loads. In this study, a bending test of five reinforced concrete beams with the dimensions of 200 mm (width) × 200 mm (depth) × 2500 mm (length) under uniform load produced by a specific cylinder-shaped rubber bag filled with air or water was conducted to investigate their flexural performances. An air bag load was applied to three of the reinforced concrete beams, a water bag load was applied to one reinforced concrete beam, and the remainder beam was subjected to the 4-point bending load. The experimental results highlighted that the air bag and water bag loading methods can be used to effectively apply uniform loads to reinforced concrete beams. Moreover, the stiffness of the air bag was improved by 123% in accordance with the initial pressure increases from 0.15 to 0.45 MPa. In addition, a finite element model of the test loading system was established using ABAQUS/Standard software. Moreover, the critical factors of the air bag loading method were analyzed using the numerical model. The calculated results were found to be in good agreement with the test data. The established finite element model can therefore be used to accurately simulate the action performances of the uniform loading technique using rubber bags filled with air or water.

The post-tensioned (PT) reinforced beams can provide a fast construction advantage through precast and cast-in-situ structural elements. However, due to the excessive increase in load capacity, especially when it comes to girder of bridges, the strengthening using Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) might be a solution. Near-surface mounted (NSM) is one of the methods used in strengthening cases, especially in the case of non-degraded concrete cover. Furthermore, very few researchers visited this area experimentally, which consider cost-effective. In this paper, two finite element models using the Abaqus program validated experimental results for both Post-tension beam and strengthening of the beam using NSM separately as preliminary models for combining both systems. PT reinforced concrete beam subjected to four-point bending loading as well as reinforced concrete beam strengthened with NSM using FRP bars subjected to two-point bending loading examined and validated through a 3D non-linear finite element (FE) model to be compared by the experimental results. This FE model considered the non-linear constitutive properties of concrete, yielding of steel, and the bond between strand, concrete, and FRP bars at NSM. The models were targeting the strengthening of existing Post tension girder beams of existing bridges structures. These modeling results showed a reasonable agreement with the tested beam results in terms of failure modes, the load capacity, load-deflection curve, and cracking behavior.

Composite Joint

The nonlinear behavior of the full scale test of the composite joint between steel reinforced concrete beam and concrete filled steel tubular column under low cyclic reversed loading are simulated by using finite element software ANSYS. A separated model was used, element concrete solid 65, element shell 181 and element link 8 were used to model concrete material, steel members and steel bars respectively. The numerical analysis results are compared with the data of the experimental research. The advantages and shortcoming of the finite element model are given. A better numerical simulation method and a use for reference to the similar case are expected to be afforded.

Normal Strength

Currently, design of reinforced concrete buildings is still dominated with normal strength reinforcing bars, not exceeding 420 MPa yield strength. Meanwhile, the use of higher strength reinforcing bars tend to increase due to some benefits in the construction, such as reducing the total weight of reinforcing bars and alleviating reinforcing bars congestions. In this study, reinforcing bars with yield strength of 520 MPa are utilized in the reinforced concrete beam-column joint. The objective is to study the seismic performance of reinforced concrete beam-column joints. A total of 3 interior beam-column joints, half-scaled specimens with different yield strengths and bar diameters was tested. One of the test specimens which was 16 mm diameter and had normal strength reinforcing bar. The other two specimens use high strength reinforcing bars, and have 16 mm and 19 mm diameter bars. Loading protocol of all the specimens is conformed with ACI 374.2. Dissipation energy and deformability of the joints is then compared. Normalized energy dissipation of the specimens with high strength reinforcing bars was slightly lower than that of the specimens with normal reinforcing bars. However, specimens with high strength reinforcing bars tend to have smaller deformability than that of the specimens with normal reinforcing bars.

Four beam-interior column Units were designed, constructed and tested subjected to simulated earthquake and gravity loading. One Unit followed the requirements of the New Zealand concrete design code NZS 3101:1982 for structures designed for ductility. The other three Units only partly followed the requirements of NZS 3101, in order to obtain information on the behaviour of beam-column joints of limited ductility. Plastic hinging was designed to occur in the beams. The major test variables were the quantity of horizontal and vertical shear reinforcement in the beam-interior column joint cores and the diameter of the beam longitudinal reinforcing bars passing through the joint cores. The test results indicted that the current NZS 3101 detailing requirements for shear and bond in the beam-interior column joint core regions of ductile reinforced concrete frames could be relaxed.

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.

This paper presents an investigation into the flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete beam with opening reinforced with two different materials i.e., steel and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP). Comparison study between the two different materials were carried out and presented in this study through non-linear Finite Element Method (FEM) using the commercial ABAQUS 6.10 software package. The performance of the opening beam reinforced with GFRP is influenced by several key parameters. Simulation analyses were carried out to determine the behavior of beam with opening subjected to monotonic loading. The main parameters considered in this study are size of opening and reinforcement diameter. The results show that GFRP give 23%-29% more ductility than steel reinforcement. The result also shows when the size of opening change from 200mm to 150mm or from 150mm to 100mm the ultimate load capacity increase by 15%. In general, good agreement between the Finite Element (FE) simulation and the available experimental result has been obtained.
