This paper discusses the load and deflection relationship of reinforced concrete members subjected to axial tension. A new tension stiffening relationship depending on tensile strength of concrete, reinforcement ratio, and the ratio of modulus of elesticity of steel and concrete has been proposed. The results obtained were compared with the numerical test data and the formulas proposed by other authors.

Predicting the behavior of plastic hinges subjected to large inelastic deformations caused by extreme loads such as earthquakes plays an important role in assessing maximum stable deformation capacities of framed concrete structures. This paper presents an analytical procedure for analysing the behaviour of a reinforced concrete section under bending in the post-yield range. The following stages of section behaviour are defined as the uncracked; first cracked; yielding; cover crushing; cover spalling; buckling of bars; and limit stages. The relationship between the moment and curvature in these stages, including the effects of concrete confinement, the spalling of the concrete cover, and the inelastic buckling of the reinforced bars, are considered. The results obtained from analytical calculations have are compared to the results obtained from a computer analysis. The presented method makes it possible to estimate the ductility of reinforced concrete members with various longitudinal and transverse reinforcement.

The accurate prediction of shear strength and flexibility of beam-column joints without transverse reinforcement is essential to assess the seismic performance of nonductile reinforced concrete (RC) buildings characterized by having such unreinforced beam-column joints. In this study, a multilinear backbone curve to represent the moment-rotation relationship of an unreinforced corner beam-column joint is proposed. The modeling parameters of the backbone curve are estimated based on experimental results of four corner joint specimens recently tested by the authors. Furthermore, the proposed backbone curve is modified to be applicable to interior and roof beam-column joints. These backbone curves are validated by accurate reproduction of the force-drift responses of the four corner joint specimens and eight other exterior and interior joint specimens from literature. Using these backbone curves, nonlinear dynamic analyses are performed on three hypothetical building frames. The analytical results demonstrate the importance of joint flexibility for seismic assessment of nonductile RC buildings.

This paper documents a study carried out on the estimation of the bond stress-slip relationship for reinforced concrete members under axial tension loading. An analytical model is proposed that utilizes the conventional bond stress-slip theories as well as the characteristics of deformed bar and concrete cross-sectional area. An equation for the estimation of the bond stress is formulated as the function of nondimensional factors (e.g., bond stress, slip, etc.). The validity, accuracy, and efficiency of the proposed model are established by comparing the analytical results with the experimental data and the JSCE design codes, as well as the analytical models given by Ikki et al. and Shima. The analytical results presented in this paper indicate that the proposed model can effectively estimate the bond stress-slip relationship of reinforced concrete members under axial tension loading.

Predicting the behaviour of plastic hinges subjected to large inelastic deformations caused by extreme loads such as earthquakes plays an important role in assessing maximum stable deformation capacities of framed concrete structures. This paper presents the analytical procedure for analysing the behaviour of a reinforced concrete section under bending with axial force in the post-yield range. The following stages of section behaviour are defined: the uncracked, first cracked, yielding, cover crushing, cover spalling, buckling of bars and limit stages. The relationship between the moment and curvature in these stages, including the effects of concrete confinement, the spalling of the concrete cover, and the inelastic buckling of the reinforcing bars, is considered. The presented method makes it possible to estimate the ductility of reinforced concrete members with various longitudinal and transverse reinforcement.
