Abstract Most of torsion studies available are relative to pure torsion, arising from the exclusive application of a torsion moment in a concrete beam. This situation, however, is only possible in laboratories. In practice, the vast majority of twisted beams are subjected to the combination of shear forces and torsion, which gives rise to a more complex state of stress to be analyzed. The purpose of this paper is to present the provisions of the ACI 318/2014 Codes, AASHTO and ABNT NBR 6118: 2014 related to shear and torsion, and compare some results with experimental data from Rahal & Collins[3]. It is shown that if the recommended value of 45º is used for θ, the ACI 318/2014 provisions for shear-torsion interaction give similar results compared to ABNT NBR6118: 2014, but these results are very conservative. If the lower limit of 30º is used, the results obtained using both codes departs, and less consistent results are obtained. This paper concludes that using the recommended value of 36º obtained with the AASHTO provisions, some consistent and more accurate results are obtained.

Reinforced concrete beam elements are submitted to applicable loads along their life cycle that cause shear and torsion. These elements may be subject to only shear, pure torsion or both, torsion and shear combined. The Brazilian Standard Code ABNT NBR 6118:2007 [1] fixes conditions to calculate the transverse reinforcement area in beam reinforced concrete elements, using two design models, based on the strut and tie analogy model, first studied by Mörsch [2]. The strut angle θ (theta) can be considered constant and equal to 45º (Model I), or varying between 30º and 45º (Model II). In the case of transversal ties (stirrups), the variation of angle α (alpha) is between 45º and 90º. When the equilibrium torsion is required, a resistant model based on space truss with hollow section is considered. The space truss admits an inclination angle θ between 30º and 45º, in accordance with beam elements subjected to shear. This paper presents a theoretical study of models I and II for combined shear and torsion, in which ranges the geometry and intensity of action in reinforced concrete beams, aimed to verify the consumption of transverse reinforcement in accordance with the calculation model adopted As the strut angle on model II ranges from 30º to 45º, transverse reinforcement area (Asw) decreases, and total reinforcement area, which includes longitudinal torsion reinforcement (Asℓ), increases. It appears that, when considering model II with strut angle above 40º, under shear only, transverse reinforcement area increases 22% compared to values obtained using model I.

Transversal Reinforcement

Some bridges have to withstand high levels of torsion forces. As a consequence, box type beams are often the obvious solution. It could be possible that the balance of transversal to longitudinal torsion reinforcement is not fully reached. If the transversal reinforcement is somehow underestimated, the box beam needs to be transversally strengthened. From the various solutions, external transversal reinforcement is certainly one possibility. The investigation presented here aimed to study such solution. The authors tested four hollow beams under pure torsion. The level of the non balanced ratio between internal longitudinal and transversal torsion reinforcement was one of the parameters that were considered in this investigation. Other parameter was the existence or the no existence of external transversal strengthening reinforcement. The experimental results of the tests have shown the effectiveness of the use of the external transversal strengthening steel reinforcement to compensate the lack of balance of internal transversal to longitudinal torsion reinforcement with respect to various behaviour aspects, such as: increasing of torque strength, increasing of ductility, increasing of cracking torsion moment, and better distribution of cracking. Santrauka Kai kurie tiltai turi atlaikyti dideles sukimo jėgas. Tam tikslui dažnai naudojamos dėžinio skerspjūvio sijos. Gali būti, kad tarp sukimui atlaikyti naudojamos skersinės ir išilginės armatūros ne visada pasiekiamas tinkamas balansas. Jei skersinė sija armuota nepakankamai, dėžinio skerspjūvio sijas gali tekti papildomai stiprinti. Vienas iš įvairių galimų stiprinimo variantų – armavimas išorine skersine armatūra. Šiame straipsnyje pateikiama tokio stiprinimo analizė. Autoriai išbandė keturias grynojo sukimo veikiamas dėžinio skerspjūvio sijas. Vienas iš tyrimo parametrų – skersinės ir išilginės sukimo armatūrų santykio nesubalansuotumo lygis. Kitas parametras – išorinės skersinės stiprinimo armatūros buvimas arba nebuvimas. Eksperimentinių tyrimų rezultatai parodė stiprinti naudojamos išorinės plieninės skersinės armatūros veiksmingumą, kompensuojant vidinės skersinės ir išilginės suktinės armatūrų tarpusavio nesubalansuotumą. Efektyvumas buvo įrodytas tokias aspektais: padidėjusi sukamoji galia ir elastingumas, padidėjęs plyšių atsiradimo sukimo momentas bei geresnis plyšių pasiskirstymas.

Abstract This article examines numerically the flexibility influence of support beams in static response and dynamic properties of a symmetric plate formed by massive slabs of reinforced concrete in elastic linear regime, using the Finite Element Method. In the static response the variation of bending mo-ments and displacements are evaluated, which depend on the relationship between the flexibility of the slab and the beam. The evaluation of dynamic properties is held in undamped free vibration, through which the vibration modes and the values of the natural frequencies is obtained, which are compared with the limits of the Brazilian standard code for design of concrete structures. Results show that the response may show great variation due to the change in the relationship between bending stiffness of the slabs and the beams.

This paper aims to analyze the plastic collapse moment of circumferential cracked cylinder under pure torsion using the NSC approach and 3D FE model. The material considered in this work is assumed to be elastic-perfectly plastic. The influences of geometric parameters of crack and cylinder, such as Rm/t, a/t and θ/π on solution of plastic collapse load are also investigated. The analysis shows that for the case of a/t < 0.75, the values of limit torsion moment can be estimated by NSC analysis which provides conservative results. However, for the case of deeper crack, a/t ≥ 0.75, the limit load solution predicted by NSC approach may not be safe, because the distribution of stress at yielding state does not correspond to the NSC assumption. Therefore, the approximated solution of collapse torsion moment for the case of deeper crack with a/t ≥ 0.75 is proposed based on FE analysis.

State Of Stress

The concrete column with a longitudinal hole has been loaded by a system of forces. Within the beam around the hole, the values of the tensile stresses exceed the limit. Implementing the stress of the opposite direction, they could be eliminated. This stress is induced by four bars prestressed for 100 kN. A detailed FEM model is presented in the paper.

Abstract Based on the Hill yield criterion, the analytical solutions of the limit load of orthotropic thick-walled pipes under pure internal pressure, bending moment and torsion are given respectively. The simplified Mises analytical solution and finite element results of limit load for isotropic thick-walled pipe are obtained. The solution verifies the reliability of the analytical solution. The paper discusses the difference of limit load of isotropic and orthotropic pipes under the conditions of pure internal pressure, pure bending moment and pure torsion moment. It is concluded that the influence of material anisotropy on the limit load is significant. The limit load of pipe under pure internal pressure is mainly determined by circumferential yield strength, pure bending is only related to axial yield strength and pure torsion moment is related to the yield strength in the 45° direction and radial yield strength.

Indirect micromethods were designed for the assay of human renin (lower limit 0.25 times 10-4 U and of antirenin to human renin (lower limit 3 times 10-4 U), with the rat used for the bioassay of the angiotensin produced by the action of renin on renin substrate. This made possible the assay of unusually small amounts (0.01 mu1) of serum for antirenin. The Michaelis-Menten concept of a dissociating complex can be applied to the antireninrenin reaction: the rate constants for the formation and for the breakdown of the complex were k1 equal to 1.65 (ml/U antirenin per min) and k3 equal to 1.97 times 10-3 (U inactivated renin/U antirenin per min), respectively; the apparent Michaelis constant was 12 times 10-4 (U renin/ml). A second method of analysis was also applied by assuming the formation of a rather tight complex, with antirenin functioning as an irreversible inactivator of renin. Both methods of analysis yielded practically the same rate constant (k1 equal to 1.65 and k1 equal to 1.71), but the treatment according to the Michaelis-Menten equation affords a slightly better fit of the experimental data (accuracy equal to plus or minus 15.5 percent) than the second method of calculation (accuracy equal to plus or minus 21.6 percent).

Abstract As early as 1912, it was pointed out by Rosenhain and Ewen (1) that the behavior of metals at high temperatures could be explained by the combined action of the crystals and the so-called grain boundaries. This theory was also made use of later to explain problems in connection with creep phenomena (2). The author discusses subsequent studies in the United States and Germany, relating to the occurrence of brittle fractures in metals after long periods of time. With the aid of the Rosenhain-Ewen conceptions, he attempts to reconcile discrepancies between recent observations on the occurrence of inter-crystalline fractures after long test periods. His evaluation of the theories cited offers an explanation of various phenomena which previously could not be interpreted, and also furnishes a basis for determining the risk of failure with creep in a three-dimensional system of stress. He concludes that the problem of calculating the strength of a material subjected to creep is actually solved only when the metallurgist and the steel manufacturer are in a position to furnish the designer with complete experimental data enabling him to predict failure for all systems of stress occurring in practice.
