Holes are often made inside the column structure for plumbing, mechanical, and electrical installation purposes may affect the structural performance of the column. Therefore, this paper aims to model and analyze the effect of holes in reinforced concrete column structures due to lateral loads. Data were obtained from the reference frame structure of the previous researcher, with varying centric column holes of 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%, and 12%, respectively to the column cross-sectional area. Furthermore, a hole with a ratio of 4% to the column cross-sectional area was placed at 5 and 10 mm eccentric to the center of column cross-section to examine the influence of holes position in the perforated column. The frame structure was modelled and analyzed by Finite Element (FE) using ABAQUS software. The result showed that the maximum load, displacement, and crack pattern resulted from the model is close to the experimental result. The results of the analysis showed that with the hole size of 2% to 12% of the column cross-sectional area, the frame strength was reduced by 5.43% to 15.56%.  The frame strength was also reduced by 2.77% and 6.14% when the hole placed 5mm and 10 mm eccentric to the center of the column cross-section area. The displacement of the frame also decreases by 59.63% to 74.60% when the holes with the ratio of 2% to 12% to the column cross-sectional area exist in the column. The existence of eccentric holes on the column reduced the performance of the frame structure, by decreasing its strength, displacement and ductility.

A mathematical expression has been developed for determining the cross-sectional area of reinforcement of an eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete column of circular cross section, which makes it possible to simplify consideration of the infl uence of structural indicators and quality parameters of reinforcement and concrete on the required area of longitudinal reinforcement of reinforced concrete column. An example of using this formula in the calculation is shown. This mathematical expression can be used in the design of reinforced concrete columns, racks of power lines and circular supports as the least time-consuming method of engineering calculation, allowing to determine the cross-sectional area of longitudinal reinforcement.

This article proposes a new connection between a steel bearing and a reinforced concrete column, which is mainly used for provisionally providing jack support in existing reinforced concrete structures. In this suggested connection joint, the steel bearing consisted of two or four symmetrical components assembled by high-strength bolts, which surrounds the reinforced concrete column by a tapered tube and balances the vertical load via the friction force between the tapered tube and concrete, that is, through a self-locking mechanism. The proposed connection joint can be assembled easily at a construction site and can also be disassembled and reused many times. To demonstrate the feasibility of this type of connection joint, a simple test was conducted to illustrate the concept, that is, a total of four medium-scale steel bearing–reinforced concrete column connections with circular cross sections were fabricated and tested under axial loading. The test results showed that the steel bearing–reinforced concrete column connection based on self-locking mechanism exhibited good working performance. Furthermore, a simplified formula to predict the axial stiffness of the connection joint was presented. From the tests and the proposed formula, the most important factors that influence the axial stiffness of this type of connection joint on the premise of an elastic working state are the slope of the tapered tube, the height of the steel bearing, the thickness of the tapered tube, the cross section of the reinforced concrete column, the cross-sectional area of all the connecting bolts, the proportion of the number of top bolts, the area of the top ring plate, and the effective contact area ratio.

The pressure differences that can be used to drive a natural ventilation system are very small and thus large apertures are required to allow sufficient air to enter and leave a building to ensure good air quality or thermal comfort. Large apertures are potential acoustic weak points on a façade and may require some form of acoustic treatment such as absorbent linings, in which case the ventilator is similar to a short section of lined duct. In ducts, the performance of absorbent linings increases with the length of lining and the ratio of the length of lined perimeter to the cross sectional area of the duct. Thus, for a duct of a given cross sectional area, a lining is more effective for a duct with a high aspect ratio than for a duct with a square cross section. However, the high aspect ratio cross section will result in greater flow resistance and impede the airflow performance. In this paper numerical methods are employed to investigate the effect of different configurations of a lined aperture on the acoustical and ventilation performance of the aperture in order to establish the optimum configurations.

Several parameters and corresponding performance of reinforced concrete column cross-sections of different shapes (square, rectangular, circular, T-shape, I-shape, cross-shape, L-shape and C-shape) under various loading conditions have been studied in order to determine the suitable and optimum cross-sections for strength and ductility. In each cross-section shape, parameters include compressive strength of concrete (f’c), tensile strength of steel (fy), steel ratio (As/Ag), and angle of bending. In order to demonstrate the behavior and performance of the sections in terms of strength and ductility, CSISectionBuilder software was used to define the stress-strain curve for concrete and steel and then compute the moment-curvature relationship for each section. Considering different sections, the number of parameters in every section and various loading conditions, a total of around 1,800 sections were analyzed. The comparison procedures started within each section shape, and then across different sections in order to determine the most suitable cross-section for strength and ductility. Results of the study are deemed very useful in the system selection and preliminary design of important structures such as buildings with complicated geometry and high architectural demand including bridge piers and hydraulic structures.

A variety of normalizations have been employed to compare maximal isometric force (Po) produced by smooth muscles at different locations and stages of maturation. Because these procedures have not always been based on rigorous principles, confusion has resulted. To obtain a less ambiguous index of force production, we measured in vitro Po from mongrel canine tracheal (TSM) and bronchial (BSM) smooth muscle with an electromagnetic lever and normalized it to force per unit cross-sectional area of whole tissue (tissue stress), to force per unit cross-sectional area of muscle in the cross section of total tissue (muscle stress), and to force per fractional unit of myosin in the tissue cross section (myosin stress). Proportion of myosin in cross-sectional area of tissue was deduced from data obtained by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis of crude muscle extracts. For TSM, tissue stress was 1.499 X 10(5) N/m2 +/- 0.1 (SE), whereas it was only 0.351 X 10(5) N/m2 +/- 0.05 (SE) for BSM, representing a 4.27-fold difference (P less than 0.01). There was a 1.60-fold difference (P less than 0.05) in muscle stress, which was correlated to the morphometric finding that 79 +/- 1.4% (SE) of the tracheal strip cross section was muscle, whereas only 30 +/- 1.0% (SE) of bronchial tissue was occupied by muscle. Average myosin content was the same in smooth muscle cells of TSM and BSM, indicating that total amount of myosin in tissue cross sections was essentially a function of proportional area of muscle cells in total tissue cross sections.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

This study experimentally investigated corrosion-induced deterioration in reinforced concrete (RC) structures: concrete cover cracking, steel-concrete bond loss, and mechanical degradation of corroded steel bars. Pullout and RC beam specimens were prepared, subjected to accelerated corrosion in a wet sand bath, and tested under loading. A 3D laser scan was employed to measure the surface profile of corroded steel bars and determine the corrosion effect on the distribution of residual cross section area. The crack width on the concrete surface was sampled randomly and analyzed statistically. Corrosion reduced the bond strength between steel bars and concrete, particularly in the form of corrosion-induced number and width of cracks. Both the yield and ultimate strengths depended upon the critical cross sectional area of steel bars, whereas the elongation changed with the cross section distribution over the length of the steel bars. Corrosion also changed the distribution of the cross sectional area of steel bars. The crack width on the concrete surface can be well represented by a normal distribution regardless of corrosion levels.
