An earthquake structures are mandatory to avoid significant damages (i.e., collapse) and aims that structure withstand a major earthquake without collapse. The design approach adopted is to ensure that the columns of the structure more capable to resist moments than beam; to avoid progressive collapse of structure due to failure of columns in lower level; it is necessary the columns have stronger than beams (strong column weak beam). The concept of SCWB is to ensure that plastic hinge formed in the beam not in the column; this help in dissipating the more energy along with providing ductility to the structure. If the plastic hinge is formed on the both ends of column then, the column is not able to spread the plasticity and collapse which are leads to global failure. The failure modes in all past earthquake is exactly opposite i.e, strong beam weak column; and comes to sway mechanism and fails to collapse. For this it is foreseen that the values of ratio of Mc/Mb (ratio of sum of ultimate moment of resistance of columns to sum of ultimate moment of resistance of beam) in the beam-column joint are stated by many design codes and the values are different ranging from 1.2,1.3,1.4,1.5 to 2, etc. Another effect of ratio Ic/Ib (ratio of moment of inertia of column to moment of inertia of beam) have been studied but the exact meeting of SCWB behaviour in the structures at the time of collapse not stated clearly. The Mc/Mb and Ic/Ib ratio are very important to prevent damage in the structure under seismic action. In the present work, attempts are made to achieve exact ratio of exact strong column weak beam. In this study, the combined effect of two ratio (Mc/Mb, Ic/Ib) simultaneously investigated in different zones of India to find out exact SCWB ratio’s value for to meet the SCWB behaviour. Different numerical examples are presented of combine ratios (Mc/Mb,Ic/Ib) and pushover analysis is performed on each ratio’s. The result of the investigation highlighted on the objective that is to find exact SCWB ratio value considering the parameter like target displacement, ductility ratio, hinge response etc.

This paper studies on the ultimate failure modes and bearing capacity of high intake tower under the action of seismic load based on nonlinear concrete model. By monitoring the way of crack development and failure process of the tower to study failure mode under the action of various seismic wave, we can conclud that the regional distributions of the structural crack of tower body vary with the duration of an earthquake. In the early period of earthquake, the crack has little effect on the whole structure. After duration of the earthquake, the structure forms penetrable cracks. By studying the cracks development and distribution on the structure of tower body under the action of various seismic waves, we know the failure process and failure mode of high intake tower. The conclusions provide evidence for engineering design and seismic analysis of pertinent engineering.

The role of higher-“mode” pushover analyses in seismic analysis of buildings is examined in this paper. It is demonstrated that the higher-“mode” pushover curves reveal plastic hinge mechanisms that are not detected by the first-“mode” or other FEMA-356 force distributions, but these purely local mechanisms are not likely to develop during realistic ground motions in an otherwise regular building without a soft and/or weak story. Furthermore, the conditions necessary for “reversal” of a higher-“mode” pushover curve are examined. It is shown that “reversal” in a higher-“mode” pushover curve occurs after formation of a mechanism if the resultant force above the bottom of the mechanism is in the direction that moves the roof in a direction opposite to that prior to formation of the mechanism. Such “reversal” can occur only in higher-“mode” pushover analyses but not in the pushover analyses for the first-“mode” or other FEMA-356 force distributions. However, the “reversal” in higher-“mode” pushover curves was found to be very rare in several recent investigations that examined behavior of many moment-resisting frame buildings. Included are guidelines for implementing the Modal Pushover Analysis for buildings that display “reversal” in a higher-“mode” pushover curve.

The formation and development of plastic hinge is the basis of the whole process of FRP reinforced concrete eccentricity compression and flexural member nonlinear analysis. The moment-rotation relationship of FRP reinforced rectangular column plastic hinge zone was studied. Its yield and ultimate moment formulas were proposed. The specific values of the moment and rotation were discussed in different modes of failure, retrofitting methods as well as FRP types. A constitutive relationship of FRP reinforced rectangular column plastic hinge zone was established. Based on the constitutive relationship, a pushover analysis of the numerical model is conducted, and the feasibility of its application in Etabs software through cases is verified.

In this article, the distribution of plastic hinge model is adopted to simulate the elastic and plastic of pile body, p-y curve is used to simulate resistance of pile foundation soil. We do static non-linear pushover analysis of the single pile of pile foundations, and research the influence of the axial compressive ratio η of pile shaft, longitudinal reinforcement rate ρ of section, stirrup ratio µof section and shear strength C of foundation soil to the system-interaction of pile and soil. The result shows that axial compressive ratio of pile shaft has a significant influence on horizontal limit bearing capacity and the displacement ductility of the system. With the increase of the axial compressive ratio, system of the displacement ductility reduces gradually, but the limit bearing capacity increases gradually. Under a horizontal load, the order and the mechanism of plastic hinge are obviously different because of different axial compressive ratio of pile shaft,This analysis method may further provide a reference for nonlinear seismic analysis of pile bents.


This study reviews mainly holistic design of PEB structure and comparison of behavior of reduced beam section at beam column sub assemblage. Commercial software based on finite element analysis is used for carrying out mathematical modeling and analysis. In recent construction work it is observed that during conditions like earthquake or cyclone connections fails resulting in to progressive collapse. Also it damages column resulting in failure of strong column weak beam theory. In present work after identifying problem structure is fused at connection by reducing beam cross section at location of connection. This is done by reducing cross section of beam in plan expected to result in shifting of plastic hinge from face of column. Reduced beam sections capacity is calculated by simple calculations and verifying them with moment curvature relationships at desired locations. This will concentrate on failure of fuse and not of connection during load application. Motivation of this study is to improve connection by fulfilling strong column and weak beam theory. This will motivate construction industry to utilize steel structures more often assuring repairing of structure as element failure will be dominant over failure of entire structure

This paper investigates the combined effect of flexural and shear actions on the failure modes of the high strength reinforced concrete (HRC) members using the proposed algorithm for plastic hinge formation. The accuracy of the present procedure for the HRC columns was verified by comparing the results obtained with those of the cyclic loading tests performed in Japan. To evaluate the seismic performance of the HRC high-rise buildings, a seismic performance checklist for the HRC buildings was recommended. Based on the proposed algorithm for formation of plastic hinges, the seismic performance of HRC buildings based on the static pushover analysis is evaluated. From the results of the pushover analysis, a simplified lumped-mass stick model was developed, which is adopted to evaluate the seismic performance using the nonlinear time history analysis. For the purpose of illustration, the seismic performance of a high-rise building constructed with HRC was investigated by both the nonlinear pushover and nonlinear dynamic analyses using the proposed procedure and concepts. The results of this paper serve as a useful reference for the seismic design and evaluation of HRC high-rise structures.

This paper studies the shear performance of the connection with the external stiffening ring between the square steel tubular column and unequal-depth steel beams. Two specimens of interior column connections were tested under low cyclic loading. The deformation characteristics and failure modes exhibited by the test phenomena can be summarized as: (1) two specimens all exhibited shear deformation in steel tube web of the panel zone and (2) weld fracture in the panel zone and plastic hinge failure at beam end were observed. Besides, load-displacement behaviors and strain distributions have been also discussed. The nonlinear finite element models were developed to verify the test results. Comparative analyses of the bearing capacity, failure mode, and load-paths between the equal-depth and unequal-depth beam models have been carried out.

Numerous studies have been conducted on the in plane behavior of masonry infill walls to lateral loading simulating earthquake action on buildings. The present study is focused on a problem that has almost not been studied regarding the vertical (opposed to lateral) in-plane action on these walls. This may be of concern when a supporting column of a multi-storey reinforced concrete frame with infill masonry walls undergoes a severe damage due to an extreme loading such as a strong earthquake, car impact or military or terror action in proximity to the column. The loss of the supporting column may cause a fully or partly progressive collapse to a bare reinforced concrete frame, without infill masonry walls. The presence of the infill masonry walls may restrain the process and prevent the development of a progressive collapse. The aim of the present study is to test the in-plane composite action of Reinforced Concrete (RC) frames with infill masonry walls under vertical loading through laboratory experiments and evaluate the contributions of infill masonry walls, in an attempt to examine the infill masonry wall added resistance to the bare frame under these circumstances. Preliminary results of laboratory tests that have been conducted on reinforced concrete infilled frames without a support at their end, under monotonic vertical loading along that column axis will be presented. The observed damages and failure modes under vertical loading are clearly different from the already known failure modes observed in the case of lateral loading.

In order to investigate the seismic damage and performance of steel reinforced ultra high strength concrete composite joint subjected to reversal cycle load, six interior strong-column-weak-beam joint specimens were tested with various axial load ratio and volumetric stirrup ratio. A discussion on the crack mode and ductility was presented. It was found that all joint specimens failed in bending with a beam plastic hinge in a ductile manner, with crack propagation different from the weak-column-strong-beam joint. The experimental results indicated that test parameters of the steel reinforced ultra high strength concrete composite joint with good seismic performance may be referred for engineering application.
