Structural Failures

This paper is based on the experience from investigating over 400 structural collapses, incidents and serious structural damage cases with steel structures which have occurred over the past four centuries. The cause of the failures is most often a gross human error rather than a combination of “normal” variations in parameters affecting the load-carrying capacity, as considered in normal design procedures and structural reliability analyses. Human errors in execution are more prevalent as cause for the failures than errors in the design process, and the construction phase appears particularly prone to human errors. For normal steel structures with quasi-static (non-fatigue) loading, various structural instability phenomena have been observed to be the main collapse mode. An important observation is that welds are not as critical a cause of structural steel failures for statically loaded steel structures as implicitly understood in current regulations and rules for design and execution criteria.

Main Shocks

Numerous existing steel framed buildings located in earthquake prone regions world-wide were designed without seismic provisions. Slender beam-columns, as well as non-ductile beam-to-column connections have been employed for multi-storey moment-resisting frames (MRFs) built before the 80’s. Thus, widespread damage due to brittle failure has been commonly observed in the past earthquakes for steel MRFs. A recent post-earthquake survey carried out in the aftermath of the 2016-2017 Central Italy seismic swarm has pointed out that steel structures may survive the shaking caused by several main-shocks and strong aftershocks without collapsing. Inevitably, significant lateral deformations are experienced, and, in turn, non-structural components are severely damaged thus inhibiting the use of the steel building structures. The present papers illustrates the outcomes of a recent preliminary numerical study carried out for the case of a steel MRF building located in Amatrice, Central Italy, which experienced a series of ground motion excitations suffering significant damage to the masonry infills without collapsing. A refined numerical model of the sample structure has been developed on the basis of the data collected on site. Given the lack of design drawings, the structure has been re-designed in compliance with the Italian regulations imposed at the time of construction employing the allowable stress method. The earthquake performance of the case study MRF has been then investigated through advanced nonlinear dynamic analyses and its structural performance has been evaluated according to Eurocode 8-Part 3 for existing buildings. The reliability of the codified approaches has been evaluated and possible improvements emphasized.

The innovations strengthening building structures are important topics. Failure in structures such as beams and columns due to time, re-functions of a building, even initial design errors that are weak or lack the safety factor of a building structure. External reinforced concrete beams are one of the beams currently being developed. It is a concrete block with reinforcement of steel reinforcement on the outer (external) of the beam. This study aims to determine the index of increasing beam strength and ductility after retrofitting external steel reinforcement, which has the dimension of beams 15 x 15 x 100 cm, repeating 12 pcs, with external reinforcement each 6 pcs 2Ø6 and 3Ø6. The results from this study are an increasing the index of beam flexural strength after retrofit with external steel reinforcement. Meanwhile, beams after retrofit with 2Ø6 external steel have an average increase index of 1.25 and 1.21 while for external steel 3Ø6 are 1.29 and 1.60 respectively. The ductility depends on the value of ultimate load and maximum deflection that occurs, where the ductility value for the comparison of each specimen experiences a reduction in the average ductility value with 2Ø6 external steel which is 37.74% and 70.95% while with 3Ø6 external steel is 61,65% and 60.62%.

Pilot Implementation

This work is focused in implementing and assessing a flipped classroom model in the concrete and steel structures subject, a core subject within architecture undergraduate studies. Even though current legislation in Spain settle architects as the last responsible of building structures, most architects delegate these processes in professional studios specialized in structures. Being the most common way of proceeding in architectural studios, it is not uncommon among architects to think that a deep knowledge in structures is not necessary, especially regarding calculations development. In this framework, concrete and steel structures is a subject with high logical reasoning component using mathematics, and this knowledge is considered by most of the students as difficult to acquire. With the aim of increasing students' motivation in the subject contents and improving students' acquisition of competences a new teaching proposal using flipped classroom method has been designed, implemented, and analyzed.

Partial factors are commonly based on expert judgements and on calibration to previous design formats. This inevitably results in unbalanced structural reliability for different types of construction materials, loads and limit states. Probabilistic calibration makes it possible to account for plentiful requirements on structural performance, environmental conditions, production and execution quality etc. In the light of ongoing revisions of Eurocodes and the development of National Annexes, the study overviews the methodology of probabilistic calibration, provides input data for models of basic variables and illustrates the application by a case study. It appears that the partial factors recommended in the current standards provide for a lower reliability level than that indicated in EN 1990. Different values should be considered for the partial factors for imposed, wind and snow loads, appreciating the distinct nature of uncertainties in their load effects.

Fire resistance of building structures is important not only in terms of prevention of hazards to human health, but also from the economic point of view. The choice of method of fire protection of steel structures depends on the responsible choice of finish or cladding material and suitable technology implementation. Although the assessment of fire risk is a priority, when selecting the decisive criteria we must not also forget the cost of fire protection measures. This article aims at economic comparison of the two fire protection measures for the steel column of rolled profiles.

Abstract The length of reinforced concrete blocks varies widely, while in general the reinforcement produced in Indonesia is 12 m. Therefore, the use of reinforcement in a long stretch is done to be connected. The through connection is the most economical connection [2]. Lap splice can be made by overlapping the reinforcement which is touching or separate [3]. Splicing reinforcement can cause the strength of reinforced concrete beams to be reduced or even damaged so that rehabilitation measures are needed which can be in the form of retrofit (repair). Retrofitting with wiremesh and self compacting concrete (SCC) is considered to improve building structures. Reinforcement overlapping on reinforced concrete beams retrofit with wiremesh and self compacting concrete can be analyzed by numerical methods to determine their effect on bending behavior. Now, to analyze a structural behavior, it can be done using finite element method based program. The application of the finite element method is used in several programs, including ABAQUS, ADINA, Atena, ANSYS, etc. This study aims to analyze the overlapping of reinforcement in retrofit reinforced concrete beams against the flexural behavior, overlapping is made at one-third and one-third of the beam span using finite element method based analysis software.

Test Objects

Preferably in testing, building structures need not be destroyed. Tests that can be used on the concrete can use non-destructive methods that do not damage the test objects. Examples of testing can use UPV tests that are aimed at knowing the quality of concrete from the pulse velocity. The test objects used in this study are reinforced concrete beams with dimensions 20 x 20 x 100 cm. Test objects are differentiated into 3 quality variations of reinforced concrete with quality of concrete12.5 MPa, 18.75 MPa, and 25 MPa. To conduct analysis of the concrete density used PUNDIT PL-200. Ultrasonic pulse velocity into parameters on this test. From the results of the tests, there are differences in the value of different coefficient of the R2 determination. Acquired coefficient value of determination R2 = 0.9076 in direct method. The coefficient value of determination R2 = 0.8718 in the semi-direct method. Coefficient value of determination R2 = 0.3042 at Indirect Method 2 point, and in indirect method 3 point the coefficient value of determination R2 = 0.7524. From this research also obtained comparisons between the three methods, namely between the direct method and the semi-direct method, direct method and indirect method, also semi-direct method and indirect method.
