This paper reports experimental data on the structural performance of disturbed regions in reinforced concrete beams with corrosion damage to the embedded steel stirrups. A total of 15 reinforced concrete beams were constructed and tested. The test beams were 350 mm deep, 125 mm wide, and 1850 mm long. The beams were tested in three-point bending under a simply supported span of 1500 mm. Nine beams had the embedded stirrups subjected to accelerated corrosion. The test variables were the corrosion damage level and the shear span-to-depth ratio. The test results indicated that the corroded beams exhibited reduced shear strength in comparison to the uncorroded control specimens. The shear strength reduction was up to 53%. Furthermore, the reduction in shear strength due to the corrosion was found to be greater at smaller shear span-to-depth ratios.

Failure Loads

This study simulates a procedure of rehabilitation of reinforced concrete beams with the aid of ANSYS 17 software. In this work, the BIRTH and DEATH procedure (in ANSYS) was adopted to model the post-repairing stage. This aspect has rarely been considered by previous studies that utilized a carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheet when retrofitting. To verify the suggested technique, six specimens were analyzed with two values of shear span-to-depth ratios (3 and 4) and three spaces of CFRP sheets (100mm, 150mm and 200mm). The effect of the repairing process on the structural performance of the retrofitted beam is also investigated.It is found that the suggested technique yielded a good agreement with the experimental results and the maximum differences in the failure loads between the numerical and experimental results were 10% and 4% for shear span-to-depth ratios of 3 and 4, respectively. It was also ascertained that upgrading reinforced concrete members within the early stages of loading showed a better enhancement in the loading capacity compared to upgrading reinforced concrete members close to the juncture of failure.

Discrete Elements

Shear deformation in reinforced concrete structures is of a complex nature. A thorough understanding of the interaction between the shear strength, flexural strength, and flexural ductility is not yet achieved. A new shear-deformation-based theory is proposed and validated in this study. The so-called two-discrete-elements (TDE) shear deformation theory idealizes reinforced concrete members as series of two discrete types of elements: S-elements and C-elements. The S-elements are used to model the regions of concrete reinforced to resist flexural and shear deformation using longitudinal and transverse steel reinforcement, while the C-elements are used to model the reinforced concrete sections bounded by the stirrups. The compatibility between the two types of elements is enforced by controlling the crack angle. The formulation of the newly developed theory is discussed in terms of equilibrium of forces, compatibility within the elements, compatibility at the interface, and constitutive material modeling. The theory was applied to evaluate the deformability of reinforced concrete shear walls subjected to lateral loads for seismic design applications. It was also implemented to generate sample design charts referred to as axial–moment–shear interaction diagrams. These diagrams can be used to design shear walls subjected to combined action of axial load, moment, and shear as opposed to the conventional interaction diagrams in which only the axial load versus moment relationship is considered. Analysis results indicated the adequacy of the proposed theory in capturing the shear strength degradation and predicting structural failures controlled by the shear capacity.

Strut And Tie Model

Shear strength prediction of simple deep reinforced concrete beams by method of strut-and-tie model is presented in this paper. The tested specimens were designed according to Appendix A of ACI 318-11 code with variations of shear span-to-effective depth ratios and ratios of horizontal and vertical crack-controlling reinforcement. Test results revealed that at the same shear span-to-effective depth ratio, the various crack-controlling reinforcements significantly influenced on strength reduction coefficients of strut and failure modes. When the shear span-to-effective depth ratios were increased, failure modes changed from splitting diagonal strut to flexural-shear failure. Based on the test results, the proposed model was compared with Appendix A of ACI 318-11code.

Strength And Stiffness

Shear strength and stiffness of fire-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) beams were researched. The nonlinear finite element method (FEM) was developed to simulate shear strength of fire-damaged RC beams. Considering mechanical properties deterioration of concrete and steel reinforcing bar, the parameters of fire-damaged RC beams, including fire exposure time, shear span to depth ratios, concrete strength, diameters of stirrups and spacing of stirrups, were analyzed. Based on numerical analysis, the change of shear strength and stiffness of fire-damaged RC beams were identified. The results showed that shear strength and stiffness of fire-damaged RC beams changed under different parameters. With increase of fire exposure time or increase of shear span to depth ratio or decrease of concrete strength, shear strength and stiffness of fire-damaged RC beams descended obviously. With decrease of diameters of stirrups or increase of spacing of stirrups, shear strength of fire-damaged RC beams descended gradually, but stiffness of fire-damaged RC beams had little change.
