In the joint core regions of steel reinforced ultra high strength concrete frame, the forces are complicated. In seismic area or under some exceptional conditions, it is difficult to repair for joint when cracks occur, so crack resistance performance is important. Based on the experiment of steel reinforced ultra high strength concrete (SRUHSC) column to steel reinforced concrete (SRC) beam joint subjected to reversal cycle load, the crack resistance capacity is studied and applied calculation method for crack resistance capacity is proposed. Compared with the test results, the calculated results are in good agreement with them.

This paper presents an application of high strength concrete to concrete-encased composite frame building based on an experimental program. The work emphasized joints behavior under reverse cyclic loading caused by earthquakes to provide information for seismic design. To investigate the internal mechanisms and seismic performance, cyclic loading tests were carried out on five half-scale interior joints. Two design variables were addressed in the research: concrete strength and axial column load. Frame joints performance including crack pattern, failure mode, deformation, ductility, strain distribution, and energy dissipation capacity was investigated. It was found that all joint specimens behaved in a manner with joint panel shear failure. Using high strength concrete increased the joint strength and had relatively little effect on the stiffness and ductility. The axial column load helped the joint strength by better mobilizing the outer part of the joint, but it had an obvious influence on the ductility and energy-dissipating capacity, which can be improved by providing enough transverse reinforcement. A typical crack pattern was also provided which can well reflect mechanical character and damage process. This research should contribute to the future engineering applications of high strength concrete to concrete-encased composite structure.

Flexural Hinges

Full-range analysis methods are becoming popular in design of reinforced concrete structures. These methods require a knowledge of the behaviour of plastic hinges up to advanced curvatures. Concrete sections characteristically soften beyond the plastic phase. To analyse a strain-softening structure, many researchers have used a finite hinge length. In this paper, existing formulae are re-examined and the effects of different variables on hinge length are discussed. Experimentally measured values are compared with the values predicted by using these formulae. It is shown that the upper and lower bounds suggested by the ACI committee 428 provide reliable estimates of hinge lengths for both normal and high-strength concrete flexural hinges up to 80 MPa.
