The deformation capacity of a column can be expressed in several different ways: (1) curvature ductility, (2) displacement ductility, or (3) drift. Even though several performance-based confining reinforcement design procedures have been proposed, the relationship between different ductility factors is not clearly understood. The effect of concrete strength, longitudinal reinforcement ratio, volumetric ratio of confining reinforcement, shear span-to-depth ratio, and axial load level on the relationship between different ductility factors was studied. Finally, the confinement reinforcement design requirements of current design codes and recently proposed performance-based design methods were compared and critically examined.","PeriodicalId":104265,"journal":{"name":"SP-238: International Symposium on Confined Concrete","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125325237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Researchers are working to obtain the proper post-peak behavior of tied columns with concrete strength greater than 60 MPa. Many empirical confinement models have been reported in the literature for the prediction of stress-strain behavior under concentric loading. However, nothing significant has been said about the numerical modeling of the problems wherein the nonlinear response of HSC tied columns may be reasonably predicted. In the present study, the nonlinear behavior of concrete material has been idealized by William-Warnke five-parameter model, which, to date, is the most widely accepted and sophisticated criterion. Within the framework of rate independent associative elasto-plasticity, a full backward Euler integration algorithm for stress updating has been implemented in the present work. A fixed crack smeared approach based upon fracture energy concept and non-local material softening law has been employed for the tensile modeling of concrete material. The computational model also involves the provision for cover spalling. A couple of examples have also been presented for validation of the numerical methodology proposed in this work.","PeriodicalId":104265,"journal":{"name":"SP-238: International Symposium on Confined Concrete","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124484430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of these parameters, the lateral confining stress was found to have the greatest influence, but the coefficient for the concrete used was found to be slightly lower than the 4.1 that is implicit in ACI318-02. The cylinder size, the loading speed and the cyclic loading regimes were found to have essentially no influence on stress and strain at failure. The continuously wound jackets were found to initiate failure by delamination, rather than fracture of the fiber, and to lower the stress and strain at failure.","PeriodicalId":104265,"journal":{"name":"SP-238: International Symposium on Confined Concrete","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130725677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Test results of retrofitted columns with circular steel jackets are compared with those obtained from the column specimens with and without rectangular steel- and CF sheet-jackets, and circular CF sheet jackets. One of the main conclusions is that the ultimate flexural strengths and deformation capacity of the R/C rectangular columns which are confined laterally by the circular steel- and CF sheet-jacketing are quite effective, especially in case of the columns under high axial-compression.","PeriodicalId":104265,"journal":{"name":"SP-238: International Symposium on Confined Concrete","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116186716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model incorporates the effective relevant parameters of confinement like concrete strength, yield strength of transverse reinforcement, spacing between lateral confining element, and dimensional configuration of column specimen and its transverse reinforcement. The model can be used for concrete confined by spirals, rectilinear hoops, crossties, and combinations of these reinforcements. The model demonstrates good predictive capability for concrete columns of compressive strength ranging from 20 MPa to 120 MPa.

This is realized by limiting the amount of tension reinforcement index, providing transverse reinforcement and others. For columns, the application of transverse reinforcement to potential plastic hinge region is essential, that is, the compressive ductility of concrete is improved and results in larger flexural ductility. In the 1980s, a new reinforced concrete (RC) project was carried out as a Japanese National Project to establish the design and construction guidelines for high-rise buildings, up to 200 meters high. For columns at the lower part of high-rise buildings, the use of high-strength (HSC) concrete is required. However, HSC fails in brittle manner and results in small flexural ductility of potential plastic hinges. Therefore the new RC project gave an opportunity to re-recognize the importance of lateral confinement to concrete. This paper presents the recent research works on confined concrete in Japan, mainly for HSC. Some experimental works and idealizations of stress-strain curve of confined concrete are introduced. Maximum compressive strength covered in this paper is 176 MPa.","PeriodicalId":104265,"journal":{"name":"SP-238: International Symposium on Confined Concrete","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133040203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experimental parameters are: 1) depth to thickness ratio (D/t ratio) and width to thickness ratio (B/t ratio) of steel tube; 2) axial load ratio; 3) material strength; 4) deformation history; and 5) annealing. One of the features of the test is the wide range of D/t and B/t ratio. The range of D/t ratio of the circular CFT columns is 40.5-160 and the range of B/t ratio of the square CFT columns is 32.8-98.0, respectively. The experimental load-deformation relations are compared with those of the elasto-plastic analysis based on the supposed stress-strain relationships established for the filled concrete and for the steel tube. The analytical results show good agreement with the test results for all specimens. This implies that the proposed stress-strain relationships for CFT columns are useful to predict the characteristics of the filled concrete and the steel tube.","PeriodicalId":104265,"journal":{"name":"SP-238: International Symposium on Confined Concrete","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124340494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
