However, design guidelines have not been fully developed for reinforced concrete buildings with concrete compressive strengths higher than 35.3 MPa. Therefore the Japanese Building Research Institute initiated \"New RC Project\" aimed at establishing design guidelines for buildings constructed using high strength concrete. The project started in 1988 and extensive research has been conducted at several research institutes and universities. Shear tests on beams and columns with high strength concrete were also conducted as part of program to establish the shear design method for them. This paper summarizes findings from the New RC tests and others on shear strength of reinforced concrete beams and columns with high strength concrete and high strength shear reinforcement. The accuracy of currently available shear strength equations are then examined. The shear design method proposed by the Shear Working Group of the New RC project is also introduced in this paper.","PeriodicalId":208613,"journal":{"name":"SP-176: High-Strength Concrete in Seismic Regions","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130338852","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 emphasis is placed on the effects of confinement parameters and related experimental research. A review of analytical models proposed for HSC is also presented. The results indicate that for similar strength and deformability, HSC requires higher confinement pressure than normal-strength concrete. The level of lateral pressure required can be provided by increasing the volumetric ratio and grade of confinement reinforcement. The efficiency of pressure can be improved by reducing the spacing of lateral reinforcement in both the longitudinal and cross-sectional planes. When properly confined, HSC exhibits ductile stress-strain characteristics. The analytical models developed for normal -strength concrete cannot be used to describe stress-strain characteristics of HSC. A number of models have been proposed for HSC that produce good correlations with experimental data.","PeriodicalId":208613,"journal":{"name":"SP-176: High-Strength Concrete in Seismic Regions","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123172134","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}

HSC columns under concentric compression and under combined axial compression and lateral load reversals are discussed. Experimentally observed column strengths are compared with those computed based on the provisions of ACI 318 (1) building code and analytical models proposed for HSC columns. The results indicate that the rectangular stress block currently used for normal-strength concrete is not applicable to HSC, especially for columns under high compression where the overall response is dominated by concrete. A triangular and a modified rectangular stress block is presented. Column capacity under concentric compression is illustrated with due considerations given to early spalling of cover concrete. Axial and lateral deformabilities of HSC columns are discussed with emphasis placed on the parameters of confinement. It is shown that HSC columns conforming to the current building code requirements may exhibit ductile behavior under moderate and low levels of axial compression. Higher grade lateral reinforcement can be utilized effectively to confine HSC columns to produce improved inelastic deformability under higher levels of axial compression.","PeriodicalId":208613,"journal":{"name":"SP-176: High-Strength Concrete in Seismic Regions","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122048013","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 concrete strength of specimens ranged from 27 MPa to 132 MPa and the strength of transverse reinforcement ranged from 173 MPa to 1360 MPa. Small size specimens with section dimension of about 200 mm have been conducted mainly but it is notable that four quasi-real size specimens with 470 mm square section were tested through the New RC Projects. The second purpose of this report is to introduce the recent research works on models, examining their feasibility. Conclusions included the following: (1) Regarding the maximum strength of the square confined specimens, the predictions with the models proposed by Sakino et al. and Watanabe et al. were accurate enough especially for quasi-real size specimens. However, the accuracy of the prediction for the axial strain became much worse compared with that for maximum strength in each model. (2) Regarding the stress-strain curves, the relations of the model by Sakino were quite similar to the observed curves until the end of the loading of quasi-real size specimens. (3) Regarding the effects of the material strengths, assuming that the model by Sakino was true, it was concluded that the stress increase was independent of the concrete strength and proportional to the strength of transverse reinforcement as far as it reached 687 MPa. On the other hand, the strain increase depended on the concrete strength: it decreased with the increasing value of the concrete strength.","PeriodicalId":208613,"journal":{"name":"SP-176: High-Strength Concrete in Seismic Regions","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121583668","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 concrete strength ranged from 20 to 120 MPa and from 30 to 120 MPa for the reinforced and prestressed concrete beams, respectively. The results show that for rectangular concrete beams, an increase in concrete strength results in a rather significant reduction in the beam depth, whereas for rectangular prestressed concrete beams no significant reduction in the beam depth is gained from increasing the concrete strength because the deflection governs the design.","PeriodicalId":208613,"journal":{"name":"SP-176: High-Strength Concrete in Seismic Regions","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":"115356195","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}
