Its purpose in members that are not subjected to significant shear loading is to provide proper confinement for concrete, and eliminate buckling of the longitudinal reinforcement bars. If spirals are to be used as both shear enabler and confiner for reinforced concrete beams, then under combined action of moment and shear, spirals will be required to provide or contribute to proper shear resistance. Hence a proper assessment for spiral shear contribution is required. The validity of concepts which underlines current methods for shear design used in design codes will be investigated in this paper especially for beams with the shear configuration used, which violates basic code rules in truss formation. A simplified model based on sectional crack analysis for assessing spiral shear contribution is proposed for practical design consideration.","PeriodicalId":45617,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Structural Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85289825","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}

However, implementing a non-linear analysis and design method in accordance with the Australian Standard for concrete structures (AS 3600) introduces many difficult technical issues into the design, of which the standard provides little guidance. The aim of this study is to provide a framework and general guidance for designers who wish to perform non-linear displacement-based analysis methods for RC wall buildings. The paper will present how these methods can be used in accordance with the Australian Standard for earthquake actions (AS 1170.4) to assess seismic compliance and then provide recommendations for the requirements stipulated by AS 3600, which includes an experimentally validated tension stiffening model, nonlinear stress-strain material curves, mean material properties and material strain limits. The paper is concluded with a case study example of how a displacement-based seismic assessment can be performed using a typical case study building.","PeriodicalId":45617,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Structural Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79447910","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 paper also provides recommendations for mean material properties for the purpose of undertaking non-linear analysis of RC structures. The database of test results also includes early age strength data for concrete, which have been used to provide recommendations for predicting the early age strength of various standard grades of concrete available in Australia.

However, the use of precast concrete slab in steel–concrete composite construction is considered as new, hence many factors that affect its behaviour need to be investigated. It becomes interesting when the application of interlocking tongue and groove joints between precast concrete slabs is introduced. For this purpose, a performance comparison between normal precast slab and interlocking tongue and groove precast slab in composite construction is conducted using finite element analysis. Both are designed to have full composite action using bolted shear connector. In this research, a total of five models including a control model were developed to study the flexural behaviour of designated composite beam. The model has been verified against experimental results, which showed a good agreement . Parametric studies were performed to investigate the effects of bolt size and height on flexural behaviour of the beam. The present study demonstrated that the presence of interlocking joints between slabs with larger diameter bolt can efficiently improve the stiffness of the composite system.","PeriodicalId":45617,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Structural Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74264649","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}

In this paper, fuzzy algorithm types 1 and 2 have been used as controllers to evaluate the voltage of semi-active dampers. To design a proper fuzzy logic controller, membership functions and suitable rule sets need to be tuned and extracted. The location of a semi-active damper is very significant to reduce the responses of structure. In this paper, a 15-story building’s responses for both uncontrolled and controlled (with MR dampers) situations subject to different ground motions are evaluated. Type 1 and type 2 fuzzy logic controllers, and the location of three MR dampers are optimised by Grey Wolf Optimiser, and also dissipating energies are investigated. The results show that although both optimised controllers can successfully reduce the seismic response of the building, the performance of the fuzzy type 2 controller is slightly superior than type 1. It is confirmed that the best location for dampers would be in the upper stories.","PeriodicalId":45617,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Structural Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91011525","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}

It has been calibrated against the strengths of full-size glulam beams ranging in depths from 150 mm to 1200 mm over spans of 2.7 m up to 19.5 m. Comparisons are made at both the mean strength and 5th percentile strength levels with the latter drawing attention to the fact that all test series invariably involve observation of minimum values that means the statistical distributions are invariably truncated. For Weibull distributions, this has an impact on the shape factor and, therefore, the local coefficient of variation of the lower tail, which plays an important role in size effects in glulam and potentially has wider implications.","PeriodicalId":45617,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Structural Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84684711","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}

In this article, effects of fly ash and steel/polypropylene fibres on the self-healing ability of concrete were investigated separately and together. The cylindrical specimens were pre-cracked by means of a tensile strength test at 28 days. Secondary tensile test was performed immediately after pre-cracking and 28 and 56 days after re-curing in water. Also, to monitor microcracks in concrete after pre-cracking and during the self-healing period, the ultrasonic pulse velocity and permeability tests were conducted. The results showed that 15% fly ash replacement led to 94% reduction in permeability and almost complete recovery in secondary tensile strength after 8 weeks of re-curing. Although the specimen with polypropylene lost lower tensile strength among specimens with fibre immediately after pre-loading (22%), the improvement rate of those during the self-healing period was only 27%.","PeriodicalId":45617,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Structural Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87174734","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 method uses operational strain time-history responses to detect damage in truss elements, and change in support behaviour. Dynamic strain time-history responses obtained under baseline and unknown-state bridge conditions are used to compute the magnitudes of differences in strain values between two successive time-steps. A new damage-sensitive feature (DSF) is proposed as the change in percentage of the square root of the sum of squared values of these magnitudes. After establishing a threshold DSF based on the baseline bridge, further structural change or damage in the bridge could be detected and located by observing the values of the DSFs. The validity of the method is investigated through finite element analysis of a steel-truss railway bridge. It is demonstrated that the proposed method yields promising results for identifying, locating, and relatively assessing the damage, and could be useful even when different operational conditions (i.e. different train speeds and loads) and measurement noise influence the strain data. Therefore, the proposed method has the potential to assist in developing effective maintenance strategies for railway bridges.","PeriodicalId":45617,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Structural Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73253702","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 incremental demand for aggregates in concrete is affecting the environment due to excessive exploitation of natural rocks. In an effort to conserve the natural resources and minimise the adverse impacts of industrial by-products in the environment, it is essential to explore the suitable alternate materials for construction. Under such circumstances, an attempt was made with coconut shell aggregate (CSA) as a substitute for conventional coarse aggregate (CA) in self-compacting concrete (SCC). In this investigation, binary and ternary blended SCC were developed using the mineral admixtures such as rice husk ash (RHA) and silica fume (SF). Two series of SCC were designed with the total powder content of 450 and 550 kg/m3 , respectively, for investigation. The effects of CSA in SCC on fresh and hardened properties were studied and compared with the results obtained without CSA. The results revealed that use of 75% CSA in SCC reduced the density below the threshold level of structural lightweight concrete (1850 kg/m3) in dry state. The CSA-based lightweight self-compacting concrete (LWSCC) possesses good fluidity, deformability, passing ability and filling ability in its fresh state. The compressive strength and elastic modulus of LWSCC were determined and found that the results are decreased after the substitution of more than 75% of CSA. Further, the paper intended to predict an appropriate correlation between compressive strength and elastic modulus of CSA-based LWSCC.","PeriodicalId":45617,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Structural Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88343507","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}
