Book Description
Longitudinal bar debonding allowed spread of yielding and prevented premature failure of reinforcements in UHPC-filled duct connections and grouted coupler column pedestal. The SMA-reinforced ECC column showed superior seismic performance compared to a conventional column in which the plastic hinge damage was limited to only ECC cover spalling even under 12% drift ratio cycles. The column residual displacements were 79% lower than CIP residual displacements on average due to the superelastic NiTi SMA longitudinal reinforcement, and higher base shear capacity and higher displacement capacity were observed. The analytical modeling methods were simple and sufficiently accurate for general design and analyses of precast components proposed in the present study. The proposed symmetrical material model for reinforcing NiTi superelastic SMA was found to be a viable alternative to the more complex asymmetrical model.
Seismic Assessment and Retrofit of Reinforced Concrete Columns

Pages : 387
Book Description
Reinforced concrete columns play a very important role in structural performance. As such, it is essential to apply a suitable analytical tool to estimate their structural behaviour considering all failure mechanisms such as axial, shear, and flexural failures. This book highlights the development of a fiber beam-column element accounting for shear effects and the effect of tension stiffening through reinforcement-to-concrete bond, along with the employment of suitable constitutive material laws.

Performance of Circular Reinforced Concrete Bridge Columns Under Bidirectional Earthquake Loading
Author: Mahmoud M. HachemPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Bridges, Concrete
Languages : en
Pages : 496
Book Description
Describes the dynamic testing of 4 circular reinforced concrete bridge columns. The specimens were divided into 2 pairs, with each pair subjected to a different ground motion. Within each pair, one specimen was subjected to one component of the ground motion, while the other was subjected to 2 components. Two analytical studies were carried out for a wide array of column heights, diameters, and axial load intensities. The columns were subjected to large suites of ground motions scaled to match on average the design response spectrum.
Earthquake Engineering for Structural Design
Author: W.F. ChenPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1420037145
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
Many important advances in designing earthquake-resistant structures have occurred over the last several years. Civil engineers need an authoritative source of information that reflects the issues that are unique to the field. Comprising chapters selected from the second edition of the best-selling Handbook of Structural Engineering, this book provides a tightly focused, economical guide to the theoretical, practical, and computational aspects of earthquake engineering. It discusses the fundamentals of earthquake engineering, the various types of earthquake damage to structures, seismic design of buildings and bridges, and performance-based seismic design and evaluation of building structures.
