This research project is the second part of a research program carried out by Itagawa (2005) who studied the seismic response of a half-scale model of an existing Montreal bridge built in the 1960's. This project studies the seismic behaviour of the retrofit carried out on the frame structure studied in the first part of the research program. The retrofit was made following the requirements of the current Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC). The philosophy of the CHBDC is to provide flexural yielding in the ductile elements so that brittle failure modes such as shear are prevented. This capacity-design approach resulted in a ductile response and significant energy dissipation of the retrofitted structure.The retrofit was designed in accordance with the CHBDC provisions. The cap beam and the beam-column joint regions were strengthened with a reinforced concrete sleeve containing additional transverse and longitudinal bars so that plastic hinging would form in the columns. This retrofit represents minimum intervention to improve the response of the frame. The retrofit frame was then subjected to both gravity loads and reversed cyclic loading to simulate seismic loading on the structure. The predictions of the response of the retrofitted frame provided reasonable estimates of first yielding in the column and the general yielding of the frame. Although the columns would not meet the requirements for ductile columns, they had sufficient shear strength and did exhibit a displacement ductility of about 2.3.

The stress-strain relationship of concrete in flexure is one of the essential parameters in assessing the flexural strength and ductility of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. An overview of previous research studies revealed that the presence of strain gradient would affect the maximum concrete stress and respective strain developed in flexure. Previously, researchers have conducted experimental studies to investigate and quantify the strain gradient effect on maximum concrete stress and respective strain by developing two strain-gradient-dependent factors k3 and ko for modifying the flexural concrete stress-strain curve.
In this study, the author established a new analytical concrete constitutive model to describe the stress-strain behavior of both normal-and high-strength concrete in flexure with the effect of strain gradient considered. Based on this, comprehensive parametric studies have been conducted to investigate the combined effects of strain gradient and concrete strength on flexural strength and ductility design of RC beams and columns with concrete strength up to 100 MP a by employing the strain-gradient-dependent concrete stress-strain curve using non-linear moment-curvature analysis.
From the results of the parametric studies, it is evident that both the flexural strength and ductility of RC beams and columns are improved under strain gradient effect. A design value of ultimate concrete strain of 0.0032and anew equivalent rectangular concrete stress block incorporating the combined effects of strain gradient and concrete strength have been proposed and validated by comparing the proposed theoretical strength with the strength of 198 RC beams and 275 RC columns measured experimentally by other researchers. It is apparent from the comparison that the proposed equations can predict more accurately the flexural strength of RC beams and columns than the current RC design codes.
Lastly, for practical engineering design purpose, design formulas and charts have been produced for flexural strength and ductility design of RC beams and columns incorporating the combined effects of strain gradient and concrete strength.published_or_final_version

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
The design of reinforced concrete beams involves the selection of design parameters such as beam
dimensions and reinforcement details which result in a safe and economical section. This process
of design consists of three stages: preliminary design, structural analysis, and detailed design which
includes the selection of dimensions, reinforcement, and stirrups. The design process is an iterative
one where considerable judgement and experience are required. This is an ideal situation for
the application of expert system technology.
A knowledge based expert system called BEAMDES was developed for the flexure design of reinforced
concrete beams in accordance with ACI 318-83 specifications. The expert system was developed
using the micro-computer based expert system shell, Insight 2+. BEAMDES can be used
to design both rectangular and tee sections. The beams can be simply supported, cantilevered, or
continuous.
The results obtained from BEAMDES were tested against several example problems for both
supported and continuous beams. It was found that the designs recommended by the system were
similar to those of the examples.Master of Science

A fully automated computer program is developed for the optimum design of steel space trusses acting compositely with a concrete slab placed on top. The program sizes the truss members to meet the requirements of the load and resistance factor design specification of the American Institute of Steel Construction using the load combinations of ANSI. Earthquake loading is not considered. The optimum size is based on minimum cost, regarding the amount of welding required at the joints and of the member itself. The total cost is based on all steel work in the truss. Once the truss configuration has been defined, and it has been ensured that linear elastic behavior exists, the structure is analyzed for the construction process, to make sure that no overstressing will take place in any structural element at any time during construction and service. The analysis and design principles are presented and an actual design case is solved. (Abstract shortened with permission of author.)

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
A confined masonry (CM) wall consists of a masonry wall panel surrounded by reinforced concrete (RC) members on its perimeters. Low-rise CM structures are widely used in earthquake-risked (EQ-risked) rural or suburban areas all over the world. Most of these structures fail in shear pattern under lateral EQ loads, and some of them collapse under a severe or even a moderate EQ due to inappropriate design. On the other hand, buildings constructed of RC frames have much better performance in resisting EQs, since their RC members have larger dimensions and heavier reinforcing ratios than those in CM structures. Nonetheless, RC-frame buildings are normally too expensive for most inhabitants in less developed regions.
In this study, as an improvement to the conventional CM buildings for EQ resistance and for the sake of post-EQ restoration, a hybrid masonry – RC (HMR) structure, whose working mechanism is different from that of a conventional CM structure, is proposed. The RC members (i.e. “tie beams” and “tie columns”), which function only as confinement in a CM building, will resist most of gravity load and part of lateral EQ load in an HMR structure, while the wall panels will take most of lateral EQ load and part of gravity load. This is achievable by slightly increasing the sizes and reinforcing ratios of RC members in HMR structures. Such buildings will not collapse in the absence of masonry wall panels because the gravity load bearing system is still intact. On the other hand, as the wall panels in the proposed HMR structure will absorb most of the energy induced by lateral EQ load, severe damages will be controlled within the wall panel region, so that only the wall panels need to be replaced instead of rebuilding the whole structure after the EQ event.
To investigate the mechanical behaviours of masonry assemblages to be used in HMR structures, a series of experimental tests were conducted. Having established the relevant material properties for HMR structures, finite element (FE) simulation was performed to verify its work mechanism.
Prior to applying the FE simulation to HMR structures, the FE technique was first applied to simulate the behaviours of two concrete-brick masonry panels under diagonal compression loading and a CM wall under cyclic lateral loading. The results show a good correlation between the experimental results and the simulated ones. This has validated the feasibility of using the FE software to study the proposed HMR structure.
The theoretical simulation results show that in a properly designed HMR wall, depending on the masonry reinforcing details and the boundary conditions of simulated load cases, about 70% of the gravity load imposed on the RC beam will be transferred to the RC columns and more than 80% of the seismic energy (in terms of strain energy) will be absorbed by the masonry panel. Therefore, it is obvious that the proposed HMR structure is very feasible to replace the conventional CM structure in resisting EQ attacks with no risk of collapse.published_or_final_version

Thesis (MScEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.Durability and impermeability in a water-retaining structure are of prime importance if the structure is to fulfill its function over its design life. In addition, serviceability cracking tends to govern the design of water retaining structures. This research concentrates on load-induced cracking specifically that due to pure bending and to direct tension in South African reinforced concrete water retaining structures (WRS). As a South African design code for WRS does not exist at present, South African designers tend to use the British codes in the design of reinforced concrete water-retaining structures. However, with the release of the Eurocodes, the British codes have been withdrawn, creating the need for a South African code of practice for water-retaining structures. In updating the South African structural design codes, there is a move towards adopting the Eurocodes so that the South African design codes are compatible with their Eurocode counterparts. The Eurocode crack model to EN1992 (2004) was examined and compared to the corresponding British standard, BS8007 (1989). A reliability study was undertaken as the performance of the EN1992 crack model applied to South African conditions is not known. The issues of the influence of the crack width limit and model uncertainty were identified as being of importance in the reliability crack model.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) material has been a good solution for many problems in many fields. FRP is available in different types (carbon and glass) and shapes (sheets, rods, and laminates). Civil engineers have used this material to overcome the weakness of concrete members that may have been caused by substandard design or due to changes in the load distribution or to correct the weakness of concrete structures over time specially those subjected to hostile weather conditions. The attachment of FRP material to concrete surfaces to promote the function of the concrete members within the frame system is called Externally Bonded Fiber Reinforced Polymer Systems. Another common way to use the FRP is called Near Surface Mounted (NSM) whereby the material is inserted into the concrete members through grooves within the concrete cover. Concrete beam-column joints designed and constructed before 1970s were characterized by weak column-strong beam. Lack of transverse reinforcement within the joint reign, hence lack of ductility in the joints, and weak concrete could be one of the main reasons that many concrete buildings failed during earthquakes around the world. A technique was used in the present work to compensate for the lack of transverse reinforcement in the beam-column joint by using the carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets as an Externally Bonded Fiber Reinforced Polymer System in order to retrofit the joint region, and to transfer the failure to the concrete beams. Six specimens in one third scale were designed, constructed, and tested. The proposed retrofitting technique proved to be very effective in improving the behavior of non-ductile beam-column joints, and to change the final mode of failure. The comparison between beam-column joints before and after retrofitting is presented in this study as exhibited by load versus deflection, load versus CFRP strain, energy dissipation, and ductility.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Box-girder bridges supported by single reinforced concrete (RC) columns are expected to sustain seismic shocks with minor structural damages in seismically active regions where transportation is substantially required for rescuing and evacuating tasks. Such viaducts are vulnerable to damage when they are subjected to strong ground motions and acceleration pulse records, especially when responding in a flexural mode or having relatively low core confinement. Using a nonlinear dynamic solver that applies the fibre element method, global and local damage curves are computed based on the dissipated energy under hysteretic curves and based on constitutive curves, respectively. The RC bridge with seismic isolation bearing is used as an alternative system to control the damage, and modelled using linkage elements between the substructure and super structure. It was found that seismic isolation can be controlled to dissipate partial seismic energy so that the RC column gains the least possible minor damage. Using a MatLab program, a fibre element nonlinear model was built using a simplified iterative process and simplified constitutive relations. The number of fibres and elements under the dynamic loading was found to be affecting the final results of the analysis. Using crack growth modelling based on fracture mechanics, the combined discrete element/finite element explicit-Elfen code was applied to investigate the crack growth in 3D dynamically loaded RC columns. Despite its excessive computational cost and time, this code provides reliable information about local damage in the RC column core. Earthquake records with the pulse acceleration phenomenon have a severe damage potential on the structure. The difference in damage intensities was detected by crack growth modelling for the same problem using different loading rates. Critically stressed zones can be investigated independently by using the relative response technique, in which responses from the numerically analysed structure are re-used as applied loads onto a small-scale crack model for the critical member. Two general conclusions can be obtained; bridges with single RC columns designed by the demand/capacity criterion could suffer severe damage and possible collapse when subjected to strong ground motions. Secondly; hysteresis-based methods provide a global damage evaluation based on strength and ductility only regardless of the damage growth inside the concrete core and the buckling of bars, which could lead to progressive collapse.

Plastic shrinkage cracks, although not inherently structurally debilitating, expose the reinforcement in low-volume reinforced concrete roads to deleterious substances, which may reduce its effectiveness leading ultimately to structural failure. In un-reinforced low-volume concrete road these cracks appear unsightly and cause the road user an unpleasant riding experience. Many researchers believe that plastic shrinkage crack development remains a concern to the concrete industry, occurring in particularly large–area pours such as low-volume concrete roads, and therefore requires further research to understand their formation and minimization. This study reports findings on the effectiveness of oxyfluorinated polypropylene fibres to control plastic shrinkage cracks, and the effect the addition of ultra-fine material has on the formation and/or propagation of these cracks. Findings indicate that low volume dosages (2 kg/m³), of oxyfluorinated polypropylene fibre significantly reduced the formation of plastic shrinkage cracks under test conditions. Furthermore, that the addition of ultra-fine material in excess of 63 kg/m³ increased the formation and/or development of plastic shrinkage cracks.

Thesis (MEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Certain regions within the Western Cape Province are at risk of a moderate intensity earthquake. It is therefore crucial that infrastructure in these areas be designed to resist its devastating effect. Numerous types of structural buildings exist in these seismic prone areas. The most common types are either reinforced concrete framed buildings with masonry infill or unreinforced masonry buildings. Many of these buildings predate the existence of the first loading code of 1989 which provided regulations for seismic design. The previous code was superseded in 2010 with a code dedicated to providing guidelines for seismic design of infrastructure. A concern was raised whether these buildings meet the requirements of the new code. A numerical investigation was performed on a representative reinforced concrete framed building with masonry infill to determine whether the building meets the new code’s requirements. The results from the investigation show that the stresses at critical points in the columns exceed the codified requirements, thus leading to local failure. After careful review it was discovered that these local failures in the columns will most likely lead to global failure of the building.

Dit is dus noodsaaklik dat die infrastruktuur in hierdie gebiede ontwerp word om die vernietigende uitwerking te weerstaan. Gebous met verskillende tipes strukturele uitlegte kom in hierdie gebied voor. Die mees algemene struktuur tipe is gewapende beton-raam geboue met baksteen invol panele sowel as ongewapende baksteen geboue. Baie van hierdie geboue is gebou voor die eerste las-kode van 1989 wat regulasies vir seismiese ontwerp voorsien in gebruik geneem is. Die vorige kode is vervang in 2010 met ’n kode toegewy tot die verskaffing van riglyne vir seismiese ontwerp van infrastruktuur. Kommer het ontstaan of hierdie geboue voldoen aan die vereistes van die nuwe kode. ’n Numeriese ondersoek is uitgevoer op ’n verteenwoordigende gewapende beton geraamde gebou met baksteen panele om te bepaal of die gebou voldoen aan die nuwe kode vereistes rakende sismiese ontwerp. Die resultate van die ondersoek toon dat die spanning op kritieke punte in die kolomme die gekodifiseerde vereistes oorskry, wat tot plaaslike faling lei. Na verdere onderssoek is dit bepaal dat die plaaslike faling in die kolomme waarskynlik tot globale faling van die gebou sal lei.

Thesis (MScEng)-- Stellenbosch University, 2013.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Concrete is used in most of the modern day infrastructure. It is a building material for which there exist various design codes and guidelines for its use and construction. It is strong in compression, but lacks tensile strength in its fresh and hardened states and, when unreinforced, fails in a brittle manner. The structural use of synthetic fibres in concrete is investigated in this study to determine its effect on enhancing the mechanical properties of concrete. Slabs on grade are used as the application for which the concrete is tested. The material behaviour is investigated in parallel with two floor design theories. These are the Westegaard theory and the Yield-Line theory. The Westegaard theory uses elastic theory to calculate floor thicknesses while the Yield-Line theory includes plastic behaviour. Conceptual designs are performed with the two theories and material parameters are determined from flexural tests conducted on synthetic fibre reinforced concrete (SynFRC) specimens. Large scale slab tests are performed to verify design values from the two theories. Higher loads till first-crack were measured during tests with concrete slabs reinforced with polypropylene fibres than for unreinforced concrete. It is found that the use of synthetic fibres in concrete increases the post-crack ductility of the material. The Westegaard theory is conservative in its design approach by over-estimating design thicknesses. This was concluded as unreinforced slabs reached higher failure loads than predicted by this theory. The Yield-Line theory predicts design thicknesses more accurately while still accounting for the requirements set by the ultimate- and serviceability limit states. By using SynFRC in combination with the Yield-Line theory as design method, thinner floor slabs can be obtained than with the Westegaard theory.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Beton word gebruik as boumateriaal in meeste hedendaagse infrastruktuur. Daar bestaan verskeie ontwerp kodes en riglyne vir die gebruik en oprig van beton strukture. Alhoewel beton sterk in kompressie is, het beton ‘n swak treksterkte in beide die vars- en harde fases en faal dit in ‘n bros manier indien onbewapen. Die gebruik van sintetiese vesels in beton word in hierdie projek ondersoek om die invloed daarvan op die eienskappe van die meganiesegedrag van beton te bepaal. Grond geondersteunde vloere word as toepassing gebruik. Parallel met die materiaalgedrag wat ondersoek word, word twee ontwerpsteorieë ook ondersoek. Dit is die teorie van Westegaard en die Swig-Lyn teorie. Die teorie van Westegaard gebruik elastiese teorie in ontwerpsberekeninge terwyl die Swig-Lyn teorie ‘n plastiese analise gebruik. ‘n Konseptuele vloerontwerp is gedoen deur beide die ontwerpsmetodes te gebruik. Materiaalparameters is bepaal deur buig-toetse uit te voer op sintetiesevesel-bewapende beton. Grootskaalse betonblaaie is gegiet en getoets om die akkuraatheid van die twee metodes te verifieer. Die betonblaaie wat bewapen was met polipropileen vesels het groter laste gedra tot by faling as die blaaie wat nie bewapen was nie. Die vesels verbeter die gedrag van beton in die plastiese gebied van materiaalgedrag deurdat laste ondersteun word nadat die beton alreeds gekraak het. Die Westegaard teorie kan as konserwatief beskou word deurdat dit vloerdiktes oorskat. Hierdie stelling is gegrond op eksperimentele data wat bewys dat onbewapende betonblaaie groter laste kan dra as wat voorspel word deur die Westegaard teorie. Die Swig-Lyn teorie voorspel ontwerpsdiktes meer akkuraat terwyl daar steeds aan die vereistes van swigting en diensbaarheid voldoen word.

This thesis illustrates parameter optimization of compressive strength, flexural
strength and impact resistance of steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete
(SFRHSC) by statistical design and analysis of experiments. Among several
factors affecting the compressive strength, flexural strength and impact
resistance of SFRHSC, five parameters that maximize all of the responses have
been chosen as the most important ones as age of testing, binder type, binder
amount, curing type and steel fiber volume fraction. Taguchi and regression
analysis techniques have been used to evaluate L27(313) Taguchi�
s orthogonal array and 3421 full factorial experimental design results. Signal to noise ratio transformation and ANOVA have been applied to the results of experiments in Taguchi analysis. Response surface methodology has been employed to optimize the best regression model selected for all the three responses. In this study Charpy Impact Test, which is a different kind of impact test, have been applied to SFRHSC for the first time. The mean of compressive strength, flexural strength and impact resistance have been observed as around 125 MPa, 14.5 MPa and 9.5 kgf.m respectively which are very close to the desired values. Moreover, this study is unique in the sense that the derived models enable the identification of underlying primary factors and their interactions that influence the modeled responses of steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete.

Insulated concrete forms (ICFs) are green building components that are primarily used for residential wall construction. Unlike most polystyrene based ICF variants, the Faswall ICFs used in these experiments were significantly denser because they were made from recycled wood particles and cement. The current design approach for structures constructed with this type of wall form only allows the designer to consider the contribution of the reinforced concrete cores. Previous research has shown that this approach may be conservative. This project experimentally evaluated the lateral structural response of these types of grid ICF walls under increasing amplitude of in-plane cyclic loading. Two different height-to-length (aspect) ratios (approximately 2:1 and 1:1) were investigated, as was the effect of simultaneous gravity load. Furthermore, the reinforced concrete grid was exposed for each aspect ratio in order to examine the contribution of the ICF blocks to the lateral response. Analyses of hysteretic behaviors and failure modes indicated conservatism in the current design approach for estimating lateral strength and ignoring the beneficial contribution of the ICF blocks to overall performance. The presence of the wall forms increased the lateral shear capacity of the walls by an average of 42% (compared to the walls with forms removed), while also increasing the deformation capacity by an average of 102%. Furthermore, by considering an additional gravity load of 10 kips-per-lineal-foot (klf), the shear resistance of the walls increased by 32% (versus walls only subjected to self-weight), on average, and the deformation capacity of the walls increased by an average of 19%. Comparisons of the experimental results to several design equations led to the recommendation of a design equation that was previously accepted for another type of ICF system.

Following a major earthquake event, essential public amenities such as medical facilities and
transport networks need to remain functional - not only to fulfil their ongoing role in serving
the community but also to cope with the added and immediate demand of a population
affected by a natural disaster. Furthermore, the economic implications of wide spread damage
to housing and commercial facilities should not be discounted. A shift in design approach is
required that is consistent with current trends towards performance based building design. The
present aim is to achieve seismic energy dissipation during the earthquake event, without the
aftermath of damage to structural elements, whilst maintaining design economies.
Structures permitted to rock on their foundations and provide recoverable rotations at the
beam-column interfaces offer significant advantages over those using conventional ductile
detailing. A jointed construction philosophy can be applied whereby structural elements are
connected with unbonded prestressing tendons. Supplemental damping is provided by
replaceable flexural steel components designed to deform inelastically. For this research a
multi-storey test building of one quarter scale has been constructed and tested on an
earthquake simulator at the University of Canterbury. A computer model has been developed
and a set ofpreliminary design procedures proposed.

This research investigated the behavior of nonseismically detailed reinforced concrete exterior beam-column joints subjected to bidirectional lateral cyclic loading using nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA).
Beam-column joints constitute a critical component in the load path of reinforced concrete buildings due to their fundamental role in integrating the overall structural system. Earthquake reconnaissance reports reveal that failure of joints has contributed to partial or complete collapse of reinforced concrete buildings designed without consideration for large lateral loads, resulting in significant economic impact and loss of life. Such infrastructure exists throughout seismically active regions worldwide, and the large-scale risk associated with such deficiencies is not fully known. Computational strategies provide a useful complement to the existing experimental literature on joint behavior and are needed to more fully characterize the failure processes in seismically deficient beam-column joints subjected to realistic failure conditions. Prior to this study, vulnerable reinforced concrete corner beam-column joints including the slab had not been analyzed using nonlinear finite element analysis and compared with experimental results.
The first part of this research focused on identification and validation of a constitutive modeling strategy capable of simulating the behaviors known to dominate failure of beam-column joints under cyclic lateral load using NLFEA. This prototype model was formulated by combining a rotating smeared crack concrete constitutive model with a reinforcing bar plasticity model and nonlinear bond-slip formulation. This model was systematically validated against experimental data, and parametric studies were conducted to determine the sensitivity of the response to various material properties. The prototype model was then used to simulate the cyclic response of four seismically deficient beam-column joints which had been previously evaluated experimentally. The simulated joints included: a one-way exterior joint, a two-way beam-column exterior corner joint, and a series of two-way beam-column-slab exterior corner joints with varying degrees of seismic vulnerability. The two-way corner joint specimens were evaluated under simultaneous cyclic bidirectional lateral and cyclic column axial loading. For each specimen, the ability of the prototype model to capture the strength, stiffness degradation, energy dissipation, joint shear strength, and progressive failure mechanisms (e.g. cracking) was demonstrated.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Multi-level concrete buildings requrre substantial temporary formwork
structures to support the slabs during construction. The primary function of
this formwork is to safely disperse the applied loads so that the slab being
constructed, or the portion of the permanent structure already constructed, is
not overloaded. Multi-level formwork is a procedure in which a limited
number of formwork and shoring sets are cycled up the building as
construction progresses. In this process, each new slab is supported by a
number of lower level slabs. The new slab load is, essentially, distributed to
these supporting slabs in direct proportion to their relative stiffness.
When a slab is post-tensioned using draped tendons, slab lift occurs as a
portion of the slab self-weight is balanced. The formwork and shores
supporting that slab are unloaded by an amount equivalent to the load
balanced by the post-tensioning. This produces a load distribution inherently
different from that of a conventionally reinforced slab.
Through , theoretical modelling and extensive on-site shore load
measurement, this research examines the effects of post-tensioning on multilevel
formwork load distribution. The research demonstrates that the load
distribution process for post-tensioned slabs allows for improvements to
current construction practice. These enhancements include a shortening of
the construction period; an improvement in the safety of multi-level
form work operations; and a reduction in the quantity of form work materials
required for a project.
These enhancements are achieved through the general improvement in
safety offered by post-tensioning during the various formwork operations.
The research demonstrates that there is generally a significant improvement
in the factors of safety over those for conventionally reinforced slabs. This
improvement in the factor of safety occurs at all stages of the multi-level
formwork operation. The general improvement in the factors of safety with
post-tensioned slabs allows for a shortening of the slab construction cycle
time. Further, the low level of load redistribution that occurs during the
stripping operations makes post-tensioned slabs ideally suited to reshoring
procedures. Provided the overall number of interconnected levels remains
unaltered, it is possible to increase the number of reshored levels while
reducing the number of undisturbed shoring levels without altering the
factors of safety, thereby, reducing the overall quantity of formwork and
shoring materials.

Thesis (MScEng (Civil Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Reinforced concrete structures, designed according to proper capacity design guidelines, can deform inelastically without loss of strength. Therefore, such structures need not be designed for full elastic seismic demand, but could be designed for a reduced demand. In codified design procedures this reduced demand is obtained by dividing the full elastic seismic demand by a code-defined behaviour factor. There is however not any consensus in the international community regarding the appropriate value to be assigned to the behaviour factor. This is evident in the wide range of behaviour factor values specified by international design codes. The purpose of this study is to assess the seismic drift of reinforced concrete structural walls in order to evaluate the current value of the behaviour factor prescribed by SANS 10160-4 (2009). This is done by comparing displacement demand to displacement capacity for a series of structural walls. Displacement demand is calculated according to equivalency principles (equal displacement principle and equal energy principle) and verified by means of a series of inelastic time history analyses (ITHA). In the application of the equivalency rules the fundamental periods of the structural walls were based on cracked sectional stiffness from moment-curvature analyses. Displacement capacity is defined by seismic design codes in terms of inter storey drift limits, with the purpose of preventing non-structural damage in building structures. In this study both the displacement demand and displacement capacity were converted to ductility to enable comparison. The first step in seismic force-based design is the estimation of the fundamental period of the structure. The influence of this first crucial step is investigated in this study by considering two period estimation methods. Firstly, the fundamental period may be calculated from an equation provided by the design code which depends on the height of the building. This equation is known to overestimate acceleration demand, and underestimate displacement demand. The second period estimation method involves an iterative procedure where the stiffness of the structure is based on the cracked sectional stiffness obtained from moment-curvature analysis. This method provides a more realistic estimate of the fundamental period of structures, but due to its iterative nature it is not often applied in design practice. It was found that, regardless of the design method, the current behaviour factor value prescribed in SANS 10160-4 (2010) is adequate to ensure that inter storey drift of structural walls would not exceed code-defined drift limits. Negligible difference between the equivalency principles and ITHA was observed.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Gewapende beton strukture wat ontwerp is volgens goeie kapasiteitsontwerp-riglyne kan plasties vervorm sonder verlies aan sterkte. Gevolglik hoef hierdie strukture nie vir die volle elastiese seismiese aanvraag ontwerp te word nie, maar kan vir 'n verminderde aanvraag ontwerp word. In gekodifiseerde ontwerpriglyne word so 'n verminderde aanvraag verkry deur die volle elastiese aanvraag te deel deur 'n kode-gedefinieerde gedragsfaktor. Wat egter duidelik blyk uit die wye reeks van gedragsfaktor waardes in internasionale ontwerp kodes, is dat daar geen konsensus bestaan in die internasionale gemeenskap met betrekking tot die geskikte waarde van die gedragsfaktor nie. Die doel van hierdie studie is om seismiese verplasing van gewapende beton skuifmure te evalueer ten einde die waarde van die gedragsfaktor wat tans deur SANS 10160-4 (2009) voorgeskryf word te assesseer. Dit word gedoen deur verplasingsaanvraag te vergelyk met verplasingskapasiteit. In hierdie studie word verplasingsaanvraag bereken deur middel van gelykheidsbeginsels (gelyke verplasingsbeginsel en gelyke energiebeginsel) en bevestig deur middel van nie-elastiese tydsgeskiedenis analises (NTGA). Die effek van versagting as gevolg van nie-elastiese gedrag word in aanmerking geneem in die toepassing van die gelykheidsbeginsels. Verplasingskapasiteit word deur seismiese ontwerpkodes gedefinieer deur perke te stel op die relatiewe laterale beweging tussen verdiepings, met die doel om nie-strukturele skade te verhoed. Om verplasingsaanvraag en -kapasiteit te vergelyk in hierdie studie, word beide omgeskakel na verplasingsduktiliteit. Die eerste stap in kraggebaseerde seismiese ontwerp is om die fundamentele periode te beraam. Die invloed van hierdie eerste kritiese stap word in hierdie studie aangespreek deur twee periodeberamingsmetodes te ondersoek. Eerstens kan die fundamentele periode bereken word deur 'n vergelyking wat 'n funksie is van die hoogte van die gebou. Dit is egter algemeen bekend dat hierdie vergelyking versnellingsaanvraag oorskat en verplasingsaanvraag onderskat. Die tweede metode behels 'n iteratiewe prosedure waar die styfheid van die struktuur gebaseer word op die gekraakte snit eienskappe, verkry vanaf 'n moment-krommingsanalise. 'n Beter beraming van die fundamentele periode word verkry deur hierdie metode, maar as gevolg van die iteratiewe aard van die metode word dit selde toegepas in ontwerppraktyk. Die resultate van hierdie studie toon dat die huidige waarde van die gedragfaktor soos voorgeskryf in SANS 10160-4 (2010) geskik is om te verseker dat die relatiewe laterale beweging tussen verdiepings binne kode-gedefinieerde perke sal bly. Onbeduidende verskil is waargeneem tussen die resultate van gelykheidsbeginsels en NTGA.

Das gemeinsame Abschlusskolloquium der beiden Sonderforschungsbereiche nach dem Ende der Förderung durch die DFG ist das sechste in dieser Reihe und wurde vom Dresdner SFB 528, allerdings diesmal zentral gelegen in Berlin, organisiert. Die Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler der beiden Sonderforschungsbereiche stellten ihre aktuellen Ergebnisse vor, wobei diese von Nachwuchswissenschaftlern aus den einzelnen Teilprojekten präsentiert wurden. Ergänzt wurde das Programm durch Vorträge renommierter internationaler Gastredner auf den Gebieten der Fasern und Textilien.For more than a decade, the collaborative research centres 528 and 532 of the Deutsche For-schungsgemeinschaft (DFG) have worked on the application of textile fabrics in civil engi-neering. The RWTH Aachen (CRC 532) first and foremost dealt with the innovative composite “textile reinforced concrete” with the aim of developing thin-walled concrete components with a heavy-load capacity. The TU Dresden (SFB 528) concentrated on re-search into the strengthening and restoration of reinforced concrete load-bearing structures or timber components to provide an economically and technically attractive alternative for the current challenges in civil engineering. The sixth colloquium on textile reinforced structures (CTRS 6) is part of a series of colloquia which has been alternately organized by the collaborative research centre 528 (Dresden) and 532 (Aachen).After the DFG’s grant had come to an end, the joint sixth and final colloquium of both collaborative research centres, which was this time organized by the CRC 528 from Dresden, took place in Berlin due to its more central location. The scientists from both col-laborative research centres presented their current results which were explained by young scientists from the individual subprojects. The programme was complemented by presenta-tions by renowned international guest lecturers from the field of fibres and textiles.

This research evaluated the feasibility of the empirical design method for reinforced concrete bridge decks for the Florida Department of Transportation [FDOT]. There are currently three methods used for deck design: empirical method, traditional method and finite element method. This research investigated and compared the steel reinforcement ratios and the stress developed in the reinforcing steel for the three different methods of deck design. This study included analysis of 15 bridge models that met the FDOT standards. The main beams were designed and load rated using commercial software to obtain live load deflections. The bridges were checked to verify that they met the empirical method conditions based on the FDOT Structures Design Guidelines – January 2009. The reinforced concrete decks were designed using the traditional design method. Then the bridges were analyzed using three-dimensional linear finite element models with moving live loads. The reinforced concrete decks were designed using dead load moment, live load moment, and future wearing surface moment obtained from the finite element models. The required reinforcing steel ratio obtained from the finite element method was compared to the required reinforcing steel ratio obtained from traditional design method and the empirical design method. Based on the type of beams, deck thicknesses, method of analysis, and other assumptions used in this study, in most cases the required reinforcing steel obtained from the finite element design is closer to that obtained from the empirical design method than that obtained from the traditional design method. It is recommended that the reinforcing steel ratio obtained from the empirical design method be used with increased deck thicknesses to control cracking in the bridge decks interior bays.
