The study used an experimental test to analyze the performance of Reduced Beam Section (RBS) on castellated beam column with exterior connection structure model subjected to cyclic load gradually until collapse. The study used two specimens, which were models with and without RBS. The experiment was aimed to evaluate the performance of castellated beam structure with and without RBS affected by the position of castellated beam opening and RBS position on the beam-to-column connection. The results show that the maximum drift ratios of the specimens without RBS (WRBSC) and RBSC-1 were 3.2% and 3.15%, respectively. Meanwhile, the respective ductility performance was 2.45 and 2.56 while the respective stiffness was 0.09 and 0.08.
Buckling Restrained Braces (BRB) in framed structures as Structural Fuses in ...IRJET Journal
This document provides a review of buckling restrained braces (BRBs) used as structural fuses in seismic regions. BRBs consist of a steel core laterally restrained by a buckling restrained mechanism, such as a steel tube filled with concrete. This prevents local and global buckling of the core. Experimental tests show BRBs exhibit stable hysteretic behavior with nearly ideal bilinear hysteresis loops during cyclic loading. BRBs are efficient at dissipating energy and enhancing structural performance during earthquakes by undergoing inelastic deformation as structural fuses. The document reviews several international studies that have validated the effectiveness of BRBs through experimental testing and analysis.
This document summarizes an experimental study on the behavior of interior beam-column joints in reinforced concrete frames wrapped with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP). Sixteen beam-column joint specimens were tested under cyclic loading, with variations in reinforcement detailing per Indian codes IS 456-2000 and IS 13920-1993, and use of FRP wrapping and fiber-reinforced concrete. The results showed that joints designed according to IS 13920-1993 had smaller cracks and higher load capacity than those per IS 456-2000. FRP wrapping and fiber-reinforced concrete improved joint ductility, increasing maximum deflection by up to 25% compared to unwrapped specimens. Specimens with two layers of FRP wrapping and 0.
This document summarizes an experimental study that investigated the flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with different types of reinforcing bars, including glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP), carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), and high-tensile steel (HTS) bars. Fifteen beams were tested under static load with variations in reinforcement type and concrete strength. The results were analyzed to compare failure modes, moment capacity, deflection, crack formation, and strains between the different beams. In general, the GFRP and CFRP beams exhibited higher deflections, wider cracking, and more brittle failures compared to the steel reinforced beams.

The document discusses a study on the effect of lateral confinement on the efficiency of historic reinforced concrete (RC) columns. Five RC columns were tested under axial load. The columns were divided into three groups: a control column without strengthening, two columns strengthened with basalt fiber for partial and total confinement, and two columns strengthened with carbon fiber for partial and total confinement. Test results showed that confining RC columns with different materials led to significant improvements in behavior, including increased ductility and strength. Columns confined with carbon fiber were found to be more effective at increasing load capacity compared to basalt fiber confinement. Overall, the study demonstrated that fiber confinement can enhance the performance of RC columns.

This document presents an experimental and analytical study comparing the structural behavior of composite concrete slabs with profiled steel decking. 18 full-scale slab specimens were tested under different shear span lengths to evaluate the longitudinal shear bond strength between the concrete and steel deck. The experimental results were compared to analytical calculations using the m-k method and partial shear connection method from Eurocode 4. The m-k method was found to provide a more conservative estimate of load-carrying capacity than the partial shear connection method, with generally good agreement between experimental and analytical values.
Modern strengthening strategies for steel moment resisting framesAlexander Decker
This document summarizes recent strengthening strategies for steel moment resisting frame connections. It discusses two main categories of strengthened connections: 1) Reinforced connections where a cover plate, haunch, or rib is added to strengthen the connection, and 2) Reduced beam section connections which locally weaken the beam away from the column. The document reviews studies on various reinforced connection details including haunched connections, welded/bolted cover and flange plates, proprietary side plates, and bolted bracket connections. Testing of these connection types found they improve seismic performance by distributing stresses away from the joint and increasing deformation capacity.
In this study, fourteen reinforced concrete beams were tested to investigate the shear behavior of lightweight fiber reinforced concrete beams. Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA) was used as a partial and full replacement to the normal weight aggregate. The experimental program included three lightweight concrete beams with partial replacement of aggregate, nine lightweight concrete beams with full replacement of aggregate, and two normal weight control beams. In each group one beam was cast using steel fiber concrete, one with polypropylene fiber concrete, and one without fibers. The effects of parameters such as weight of concrete, type of fibers, area of stirrups, and shear span to depth ratio (a/d) on the beams behavior are presented. The response of the tested beams is analyzed in terms of mode of failure, deflection, strain, cracking load, and ultimatecapacity. The test results are compared to those estimated from different design codes for lightweight concrete structures.

Seismic rehabilitation of beam column joint using gfrp sheets-2002Yara Mouna
The document summarizes a study that tested different rehabilitation techniques for improving the seismic performance of reinforced concrete beam-column joints. Three beam-column joints were tested: a control specimen and two specimens that were rehabilitated using glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) sheets. The control specimen failed in a brittle shear and bond failure mode, while the rehabilitated specimens exhibited a more ductile flexural failure of the beam. The rehabilitation techniques strengthened the joint shear capacity and prevented bond-slip failures of the beam reinforcement in the joint. A simple design methodology for the GFRP rehabilitation is proposed.
Study of Buckling Restrained Braces in Steel Frame BuildingIJERA Editor
Conventional braces have limited deformation ductility capacity, and exhibit unsymmetrical hysteretic cycles, with marked strength deterioration when loaded in compression. To overcome the above mentioned problems, a new type of brace was developed in Japan called as buckling restrained braces, designated as BRB’s. These braces are designed such that buckling is inhibited to occur, exhibiting adequate behavior and symmetrical hysteretic curves under the action of both tensile and compressive cycles, produced by the action of seismic and wind forces. This paper presents experimental results concerning the lateral load carrying capacity of steel frame model by use of buckling restrained brace. This paper also includes the comparative study of lateral load carrying capacity of frame model for bare frame, frame with Conventional brace and frame with buckling restrained brace.
Study of inter story drift demands of multi story frames with rbs connectionAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study that analyzed the effect of reduced beam section (RBS) connections on the inter-story drift of multi-story steel frames under earthquake loading. Nonlinear time history analyses were performed on frames with RBS connections and compared to frames with cover plate connections. The results found that while RBS connections reduce structural stiffness, leading to increased drift, they also move the plastic hinge formation away from the beam-column connection, improving ductility. Key parameters of the RBS connection design were modeled according to FEMA guidelines. Earthquake records were selected and scaled to a target response spectrum to perform dynamic analyses. Plastic hinge locations and behavior were also modeled based on the connection type. Analysis of the
This research devotes to conduct an investigation into the effects of lateral
reinforcement on the flexural behaviour of Straight Reinforced Concrete Beam
(SRCB). The amount of both longitudinal and lateral reinforcement, beam aspect ratio
(h/d) and shear span of concentrated load to depth ratio (a/d), are considered. The
experimental work includes casting and testing of fifteen SRCB of normal strength with
simple ends. The beams divided into three groups according to h/b ratio which taken
equal to (1.5, 2, and 2.5). The experimental results show that for SRCB with h/b equal
to 2 and under concentrated load at mid-span the ultimate load carrying capacity
increased by (30.8%, and 22.23%) when increasing the shear reinforcement by (50%,
and 100%) respectively. Also, the ultimate strength was increased by about 10.38%
and 16.53% with increment in shear reinforcement of 50%, and 100% respectively for
beams with h/b equal to 1.5 and under two-point load at third point. Finally, the results
appear not only increments in the capacity of ultimate load and decrement in the cracks
width when decreasing the shear reinforcement spacing but also the ductility of the
beams has increased observable.

This document summarizes an experimental study on using swimmer bars as shear reinforcement in reinforced concrete deep beams compared to vertical stirrups. Deep beams are defined as having a shear span to depth ratio of less than or equal to 2. Four different shear reinforcement patterns were tested: vertical stirrups (control), single swimmer bars, rectangular shaped swimmer bars, and rectangular shaped swimmer bars with cross bracings. Test results showed that beams with single swimmer bars had the highest failure load, increasing flexural strength by about 22% compared to the control beam. Beams with rectangular swimmer bars also increased strength but by a lesser amount. Crack patterns were diagonal shear cracks in all beams.
Study of Linear and Non Linear Behavior of In filled FrameIJERA Editor
Reinforced concrete frame buildings often incorporate masonry infill panels as partitions to separate spaces
within a building or as cladding to complete the building envelope. However, the properties and construction
details of infilled panels can have a significant influence on the overall behavior of a structure. An infilled frame
typically consists of a steel or reinforced concrete frame with plain or reinforced brick masonry, block-work
infilling which restraint against lateral loads is provided by the composite action of the infill and the frame. With
the advancement of computational technology and ever going increasing trend of research activities, the demand
for inelastic design is increasing day by day. Since the brick masonry wall possesses highly heterogeneous, nonlinear
studies are inevitable. In this work, a study of non-linear behavior of reinforced concrete infilled frame
with brick masonry are carried out under lateral and combined loads using ANSYS software.
Nonlinear fe modelling of anchorage bond in reinforced concreteeSAT Journals
Abstract The transfer of forces from the surrounding concrete to the reinforcing bars in reinforced concrete (RC) can be influenced by several parameters. In this paper an attempt has been made to study the influence of specimen geometry, bar diameter, strength of concrete, lateral confinement and embedment length on the bond properties of concrete. The embedment length of the bar was varied between 50mm and 400mm by varying the diameter of the bar, strength of concrete and lateral confinement. The different bar diameters of 16, 20 and 25mm were selected along with three different concrete strengths of 25, 40 and 65MPa. The specimens with the above parameters were modeled by using a nonlinear finite element analysis package. It has been found that for the same geometry, the specimens with small bond length exhibited high bond strength. With the range of bar diameters considered the bond strength of concrete decreases as the diameter of the bar increases. The splitting failure has been observed in unconfined concrete, while the pullout failure was predominant when the concrete laterally confined. In case of large embedment length, the post peak plateau is prolonged with small diameter bars when compared to the large diameter bars. The descending branch of the bond stress-slip response with large diameter bars has been found to be steep. Keywords: Bond Stress, FE Analysis, Embedment Length, Confinement, Bar Diameter, Pull-out Specimens.
This document reviews the behavior of reinforced concrete deep beams. Deep beams are defined as having a shear span to depth ratio of less than 5. The response of deep beams differs from regular beams due to the influence of shear deformations and stresses. Failure modes include flexure, flexural-shear, and diagonal cracking. Previous studies investigated factors affecting shear strength such as concrete strength, reinforcement, and loading conditions. Equations have been proposed to predict shear strength based on test results.
The document summarizes a study on retrofitting beam-column joints with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites under cyclic loading. It discusses how beam-column joints are vulnerable during earthquakes and describes traditional and CFRP retrofitting techniques. It outlines the objectives, methodology, modeling and analysis of retrofitted and non-retrofitted beam-column joints in ANSYS. The results show that the CFRP retrofitted joint had 27.7% less deflection and carried more load than the non-retrofitted joint. The conclusion is that CFRP improves joint confinement and capacity.
Shear and Flexural Behaviour of R.C.C. Beam With Circular Opening Strengthene...IJERA Editor
This paper explores the behavior of R.C.C. beam with circular opening strengthened by CFRP sheets. In this experimental work five beams were casted, one beam without opening (i.e. solid beam) and one with circular post opening and considered as control beams. The remaining three beams were externally strengthened by Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets with different strengthening schemes i.e. around the opening, inside the opening. These beams were simply supported and tested less than two points loading in the loading frame. The behaviors of such beams were studied in terms of load carrying capacity, load-deflection behavior and cracking patterns. From the test results it is concluded that the ultimate load carrying capacity of the R.C.C. beam strengthened with CFRP sheets increased in the range of 13.01% to 55.32%. Among all the strengthening schemes, the strengthening with CFRP around and inside the opening was found very effective in improving the ultimate load carrying capacity of beam.

Abstract An experimental and analytical investigation of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns is presented. composite circular steel tubes- with light weight concrete as infill for three different grades of light weight concrete say M20,M30 and M40 are tested for ultimate load capacity and axial shortening , under cyclic loading. steel tubes are compared for different lengths, cross sections and constant thickness. From this research study it is expected that ,regression models which were developed with minimum number of experiments based on taguchi’s method predicted the axial load carrying capacity very well and reasonably well at ultimate point. Cross sectional area of steel tube has most significant effect on ultimate load carrying capacity also it is observed that, as length of steel tube increased- load carrying capacity decreased.

SHEAR PERFORMANCE OF FIBER REINFORCED SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE DEEP BEAMSIAEME Publication
The self-compacting concrete (SCC) is the newest innovating category of high performance concrete. The shear behavior of Fiber Reinforced Self-Compacted Concrete (FRSCC) deep beams was investigated. The experimental program consisted of twelve simply supported beams tested up to failure under four-point load. The key parameters covered in this investigation were steel fibers ratios (0.0, 0.50, 0.75 & 1.00%) and the effective shear span to depth ratio; a/d that varied from 0.6 to 1.0. Also, the main flexure reinforcement ratio was variable (1.0, 1.60 and 2.20 percent). In addition, vertical and horizontal web reinforcement effect was investigated. The mid-span deflection, cracks, reinforcement and concrete strains of the tested beams were recorded and compared. Test results pointed out that the steel fibers enhanced the cracking load, ultimate capacity, displacement and energy absorption of the tested FRSCC deep beams.

Retrofitting of Beam-Column Joint using Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer and G...Satyam Vijay Bhosale
Retrofitting of an existing building is immensely essential for the deteriorated and damaged structure in Engineering and Medical fields. It refers to endowing the structure with a service level higher than that initially planned by modifying the structures, not necessarily damage area. Beam-column joints, being the lateral and vertical load transferring connections in reinforced concrete structures are particularly vulnerable to failures and hence the satisfactory performance of these joints is key to control the performance of connecting structural members during any event.
The project involves the study of the load carrying capacity of the beam-column joint after the application of the CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) and GFRP (Glass fibre Reinforced Polymer) sheets. Five beam-column joint models were cast out of which one model was the control specimen and others were cast for the purpose of the retrofitting. Four specimens were retrofitted by L-shape and straight configurations. The project focused on the effect of using the CFRP sheets and GFRP sheets for enhancing the strength and ductility of the beam-column joint. The wraps were provided to prevent the shear failure of the beam-column joint. The failure criteria including ultimate capacity, mode of failure, initial stiffness, ductility and developed ultimate strain in the reinforcing steel and respective sheet were considered and then compared.
A Study of Reduced Beam Section Profiles using Finite Element AnalysisIOSR Journals
Abstract: Reduced beam section (RBS) is one of the several connection types, which is economical and
popular for use in new steel moment frame structures in seismic zone. To form RBS connection, some portion of
the beam flanges at a short distance from column face is purposefully trimmed so that the yielding and plastic
hinge occurs within this area of flanges. Use of RBS connection is found advantageous due to: a) the shear
force in the panel zone is reduced; b) the force demand in column continuity plates i.e. stiffeners are reduced;
and c) strong-column – weak-beam requirement is satisfied. Although, radius cut RBS is qualified by
ANSI/AISC, FEMA codes, various flange cut shapes like constant, tapered, radius cut, drilled holes are possible
to reduce the cross sectional area of beam flanges. The purpose of this study is to understand behavior of RBS
beam-to-column moment connections for various flange cut geometries. This document represents nonlinear
finite element analysis of the connection models performed using the computer program, ANSYS/Multiphysics

This document reviews the behavior of reinforced concrete deep beams. Deep beams are defined as having a shear span to depth ratio of less than 5. The response of deep beams differs from regular beams due to the influence of shear deformations and stresses. Failure modes include flexure, flexural-shear, and diagonal cracking. Previous studies investigated factors affecting shear strength such as concrete strength, reinforcement, and loading conditions. Equations have been proposed to predict shear strength based on test results.
The document summarizes a study on retrofitting beam-column joints with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites under cyclic loading. It discusses how beam-column joints are vulnerable during earthquakes and describes traditional and CFRP retrofitting techniques. It outlines the objectives, methodology, modeling and analysis of retrofitted and non-retrofitted beam-column joints in ANSYS. The results show that the CFRP retrofitted joint had 27.7% less deflection and carried more load than the non-retrofitted joint. The conclusion is that CFRP improves joint confinement and capacity.
Shear and Flexural Behaviour of R.C.C. Beam With Circular Opening Strengthene...IJERA Editor
This paper explores the behavior of R.C.C. beam with circular opening strengthened by CFRP sheets. In this experimental work five beams were casted, one beam without opening (i.e. solid beam) and one with circular post opening and considered as control beams. The remaining three beams were externally strengthened by Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets with different strengthening schemes i.e. around the opening, inside the opening. These beams were simply supported and tested less than two points loading in the loading frame. The behaviors of such beams were studied in terms of load carrying capacity, load-deflection behavior and cracking patterns. From the test results it is concluded that the ultimate load carrying capacity of the R.C.C. beam strengthened with CFRP sheets increased in the range of 13.01% to 55.32%. Among all the strengthening schemes, the strengthening with CFRP around and inside the opening was found very effective in improving the ultimate load carrying capacity of beam.
Dynamic behavior of composite filled circular steel tubes with light weight c...eSAT Journals
Abstract An experimental and analytical investigation of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns is presented. composite circular steel tubes- with light weight concrete as infill for three different grades of light weight concrete say M20,M30 and M40 are tested for ultimate load capacity and axial shortening , under cyclic loading. steel tubes are compared for different lengths, cross sections and constant thickness. From this research study it is expected that ,regression models which were developed with minimum number of experiments based on taguchi’s method predicted the axial load carrying capacity very well and reasonably well at ultimate point. Cross sectional area of steel tube has most significant effect on ultimate load carrying capacity also it is observed that, as length of steel tube increased- load carrying capacity decreased.

Strengthening and rehabilitation of reinforced concrete beams withSubhajit Mondal
1. The document presents research on strengthening and rehabilitating reinforced concrete beams with openings using glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP).
2. Ten beams were tested - one solid beam, three beams with small, medium, and large openings, three strengthened beams where GFRP was applied to the openings, and three rehabilitated beams where GFRP was applied after initial cracking.
3. The effect of the openings and GFRP on load capacity, deflection, cracking, strain, and failure mode were analyzed. It was found that GFRP can effectively increase the load capacity of beams with small openings but not for large openings.
SHEAR PERFORMANCE OF FIBER REINFORCED SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE DEEP BEAMSIAEME Publication
The self-compacting concrete (SCC) is the newest innovating category of high performance concrete. The shear behavior of Fiber Reinforced Self-Compacted Concrete (FRSCC) deep beams was investigated. The experimental program consisted of twelve simply supported beams tested up to failure under four-point load. The key parameters covered in this investigation were steel fibers ratios (0.0, 0.50, 0.75 & 1.00%) and the effective shear span to depth ratio; a/d that varied from 0.6 to 1.0. Also, the main flexure reinforcement ratio was variable (1.0, 1.60 and 2.20 percent). In addition, vertical and horizontal web reinforcement effect was investigated. The mid-span deflection, cracks, reinforcement and concrete strains of the tested beams were recorded and compared. Test results pointed out that the steel fibers enhanced the cracking load, ultimate capacity, displacement and energy absorption of the tested FRSCC deep beams.

Retrofitting of Beam-Column Joint using Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer and G...Satyam Vijay Bhosale
Retrofitting of an existing building is immensely essential for the deteriorated and damaged structure in Engineering and Medical fields. It refers to endowing the structure with a service level higher than that initially planned by modifying the structures, not necessarily damage area. Beam-column joints, being the lateral and vertical load transferring connections in reinforced concrete structures are particularly vulnerable to failures and hence the satisfactory performance of these joints is key to control the performance of connecting structural members during any event.
The project involves the study of the load carrying capacity of the beam-column joint after the application of the CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) and GFRP (Glass fibre Reinforced Polymer) sheets. Five beam-column joint models were cast out of which one model was the control specimen and others were cast for the purpose of the retrofitting. Four specimens were retrofitted by L-shape and straight configurations. The project focused on the effect of using the CFRP sheets and GFRP sheets for enhancing the strength and ductility of the beam-column joint. The wraps were provided to prevent the shear failure of the beam-column joint. The failure criteria including ultimate capacity, mode of failure, initial stiffness, ductility and developed ultimate strain in the reinforcing steel and respective sheet were considered and then compared.
A Study of Reduced Beam Section Profiles using Finite Element AnalysisIOSR Journals
Abstract: Reduced beam section (RBS) is one of the several connection types, which is economical and
popular for use in new steel moment frame structures in seismic zone. To form RBS connection, some portion of
the beam flanges at a short distance from column face is purposefully trimmed so that the yielding and plastic
hinge occurs within this area of flanges. Use of RBS connection is found advantageous due to: a) the shear
force in the panel zone is reduced; b) the force demand in column continuity plates i.e. stiffeners are reduced;
and c) strong-column – weak-beam requirement is satisfied. Although, radius cut RBS is qualified by
ANSI/AISC, FEMA codes, various flange cut shapes like constant, tapered, radius cut, drilled holes are possible
to reduce the cross sectional area of beam flanges. The purpose of this study is to understand behavior of RBS
beam-to-column moment connections for various flange cut geometries. This document represents nonlinear
finite element analysis of the connection models performed using the computer program, ANSYS/Multiphysics

This document analyzes the behavior of reinforced concrete deep beams with and without steel shear plates through analytical modeling and finite element analysis. It discusses the importance of steel shear plates in increasing the load capacity and structural efficiency of deep beams. The study models and analyzes deep beams under different end conditions (fixed-fixed, hinged-hinged, fixed-hinged) and compares the displacement, moments, and shear forces between models with and without steel shear plates. The results show that the inclusion of steel shear plates reduces displacement, moments, and shear forces in the deep beams, indicating improved structural performance.
IRJET- Behaviour of Castellated Beam with Coupled StiffenerIRJET Journal
1) The document discusses a study on the behavior of castellated beams with coupled stiffeners. A steel I-section beam is selected and analyzed using finite element analysis software.
2) Experimental testing is conducted on beams with two-point loading. The deflection at the beam center and various failure patterns are examined. The goal is to determine if load capacity increases or decreases with an optimized stiffener placed within hexagonal openings.
3) Previous research has looked at shear buckling behavior of web-posts, parametric studies of connections with circular openings, and using topology optimization to design perforated sections. Stiffeners are commonly used to strengthen plates and increase shear and moment resistance.
This document summarizes a study that used finite element analysis to analyze the behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars. A 3D model was created in ANSYS of simple concrete beams reinforced with BFRP bars. The model was validated by comparing results to experimental data, showing good agreement. A parametric study was then performed using the validated model to analyze effects of BFRP reinforcement ratio on ultimate load capacity, deflection, concrete stresses, and bar forces. Results indicated strengthening with BFRP bars can increase ultimate load and ductility while decreasing deflection compared to steel reinforcement.
Influence of tensile behaviour of slab on the structural Behaviour of shear c...IJERD Editor
-A composite beam is composed of a steel beam and a slab connected by means of shear connectors
like studs installed on the top flange of the steel beam to form a structure behaving monolithically. This study
analyzes the effects of the tensile behavior of the slab on the structural behavior of the shear connection like slip
stiffness and maximum shear force in composite beams subjected to hogging moment. The results show that the
shear studs located in the crack-concentration zones due to large hogging moments sustain significantly smaller
shear force and slip stiffness than the other zones. Moreover, the reduction of the slip stiffness in the shear
connection appears also to be closely related to the change in the tensile strain of rebar according to the increase
of the load. Further experimental and analytical studies shall be conducted considering variables such as the
reinforcement ratio and the arrangement of shear connectors to achieve efficient design of the shear connection
in composite beams subjected to hogging moment.

- Results show the ultimate lateral load capacity of SPSW increases linearly with increasing plate thickness for RB models. The initial stiffness also increases linearly with plate thickness. Frame member stiffness does not significantly impact capacity until tearing of the plate occurs.
Minimum shear reinforcement for optimum ductility of reinforced concrete beamseSAT Journals
Abstract Failures in reinforced concrete (RC) structures under transverse shear forces are proved to be catastrophic with the presence of web reinforcement. The minimum web reinforcement recommended by several codes of practice has been intended to maintain adequate strength and deflection ductility after the formation of diagonal cracking and to contain widening of the diagonal cracking. However, the expressions for estimating the minimum shear reinforcement in the codes of practice are based on the experimental data base observed on testing of small size beams made of normal strength concrete (NSC). Such code provisions need to be reinvestigated on large size beams made of high strength concrete (HSC). Further, there has been lack of consensus on the quantity of minimum shear reinforcement to be provided by different codes of practice, as they differ significantly in respect of HSC members. In this paper, many factors influencing the minimum shear reinforcement required in RC beams have been studied. An expression has been proposed incorporating a wide range of parameters. A comparison of the minimum shear reinforcement predicted by the proposed expression has been made with the codes of practice. The influence of shear reinforcement on the ductility of RC beams of varying sizes has been investigated. The optimum shear reinforcement index has been found to be somewhere between 0.45 and 0.5. Ductility of RC beams increases with increasing the shear reinforcement index. Small size beams exhibited significant ductility for the given shear reinforcement index. Keywords: Minimum shear reinforcement, reserve strength, ductility, RC beams, HSC
This document summarizes a study on minimum shear reinforcement for reinforced concrete beams. The study investigated factors that influence the minimum shear reinforcement required, including concrete strength, beam size, shear span-to-depth ratio, and longitudinal reinforcement ratio. An expression was proposed for minimum shear reinforcement that incorporates these parameters. The proposed expression was compared to code provisions. Results showed that minimum shear reinforcement increases with increasing concrete strength, shear span-to-depth ratio, and decreasing longitudinal reinforcement ratio. Shear reinforcement was also found to improve beam ductility.
Construction of modern buildings requires many pipes and ducts in order to accommodate essential services such as air conditioning, electricity, telephone, and computer network. Web openings in concrete beams enable the installation of these services. A number of studies have been conducted with regards to reinforced concrete beams which contain web openings. The present paper aims to compile this state of the art work on the type of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams with transverse web openings. Various design approaches and strengthening techniques are also presented.
But recently due to use of high grade of concrete and better quality control in the RCC structures, confinements in the joints as per the new provision of codes leading us to the problem of the congestion. It has been observed at many construction sites that this congestion leads to poor workmanship at the joints, which actually making the joint more vulnerable than previous. Researcher has been working on this area to counter act by Increasing the size of the joints, Using the steel fiber in the joints, Using GRFP to wrap the joints, Prestressing the beam including the joint, Using of the crossed rebar at the joint cores. Due to prestressing of joint through the beam has not been so effective and economical, the present paper come up with the direct way of prestessing the joints. This paper tries to combine the benefits of the crossed rebar and prestressing in the joints together.

Effect of Moment Capacity Ratio at Beam-Column Joint of RC Framed building: A...IRJET Journal
This document reviews research on the effect of moment capacity ratio (MCR) at beam-column joints in reinforced concrete framed buildings. It summarizes several studies that investigated how increasing the MCR, defined as the ratio of column moment capacity to beam moment capacity, improves structural performance during seismic events. A higher MCR promotes a strong-column weak-beam design that increases ductility and lateral strength while reducing structural damage and failure probability. Most codes recommend a minimum MCR of 1.0-2.0, but the ideal ratio may vary based on building design, geometry, and seismic zone. Nonlinear analysis shows higher MCR generally enhances displacement capacity and reduces fragility, helping structures better withstand earthquake forces.

Five joint sub assemblages were tested under reverse cyclic loading applied atthe beam end. Beam column joints are critical regions for frames designed for inelastic response tosevere seismic attack. The overall structural safety, especially for joints is due to lack of ductility.Different parameter of joint using ANSYS modelling was studied and experimentally verified theresults. All these details are presented.
The purpose of the experimental work presented in this study is to study the effect
of concrete compressive strength and steel reinforcement ratio on capacity and
deflection of reinforced concrete two-way slabs. Three steel reinforcement ratios are
considered which are minimum, maximum and average of them in addition to two
concrete compressive strength
values of 20 and 30 MPa. The results from
experimental work show that increasing the reinforcing steel ratio leads to increase the
ultimate capacity of the slab in addition to decrease the maximum deflection. For slabs
with
= 20 MPa, increasing the reinforcing steel ratio from the minimum to the
maximum, i.e. 600 %, leads to increase ultimate capacity by about 156 % and decrease
maximum deflection by about 52 %. Wheras, For slabs with
= 30 MPa, increasing
the reinforcing steel ratio from the minimum to the maximum, i.e. 900 %, leads to
increase ultimate capacity by about 155 % and decrease maximum central deflection

Journal of Engineering Science and Technology September 2018, Vol. 13(9)
1.Introduction
Seismic design for steel moment frame is aimed to make structure elastic during
small to medium seismic events. In large earthquakes, the structure must be strong
and secure from collapse. In the 1994 Northridge earthquake, fractures occurred on
the connections, which some of them often started at the bottom flange weld and
spread to the column flange and the beam web [1]. Miller [2] reported that the crack
model on the Northridge Earthquake began at the point of intersection between the
weld access hole and the beam bottom flange. Nakashima et al. [3] in the 1995
Kobe Earthquake, described that many fractures were found in beam-to-column
welded connections. The fractures were caused by metal welding, heat-affected
zones, base metals, and diaphragm plates. Most of the fractures were situated on
the lower beam flanges.
Chen et al. [4] explain that a single lengthened rib can be used as a fortification
to prevent damage to the beam groove weld. The rib extension reduces the pressure
concentration, prevents fractures across the beam flange at the rib end and generates
the desired plastic hinge at the beam section at a distance from the column face.
The results show that the single lengthened rib show a reliable ductility to maintain
the desired inelastic deformation with no brittle fracture, and it generates 3%
radians of plastic rotation.
Jones et al. [5] and Zekioglu et al. [6] tested three connections, comprised of a
Reduced Beam Section (RBS) with two triangular rib plates welded to each beam
flange. These studies develop high beam plastic rotation capacities with
considerable flexural strength. They found identical results at the three connections,
where a failure occurred on the reduced beam section. The triangular rib plates help
reduce stresses of groove welds between the beam and column flanges, with no
failure observe in the triangular rib plates.
Tonapa et al. [7] conducted a study with the variation of opening angle and
distance with 0.6 H opening height subjected to monotonic loading. Profile of solid
steel fabricated to a castellated beam was IWF 200 100 5.5 8. The results show that
the best opening angle and length were of hexagonal opening were 600
and e = 9
cm, respectively.
Plumier [8] originally introduced and tested the idea of a Reduced Beam Section
(RBS). The RBS is also known as the ‘dog bone’ connection. Iwankiw [9] and Chen
et al. [10] proposed and tested two primary types of RBS, which are tapered flange
and the linear segment.
The objective of the RBS is to reduce the beam stiffness, which consequently
reinforces the connection to mitigate damage and fracture in the welded joint
between the beam and column flanges. The analysis of the experimental results [11]
has confirmed the behaviour and performance of beam-to-column connection with
RBS. In RBS connection, parts of the beam flange are trimmed at a specified
distance from the face of the column to develop plastic hinge at the desired area.
The RBS connection is very strategic in plastic mechanism in the desired area of
the beam.
Uang et al. [12] explained that the tested specimens with RBS had failures on
the RBS area with no failure occurred on beam-to-column welded connection. The
study also reported a 3% radian plastic rotation on the beam with RBS [12].
3. 2872 N. H. Aswad et al.
Journal of Engineering Science and Technology September 2018, Vol. 13(9)
Trimming the flange delays the local buckling, but it increases the possibility of
web buckling and lateral-torsional buckling due to the decreased flange stiffness.
In a theoretical model developed with a finite element model, when the results were
compared with the obtained results of an experimental study, the specimen without
RBS displayed fracture originated from bottom flange weld. Meanwhile, the RBS
specimen had no damage on welding connections with the rotation capacity of 0.02
radian [13].
The joint should have adequate strength and stiffener to resist the internal force
induced by the framing members and external force like earthquake and wind
loading [14].
Sindhi et al. [15] compared the behaviour of buildings with RBS and
conventional buildings and found that there were 23% deflection increase and the
drift ratio improvement on the upper level of the buildings. Many experimental
studies and literature reviews of castellated beam and RBS have been conducted.
Chambers et al. [16] state that the RBS connection had decreased strength
compared to the connection without RBS due to the trimming of the flange, in a
study of exterior connection of beam-column joint subjected to cyclic loads.
Sungkono [17] meanwhile explains that beam with RBS experienced failure
caused by bending on the beam. In the study, the top of the beam had a maximum
tensile while the bottom of the beam had compressive stress. Moreover, the shear
stress on the beam web was larger than on the beam flange. Meanwhile, our
study analyzed the comparison between castellated beam joints with and without
RBS connection. The engineering design process was done to consider, detail
and assess the steel frame construction by moving the plastic joint area of the
beam away from the column face, either by locally reinforcing the beam joint to
the column or by reducing the beam stress to the joint to reduce the stress in the
beam area at a specific distance from the column face.
RBS technique on castellated beam has an ability to created plastic moment
far from the face without significance of strength loss. Maximum load and
maximum displacement were not significant for RBS and without RBS [11].
2.Reduced Beam Section (RBS)
Reduced Beam Section (RBS) is a modification of the beam cross-section by
trimming the flange at a specified distance from the column face. The reduction
was made in a way that all melting and plastic joint occurred in the RBS. Moreover,
the trimmed area also could reduce the moment on the column and control the
inelastic deformation of the column. The RBS design is regulated in AISC 358-16
standards [18]. According to AISC 358-16 subchapter 5.8, the procedure of
designing RBS is as follows.

3.Method
3.1.Experimental Testing
The study aimed to analyse the performance of a structure by making the model of
the exterior castellated beam with RBS connection and formulating the placement
of the plastic hinge on the beam using the Reduced Beam Section (RBS) method
based on the strong column-weak beam principle. The model was tested
experimentally to obtain the formulation of castellated beam distance to RBS from
the column face. The specimens were investigated by analysing the strength and
structure of ductility in earthquake resistance.
The study used RBS of the castellated beam to obtain the result of the
experimental test or simulation on the exterior structure and beam-column joints.
Manual analysis of the strength of the design was done on the RBS column beam
model to analyze the strength and drift ratio of the cyclic lateral load. The identified
parameters were strength, stiffness, ductility, and drift ratio. The tensile test
material used is BJ 37 as shown in Table 1.
Two tested beams in this study were the castellated steel beam without RBS
(WRBSC) and the castellated steel beam with RBS model 1 (RBSC-1), with the
specified dimension, is displayed in Fig. 2. Meanwhile, detail of the tested beam
dimension is described in Table 2. The testing was designed with a strong column
assumption according to seismic regulations as the requirement of designing
earthquake-resistant structures [18].

applying a cyclic load. In the tests, lateral support near the actuator was provided
to prevent lateral deformation of the beam and damage of the actuator. The global

The study to obtain records of a structure experiencing a force due to cyclic
loading to reach the melting or plastic limit was done in four stages; namely, the tested
structure design was modelled by the exterior column beam with cyclic load, the test
results of the structure was read using an accelerometer and recorded into the
computer. The cyclic loading was applied gradually with a hydraulic jack and load
cell according to the value of displacement at the first melting point (Δy). The
displacement (melting point) was determined for each cycle in 0.25Δy, 0.5Δy, 0.75Δy,
Δy, 2Δy, 3Δy and so on until the load termination in case of decreased load value from
the previous peak (collapse) [19]. The history of the load cycle is displayed in Fig. 4.

In our study, all tested beams experienced failure due to bending on the beam
caused by the first melt on the beam flange. Table 3 shows the obtained
maximum load. In our study, the detail of the failure on the beams explained the
effect and cause of failure classified by each tested beam. The results show that
the maximum loads of the WRBSC and RBSC-1 were 12.5 kN and 12.05 kN,
respectively. This means that the WRBS beam had 4% more strength to withstand
larger load compared to the RBS beam.
The experimental results show that failure occurred on the column face due to
the pure bending of the beam, no failure occurred on beam-to-column connection,
and the ductility of the castellated beam structure reached 4.1 on cyclic load [20].
Performance of tested beams is shown in Table 3. The partial ductility (load
capacity) of RBSC-1 was higher than WRBSC, with the respective number reached
87.5% to 87%.
As can be seen in Table 3, the average ductility of the beam with RBS was 10%
higher than the conventional beam without RBS. On the contrary, the stiffness of
RBS beam was 1% lower than WRBSC. Figure 5 illustrates the strength of peak
lateral load occurred in ratio drift on both tested beams.
As shown in Fig. 5, the maximum melting point occurred at 12 kN positive load
(push). Figure 5 also displays the backbone of the relation between load and
displacement and the maximum load on displacement. Figures 6 and 7 show the
hysteresis curve of beams subjected to the cyclic load. In Figs. 6 and 7, the lateral
load capacity increased as the lateral displacement rose. The difference between
positive and negative maximum loads was possible due to the different movement
of load cell pads to each side that affected the lateral deflection of the beam.
Figures 8 and 9 show the damage in the flange of beams without RBS and with
RBS, respectively. As can be seen in Fig. 8, in the beam without RBS, there was
no stress concentrated on the column face. Meanwhile, Fig. 9 displays that the
damage was concentrated in the RBS area.

5.Conclusions
Some concluding observations from the investigation are given below.
The results show that the hysteresis curve had a higher magnitude on the
negative force than the positive. The strength ratio of the cyclic load in both
directions on WRBSC and RBSC-1 were 87% and 87.5%, respectively.
The drift ratio of maximum lateral load capacity on WRBSC, RBSC-1 reached
3.2 % drift ration on 12.5 kN load and 3.15 % on 12 kN load. The bending
failure occurred first on the positive drift than the negative.
The ductility performance of RBSC was higher than WRBSC. However, the
stiffness of RBSC was lower than WRBSC.
