Assessment of seismic drift of structural walls designed according to SANS 10160 - Part 4Le Roux, Rudolf Cornelis 12 1900 (has links)
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.

Nonlinear finite element analysis of reinforced concrete exterior beam-column joints with nonseismic detailingDeaton, James B. 11 January 2013 (has links)
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.

Estudo de composição para concreto extrudável para pré fabricadosQuevedo, Valéria Ramos Baltazar 23 July 2013 (has links)
Capes / Bem estabelecido e amplamente utilizado nas indústrias de polímeros e cerâmicas, o processo de extrusão vem sendo também explorado pela indústria de concreto. Embora a indústria de pré fabricados estruturais de concreto utilize superplastificantes, ainda não existem ensaios específicos para caracterizar o comportamento no estado fresco de concretos utilizados para extrusão. Foi observado que, mesmo em empresas de grande porte, a avaliação consiste no ensaio de abatimento em tronco de cone e na experiência intuitiva de um funcionário ao manipular o concreto com uma pá manual. No entanto o lançamento do concreto nos moldes é realizado por máquinas extrusoras que possuem maior força e constância na aplicação. Assim, a extrudabilidade do concreto é baseada no ensaio de “slump test” e na avaliação pessoal do operador, sendo confirmado num lote piloto no próprio processo industrial. Este trabalho teve como base o processo de fabricação de telhas extrudadas autoportantes. Visando simular algumas condições do processo de produção, foi realizada uma adaptação do ensaio da caixa-L, no qual foi inserido um vibrador de mangote no reservatório da caixa. O ensaio consistiu em avaliar o comportamento do concreto ao ser inserido no reservatório da caixa-L e logo após a abertura da comporta, com e sem vibração prévia do concreto no reservatório, para assim melhor definir um procedimento de ensaio. Para uma análise reológica foi proposta a realização de ensaio de squeeze-flow, realizado com argamassa e concreto da dosagem de concreto para extrusão. Foram utilizadas as mesmas configurações do ensaio utilizado para a argamassa: máquina de ensaio do tipo universal, célula de carga de 2000 N, prato superior e amostra, ambos com 10 cm de diâmetro, deformação livre, e com o diâmetro do punção igual ao diâmetro da amostra. Ensaios para adaptação da altura da amostra (5 cm) foram realizados de modo a evitar que ao invés de se deformar por cisalhamento ocorresse a compressão simples da brita. Foi realizada caracterização das matérias primas e testes de compactação, que determinaram a melhor proporção entre a areia fina natural, areia artificial e brita nas seguintes proporções: 25%: 25%: 50% e 0%: 50%: 50%, em massa. Para cada uma destas proporções, foram determinadas composições para o concreto com valores de “m” variando de 4,0, 4,5 e 5,0, que reduzem a quantidade de cimento em até 16%. Utilizou- se aditivo superplastificante de 3a geração à base de Policarboxilato. Para definir os teores de aditivo, foi realizado ensaio de slump test, referência na indústria para escolha de composição, definindo assim as 16 composições para estudo. A realização do ensaio possibilitou criar uma metodologia para verificar o comportamento do concreto sobre vibração, fornecendo informações tais como: aparência, coesão, tixotropia e o perfil do fluxo. Isso pode permitir realizar ajustes reais de trabalhabilidade do concreto com base nas características do processo de produção e perfil da peça extrudada. A análise reológica verificou que as condições de fluxo sofridas pela argamassa não são mantidas para o concreto, principalmente quanto à coesão e aderência. Outros fatores também foram observados, como a segregação, exsudação e comportamento ao longo do tempo. Os resultados mostram que ocorrem diferenças significativas, sendo que algumas características apresentadas na argamassa não se reproduzem no concreto. Ensaios de resistência mecânica à compressão mostraram que todas as composições atendem ao valor mínimo previsto em norma e quanto à trabalhabilidade observou-se que as composições somente com areia artificial apresentaram falta de coesão, perceptível no ensaio de slump test. Definiu-se o ensaio de caixa-L adaptado com vibração prévia como melhor procedimento de ensaio. Os resultados mostraram que mesmo composições com abatimento nulo, que seriam descartadas pela indústria, apresentaram trabalhabilidade e fluíram com vibração, sendo que os teores de aditivo influenciaram no perfil e no tempo do escoamento. / A well established and widely used in the industries of ceramics and polymers, the extrusion process has been also explored by the concrete industry. Although the industry of prefabricated structural concrete using superplasticizers, there are still no specific tests to characterize the behavior in the fresh concrete used for extrusion. Although the industry prefabricated concrete structural use superplasticizers, there're not no specific tests to characterize the behavior of the fresh concrete used for extrusion. It was observed that, even in large companies, the evaluation consists of the slump test in truncated cone and the intuitive experience of an employee to handle the concrete with a shovel manual. However the concrete cast in molds is done by extruding machines that have greater strength and consistency in application. Thus extrudability of concrete is based on the testing of "slump test" and the personal evaluation of the operator, being confirmed in a pilot batch in industrial process itself. This work was based on the manufacturing process of extruded tiles freestanding. Aiming to simulate some of the conditions of the production process, there was an adaptation of the test box-L, which was inserted in the reservoir hose vibrator housing. The test consisted in assessing the behavior of the concrete to be inserted into the reservoir from the L-box and immediately after opening the gate, with and without prior vibration of concrete in the tank, so as to better define a test procedure. For a rheological analysis was proposed to carry out squeeze flow test conducted with concrete mortar and concrete strength for extrusion. We used the same settings as used for the test mortar testing machine universal type, load cell 2000 N, and sample top plate, both 10 cm in diameter, free deformation, and the punch diameter equal to the diameter sample. Assays for adjusting the height of the sample (5 cm) were made in order to avoid that instead of being deformed by the compressive shear occur in the gravel. Was performed characterization of raw materials and compression testing which determined the best ratio between the fine sand natural,
artificial sand and gravel in the following proportions: 25%: 25%: 50% to 0%: 50%: 50% by mass. For each of these ratios were determined for concrete compositions with values of "m" ranging from 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0, which reduces the amount of cement up to 16%. We used superplasticizer 3rd generation based Polycarboxylate. To set the content of admixture slump test was performed test, the industry benchmark for the choice of composition, thereby setting the 16 estudo.Para compositions for each of these ratios were determined for concrete compositions with values of "m" varying from 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0, which reduces the amount of cement up to 16%. We used superplasticizer 3rd generation based Polycarboxylate. The main test possible to create a methodology to assess the behavior of concrete on vibration, providing information such as: appearance, cohesion, thixotropy and flow profile. This can make adjustments allow real concrete workability based on the characteristics of the production process and extruded profile part. The rheological analysis verified that the flow conditions experienced by the cement is not retained in the concrete, especially in regard to cohesion and adhesion. Other factors were also observed, such as segregation, exudation and behavior over time. The results show that significant differences occur, and some features disclosed in the mortar on the concrete not reproduced. Testing of mechanical strength showed that all compositions meet the minimum standards set out in and about the workability was observed that the compositions only with artificial sand showed a lack of cohesion noticeable slump test. Set up the test L-box pre adapted as best vibration test procedure. The results showed that even compositions with zero rebate which would be discarded by the industry had flowed workability and vibration, and the admixture levels and influence the time profile of the flow.

Developing and Testing of Strain-Hardening Cement-Based Composites (SHCC) in the Context of 3D-PrintingOgura, Hiroki, Nerella, Venkatesh Naidu, Mechtcherine, Viktor 25 February 2019 (has links)
Incorporating reinforcement into the practice of digital concrete construction, often called 3D-concrete-printing, is a prerequisite for wide-ranging, structural applications of this new technology. Strain-Hardening Cement-based Composites (SHCC) offer one possible solution to this challenge. In this work, printable SHCC were developed and tested. The composites could be extruded through a nozzle of a 3D-printer so that continuous filaments could be deposited, one upon the other, to build lab-scaled wall specimens without noticeable deformation of the bottom layers. The specimens extracted from the printed walls exhibited multiple fine cracks and pronounced strain-hardening characteristics under uniaxial tensile loading, even for fiber volume fractions as low as 1.0%. In fact, the strain-hardening characteristics of printed specimens were superior to those of mold-cast SHCC specimens.

On the shear behavior of mineral-bonded composites under impact loadingTawfik, Ahmed, Mechtcherine, Viktor 09 November 2022 (has links)
A mechanical testing device was developed for testing the behavior of mineral-bonded composites under impact shear loading. The device is based on the well-known double shear specimen configuration and was designed to be used in a gravity split-Hopkinson tension bar (SHTB), enabling shear testing at high loading rates. In this work, results from impact shear testing performed on a normal cementitious matrix (NSM) and strain-hardening cement-based composites (SHCC) tested by means of the new device are presented and discussed. Failure behavior and fracture modes are analyzed using optical measurements and digital image correlation (DIC).
