3 Research Background Mechanisms leading to the collapse of existing, pre-seismic code RC frames are NOT well documented. Shake table tests are currently being conducted at PEER-UCB to observe & identify the failure components & load redistribution processes in RC bridge columns & in RC building frames under seismic & gravity loading. Identifying mechanisms causing shear failure in RC columns can be used to develop performance-based seismic design - strengthen future & existing structures against earthquake loading Column shear failure & its effect on the degradation of axial capacity in a pre-seismic code RC column is the focus of this project.

4 PERSONAL: Project Objectives To independently conduct research & gain extensive laboratory experience in the field of structural earthquake engineering Opportunity to work with researchers on cutting-edge research and learn about ongoing studies in seismic design and retrofitting Opportunity to learn and apply theories of seismic design & analysis to RC columns under seismic and gravity loads RESEARCH: Identify lateral & axial deformation components leading to RC column failure Compute flexural, shear and axial capacity models of RC column Design experimental setup allowing bidirectional loading of RC column for specific loading requirements & under budget Fabricate RC column specimens based on design specs Analyze the effect of bidirectional loading on the shear and axial failure of RC column and compare to predictive capacity models

10 RC Column Material & Geometry (cont.)

11 Capacity Models of RC Column Specimen: Axial Capacity Axial Capacity of undamaged RC column: P N = 0.85*f C *(A g A SL ) + f YL* A SL..where f C concrete compressive strength, A g is the gross concrete area, A SL is the longitudinal reinforcement area, f YL is yield strength of longitudinal steel P N = 0.85*(3ksi)*[36in in 2 ] + (70ksi)*(0.884in 2 ) P N = kips

12 Capacity Models of RC Column Specimen: Flexural Capacity h ε cu =.003 ε s2 ε s3 N.A..85f C a T S2 T S3 C C T S3 T S2 ε S1 = T S1 T S1 M N C C T S3 ΣM h/2 = Failure (Z=-1) P N T S2 -T S3 *[(h/2)-d S3 ] - C C *[(h/2)-(a/2)] + M N -T S1 *[d S1 -(h/2)] T S1 M N = T S3 *[(h/2)-d S3 ] + C C *[(h/2)-(a/2)] + T S1 *[d S1 -(h/2)]..so, M N =153.3 kip-in

13 Capacity Models of RC Column Specimen: Shear Capacity Total shear capacity of an RC column depends on the shear capacity of the concrete, V C and the shear capacity carried by the transverse reinforcement, V ST in the column V N = (V C + V ST ) = 2*[1+(P/2000*Ag)]* f C *b W *d + [(4*A ST *f YT *d)/s]..where A ST is the transverse reinforcement area, f YT is yield strength of transverse reinforcement, d is distance from compression fiber to farthest tensile reinforcement, s is transverse reinforcement spacing, b W is the width of column x-section, P is axial load V N = 2*[1+(10,000lb/(2000*35.12in 2 ))]* (3000psi)*(6in)(5.145in) + ( in 2 )(70,000psi)(5.145in) V N = kips

14 Interaction Diagram of RC Column Specimen The flexural and axial capacity model for RC columns is used to derive an interaction diagram which relates the axial load column capacity with its moment capacity at any given time Maximum Axial Load Zero stress in tensile reinforcement, Z=0 (nom inal) Axial Load Capacity, Pn (kips) Balanced Failure, Z= -1 COMPRESSION TENSION -40 (nominal) Moment Capacity, Mn (kip-in)

15 Moment-Curvature Response of Shear-Critical RC Column under Axial & Lateral (Shear) Loading The flexural and axial capacity model for RC columns is used to derive an interaction diagram which relates the axial load column capacity with its moment capacity at any given time 160 M Y =V Y *l Moment, M (kip-in) E-22 1.E-04 3.E-04 4.E-04 5.E-04 7.E-04 8.E-04 9.E-04 1.E-03 1.E-03 1.E-03 1.E-03 2.E-03 2.E-03 2.E-03 2.E-03 2.E-03 2.E-03 2.E-03 3.E-03 3.E-03 3.E-03 3.E-03 3.E-03 3.E-03 3.E-03 3.E-03 4.E-03 4.E-03 Curvature, θ (1/in)

16 Deformation Components: Lateral Deflection Flexure M M FL = [(39in) 2 /6]*(7.6*10-4 in -1 ) = in

17 Flexure Deformation Components: Lateral Deflection

18 Deformation Components: Lateral Deflection Bar (Bond) Slip M M SL = [(39in)(0.375in)(70,000psi)(7.6*10-4 in -1 )] / [8*6* 3000psi] = in

19 Deformation Components: Shear Lateral Deflection V V SH = [2(113,000lb-in)] / (1.53*10 6 )(29.26in 2 ) = in.

20 Deformation Components: Shear Lateral Deflection

21 Lateral Yield Deformation of RC column: Lateral yield deformation (prior to shear failure) of longitudinal reinforcement in RC column results from 3 components acting in series: Flexure, Bar (Bond) Slip, Shear ( LAT ) Y = Y = ( FL + SL + SH ) ( LAT ) Y = Y = ( in) + ( in) + ( in) = in. Flexural displacement, FL Slip displacement, SL Shear displacement, SH Yield displacement, Y in in in in

22 Deformation Components: Shear Axial Failure! After yielding of longitudinal reinforcement, column sustains gravity and lateral (shear) loads until shear demand on column exceeds ultimate??? shear capacity of column (V>V U ) shear failure occurs! After shear failure occurs in column, gravity loads are supported by shear-friction forces along shear failure plane ( LAT ) AX occurs θ Shear Failure Plane

23 Deformation Components: Shear Axial Failure (cont.) θ Shear Failure Plane

24 Deformation Components: Shear Axial Failure (cont.) Residual Axial Capacity (after shear failure) of damaged RC column: P N = tanθ*[(a ST *f YT *d C )/s]*[(1+µtanθ)/(tanθ-µ)]..where f YT is yield strength of transverse reinforcement, d C is distance b/w extreme longitudinal reinforcement., s is transverse reinforcement spacing, θ is critical crack angle, µ is effective friction coefficient, A ST is transverse reinforcement area P N = [tan65( in2)(70ksi)(4.5417in) / (4in)]*[(1+(8.28kip/10kip)*tan65) / (tan65-(8.28kip/10kip))] = 4.4 kips!when gravity loads exceed shear-friction forces, axial failure occurs in column (column loses ALL shear capacity) total collapse of structure

25 Deformation Components: Shear Axial Failure (cont.) Axial Failure of Column Total Collapse of Column

26 Damage Progression in Column Drift Capacity Model Progression of damage in a shear-critical RC column can be quantified using an empirical drift capacity model based on the column s lateral displacement (i.e. drift ) Drift Ratio at Yielding of Longitudinal Reinforcement ( /L) Y = Drift Ratio at Shear Failure ( /L) SH = Drift Ratio at Axial Failure L ( /L) AX = L

27 Damage Progression in Column EPP Backbone Model Elastic-Perfectly-Plastic (EPP) backbone model approximates the shear load vs. lateral displacement behavior of shear-critical RC columns via. a shear-failure surface EPP backbone model utilizes the calculated column drift ratios at yielding, shear & axial failure, as well as the yield moment derived from the column moment-curvature response to generate the column s shear failure surface under lateral and gravity loading
