Abstract:

This paper reviews the development of deflection calculation procedures and comments on the risk of computational errors. It then discusses practical considerations affecting deflection and their limitations. It assesses the effect of nine parameters on the variability of deflection by reference to two example beams. Finally, the paper recommends further laboratory and analytical research and makes suggestions on how design engineers may improve the accuracy of their deflection computations.

Abstract:

A formulation is presented for extending structural system design concepts from safety and serviceability to damage tolerability. The assumptions necessary to implement damage tolerability concepts in structural system design are explained using both deterministic and probabilistic approaches. A particular emphasis is placed upon redundancy measures and their use in system damage-tolerant optimum design. Examples of solutions for optimum system design for safety, serviceability, and damage tolerability are presented.

Abstract:

The introduction of limit state design into the UK code for structural concrete in the 1960s is reviewed. The objections and controversies aroused are described. A selection of probability studies carried out in the interim is discussed and a possible way forward is outlined.

Abstract:

The behavior of laterally loaded flat-plate structures is strongly influenced by the nonlinear deformations at the plate-to-column connections. In this paper, a simple procedure is described for predicting the nonlinear moment-rotation behavior of flat-plate-to-column connections. That behavior is expressed by standardized moment-rotation functions. These functions were derived using a modified Rambert-Osgood function and all available experimental data. The influence of the most significant connection parameters such as the steel ratio, concrete strength, gravity loading, etc., on the connection behavior is incorporated into the functions. A physical model of the column region is described which facilitates the incorporation of the functions into a structural analysis computer program. The accuracy of the functions has been demonstrated for several plate-column connections. The computer analysis program is also described and an example is considered to compare results obtained from the program with those published in the literature.

Abstract:

Studies are limited on the early age performance of high-strength cold weather concretes and their shear strength interaction in cold weather. This paper presents shear transfer strength characteristics between regular high-strength concrete and (i) methyl methacrylate-based polymer concrete and (ii) magnesium phosphate based concrete in subfreezing temperatures. Analytical expressions were developed based on shear transfer hypothesis and verified by experimental results. The experimental study included tests on cylinders and L-shaped push off specimens to determine the early age shear interlock and shear frictional resistance between high-strength regular portland cement concrete and cold weather high-strength concretes as is experienced in rehabilitation of bridge decks and other infrastructure systems. Studies indicated that at early age of 24 hours, shear transfer strength of 1400 psi can be obtained with the use of appropriate material and shear reinforcement. The study also indicated the ACI 318-89 code limits on the shear-friction strength are too conservative even at early ages for high-strength cold weather concretes.
