    ABSTRACT

    A new stress-strain formulation for confined concrete under cyclic loading is proposed. This law can beused in numerical simulations to describe the stress-strain relationship for fibers or layers within the sections ofreinforced concrete elements.

    In order to eliminate the problem of scale effect, a finite element model was generated and the simulatedand experimental results of tests on the prototype reinforced concrete column models subjected to cyclic loadingwere compared. In this way, the proposed stress-strain law for confined concrete under cyclic loading wasaccordingly modified and then validated.

    Key words: Non-linear, behavior, stress-strain law, confined concrete, monotonic, cyclic, loading.

    1. INTRODUCTION

    Several models have been proposed to determine the law governing the behavior of compressive concreteconfined within rectangular or spiral stirrup ties.

    Among these models, the models of Kent and Park (1), Vallenas et al. (2), and Sheikh and Uzumeri (3)have been used for the calculation of the theoretical flexural resistance of columns. The details of these modelsare given in the references quoted above. It is to be noted that in all of these formulations, the enhancement ofductility due to confinement by stirrup ties are confirmed.

    The significant lateral passive compression and strain on concrete due to the confinement generated bythe transverse reinforcements, indicates that the concrete is in the state of tri-axial compression. In this condition,the concrete element is very ductile.

    The primary results published on this subject have shown that the resistance and longitudinal strain ofconcrete, confined by hydrostatic pressure activated by fluid, could be increased as defined by two simpleequations. These equations can be found in the literature (4, 5 and 6).

    Researchers such as Mander et al. (7), Scott et al. (8), Sheikh and Uzumeri (9) and Vallenas et al. (2)have performed several tests on real full-scale structures.

    A complex mathematical model was developed by Bazant and Bhat (10, 11). Apparently this model is thesole model that considers the stress-strain relation for the monotonic, cyclic and dynamic loading of confined orunconfined concretes under any state of multi-axial stresses. However this model has been developed by usingmainly the data based on the biaxial and tri-axial tests with the confinement provided by mechanical means.

    Therefore, in this step of development, the passive confinement due to transverse reinforcement was nottaken into account. The primary researches on the behavior law of confined concrete were performed generally ata small scale on samples under the concentrated point loading by applying a quasi-static strain velocity.

    The proposed model by Kent and Park (1) for the law to describe the behavior of concrete confined withinrectangular stirrup ties was based on the results of the experimental tests of Roy and Sozen (12) and also of

    researchers who have taken into account the enhancement of ductility resistance.Scott et al. (8) and Park et al. (13) have also worked on the full-scale columns of buildings.By considering the augmentation of concretes resistance due to confinement and the effect of the strain

    velocity, they proposed modification to the behavior law of Kent and Park (1).Vallenas et al (2), and Sheikh and Uzumeri (9) have proposed the monotonic stress-strain equation for

    concrete confined by rectangular transverse reinforcements that take into account the above-mentionedconsiderations. Park et al. (14), Desayi et al. (15), Ahmad and Shah (16, 17), Meyer (18), Tassios (19) and othershave also proposed equations for the stress-strain law of concrete confined by spiral or circular transversereinforcements.

    In the following a modification of one of the existing models for unconfined concrete is first presented. Aformulation for confined concrete under cyclic compression is then proposed by the authors.

    2. EXPERIMENTAL DATA AND VERIFICATION METHODOLOGY2.1. Experimental data

    The experimental test results on columns carried out at the University of Nantes by Garcia Gonzalez (20)are used for the global validation of the proposed model. Over 20 tests have been performed on prototype scaled

    columns under bi-axial alternating cyclic and axial loading. The horizontal loads have been applied throughdifferent horizontal directions on the top of the columns.

    The experimental test results on the confined and unconfined concrete samples performed by Sadeghi(21) are also used for local validation.

    Since unconfined concrete under cyclic loading and also confined concrete under monotonic loading arespecial cases for confined concrete under cyclic loading, the models of Al Sulayfani (22) (for unconfined concreteunder cyclic loading case) and Tassios (19) (for confined concrete under monotonic loading case) are modified

    and used for validation of particular cases of the proposed model.The simulated results obtained by using the proposed model are also compared with the results reported

    in literature.

    2.2. Verification methodology

    In order to eliminate the problem of scale effect, a finite element model entitled Biaxial Bending ColumnSimulation (BBCS) was developed by Sadeghi (23, 24 and 25) and the simulated and experimental results on theprototype column models were compared. In this way the proposed non-linear stress-strain law for confinedconcrete under cyclic loading was modified and validated.

    2.3. Finite element model BBCS

    In the BBCS program, a behavior law for confined concrete is considered and the behavior laws of

    columns are specified. After an iterative process the simulation and experimental results are compared and theconfined concrete laws are adjusted accordingly. The selected laws, presented here are simple but sufficientlyaccurate to be used in a cyclic simulation.

    The BBCS software deals with the simulation of a reinforced concrete column under biaxial bendingmoment and axial loading, for rectangular or non-rectangular sections, considering the non-linear behavior ofmaterials. The simulation method used in BBCS is convenient for cyclic loadings, such as earthquake excitationsor impacts against the reinforced concrete structures.

    The basic equilibrium is justified over a critical hypothetical cross-section assuming the Navier law with anaverage curvature. The method used qualifies as a Strain Plane Control Process that requires the resolution of aquasi-static simultaneous equations system using a triple iteration process over the strains. It is based on thecyclic non-linear stress-strain relationships for concrete fibers and reinforcements. For this procedure, the strainsin the extreme compressive and tensile points of the section are considered as two main variables (for non-rectangular sections these points may outside the actual cross-sections). For the entire element, deflection isevaluated using an elasto-plastic analytic formulation.

    The program takes into account the confining effect of the transverse reinforcement and simulates the loss

    of the concrete cover. It allows the determination of the failure, the local internal behavior of critical section (i.e.strains, stresses, neutral axis,) and the global external behavior of the column (top deflection).

    The main simulated results are confirmed with the full-scale experimental results obtained by otherresearchers (20, 32).

    2.4. Examples of evaluation and modifying the parameters

    Utilization of a formulation similar that of Al Sulayfani (22) for the simulation of a reinforced concreteelements behavior gives more closely spaced hystersis loops (moment-curvature loops) than are obtained by theexperimental tests on the columns of Garcia Gonzalez (20). To further investigate the problem, The models ofPark (26), Buyukozturk (27), Meyer (18), Darwin (28), Bazant and Kim (29) and Karsan and Jirsa have beenstudied (30).

    Comparative studies on the parameters relating to the point of unloading (slope at the point of unloadingand the coordinates of residual stress) have been performed. By performing numerical simulation on the columns

    using the BBCS program and comparing these with the experimental test of Garcia Gonzalez (20), it wasobserved that, the values of unloading tangent modulus EU0 and residual strain r (see Fig. 3) which are used forgenerating the stress-strain (-) curve play a very important role in the moment-curvature response of areinforced concrete section in the unloading phase. As shown in Fig. 3, the variation of E U is less important,because its effect is situated in the zone of lesser stresses.

    The residual strain r has a non-negligible role in the failure phenomenon in the case of cyclic loading. Ifthis strain is considered greater than the actual case, the failure appears sooner in the response curve.Conversely, if a value of rsmaller than the actual is adopted, the number of cycles at failure and the values of thedisplacement and the curvature will reduce.

    In Table 1, the variations of the values of 0r in function of 0A obtained by using different

    researchers models are presented (see also Figs. 2 and 3).

    By inserting the relevant values of stress and strain in equation 1 at points L, P and Y and also recognizingthat the slope of the curve is equal to zero at the peak of curve (see Fig. 2), the four unknown coefficients A L, BL,CL and DL are determined.

    These four conditions (coordinates of the points L, P and Y and also the slope at P) are found as follows:

    3.5. Comparison of the proposed model and experimental tests resutsThe simulated results obtained by using the BBCS program have been compared with the results obtained

    by Park et al. (32) on reinforced concrete elements under alternating mono-axial bending moment and theexperimental test of Garcia Gonzalez (20) on reinforced concrete elements under alternating bi-axial bendingmoment and axial force.

    The simulated results using the BBCS program and the Park et al. results have been compared for arectangular section column with a cross-sectional area of 30.5cmx15.2cm under a vertical loading of 160 kN andan imposed alternating mono-axial bending moment. The section has 4 steel bars with a yield stress of fy = 345MPa and a total area of 11 cm

    2, with a concrete cover of 5.1 cm. The characteristic resistance of concrete fc is

    equal to 34 MPa.Comparison of the simulated and experimental moment-curvature curves, illustrated in Fig. 10, indicates a

    close agreement between the proposed simulation and the experimental and simulation of Park et al. From thisFig. it can be observed that after the first half-cycle the newly proposed simulation is more precise than simulationof Park.

    4. CONCLUSIONS

    The proposed stress-strain law for confined concrete under the compression cyclic loading is simple andapplicable to the simulation of reinforced concrete columns, beam-columns and beams under monotonic andcyclic loading.

    The proposed law is validated by the results of experimental tests carried out on reinforced concretecolumns subjected to cyclic mono-axial and biaxial bending moment and axial load performed by differentresearchers.

    Since the proposed law has a strong mathematical structure, it can readily be adapted and achieve ahigher degree of precision by modifying the relevant coefficients following the completion of more accurate andprecise tests. The proposed model can be used in conjunction with finite element analysis for the simulation of awide range of reinforced concrete elements under any loading conditions.
