Deformation Capacity and Shear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Members Under Cyclic Loading
Also Known As:
The ACI SP-236:2006 standard focuses on the vulnerability of reinforced concrete members to degradation in shear strength when subjected to cyclic loading, particularly in seismic events. The standard acknowledges the need for improved methods in performance-based earthquake engineering and highlights the challenges associated with small and inconsistent data sets used in existing models.
To address these challenges, the publication discusses the development of the PEER column database, which provides a larger pool of data and the full hysteretic response of each column. The publication also documents the technical articles presented at the Joint ACI-ASCE Committees 441 and 445 technical session, which aimed to showcase recent developments in the field and encourage further discussion to improve models for shear strength and deformation capacity.
The table of contents reveals that the symposium covers various topics related to the deformation capacity and shear strength of reinforced concrete members. Some of these topics include the effects of displacement history on failure of lightly confined bridge columns, the effect of shear reversals on dynamic demand and resistance of reinforced concrete elements, the seismic performance of reinforced concrete columns, the application of a probabilistic drift capacity model for shear-critical columns, and the effect of cyclic loading on the shear strength of reinforced concrete members, among others.
