Behavior and Modeling of Existing Reinforced Concrete Columns Kenneth J. Elwood University of British Columbia with contributions from Jose Pincheira, Univ of Wisconsin John Wallace, UCLA

Questions? What is the stiffness of the column? What is the strength of the column? What failure mode is expected? What is the drift capacity at shear failure? at axial failure? How can we model this behavior for the analysis of a structure? What is the influence of poor lap splices?

Effective stiffness Modeling options: Option 1 (with slip springs) Option 2 (without slip springs): Stiffness based on moment-curvature analysis (or FEMA 356 recommendations) Use effective stiffness determined from column tests.

Shear Strength Several models available to estimate shear strength: Aschheim and Moehle (1992) Priestley et al. (1994) Konwinski et al. (1995) FEMA 356 (Sezen and Moehle, 2004) ACI 318-05 All models (except ACI) degrade shear strength with increasing ductility demand.

Drift models for flexural failures Flexural strength will degrade for columns with V p << V o due to spalling, bar buckling, concrete crushing, etc. Several drift models have been developed: Drift at onset of cover spalling: L spall P L = 1.6(1 )(1 + ) A f 10D Drift at bar-buckling: ρ g c vol f bb yt db P L = 3.25(1 + ke )(1 )(1 + ) L f D A f 10D c g c (Berry and Eberhard, 2004) 50 for rectangular columns, 150 for spiral-reinforced columns Drift at 20% reduction in flexural capacity: f ρ yt ρ f s P = 0.049 + 0.716 + l 0.120 0.042 0.070 L f d A f c g c (Berry and Eberhard, 2005) (Zhu, 2005)

How to apply models First classify columns based on shear strength: V p /V o > 1.0 shear failure 1.0 V p /V o 0.6 flexure-shear failure V p /V o < 0.6 flexure failure where V o 6 f c P = 1+ 0.8Ag + ad 6 f A c g A f d st s yt V p = 2M L p

How to apply models Shear failure Force-controlled Define drift at shear failure using effective stiffness and V o. May be conservative if V p V o Use drift at axial failure model to estimate a /L Very little data available for drift at axial failure for this failure mode, but model provides conservative estimate in most cases. Do not use as primary component if V > V o V V o 12EI eff L 3 a/l drift

How to apply models Flexure-Shear failure Deformation-controlled Max shear controlled by 2M p /L Use drift at shear failure model to estimate s /L Use drift at axial failure model to estimate a /L Do not use as primary component if drift demand > s /L V V p 12EI eff L 3 FEMA 356 limit for primary component failing in shear. s /L a/l drift

How to apply models Flexure failure Deformation-controlled Max shear controlled by 2M p /L Use model for drift at 20% reduction in flexural capacity to estimate f /L Do not use as primary component if drift demand > f /L For low axial loads, axial failure not expected prior to P-delta collapse. For axial loads above the balance point and light transverse reinforcement, column may collapse after spalling of cover. V V p 12EI eff L 3 f /L drift

Points to remember Models provide an estimate of the mean response. 50% of columns may fail at drifts less than predicted by the models. Drift Model Shear Failure Axial Failure Flexural Failure Spalling Bar Buckling Mean meas / calc 0.97 1.01 1.03 0.97 1.00 CoV meas / calc 0.34 0.39 0.27 0.43 0.26

Points to remember Shear and axial failure models based on database of columns experiencing: flexure-shear failures uni-directional lateral loads All models except bar buckling and spalling only based on database of rectangular columns. Use caution when applying outside the range of test data used to develop the models! Shear and axial failure models are not coupled. If calculated drift at axial failure is less than the calculated drift at shear failure, assume axial failure occurs immediately after shear failure.
