Abstract
Rebar slippage in reinforced concrete (RC) elements results in concrete expansion, large cracks, and consequently, early deterioration of strength as well as premature stiffness degradation, particularly in the inelastic energy dissipating zones. Although design standards prescribe different minimum concrete compressive strength, seismic evaluation and retrofit standards, and guidelines permit the use of provisions regarding bond strength and bar slippage issues regardless of the minimum specified concrete strength postulated in design standards. To better understand the seismic behavior of special moment-resisting (SMR) beams exhibiting fixed-end rotation resulting from the rebars inelastic elongation and slip, quasi-static cyclic tests were performed on eight full-scale SMR beams. The chosen beams have longitudinal reinforcement ratios of 0.84% (Type-1) and 1.26% (Type-2) with a shear-span to depth ratio of 6.14 and detailed following the provisions of ACI-318-19. Two specimens were prepared for each reinforcement ratio using concrete with compressive strengths equal to 2000 psi (14 MPa, M14) and 3000 psi (21 MPa, M21). The specimens were tested under cyclic displacement protocols, exhibiting flexure yielding that was followed by diagonal shear cracking and, ultimately, bond failure at the beam–block interface. It is even though the beams fulfill the requirements of ACI 318-19 for steel bars embedment and end hooks for anchorage. Force–displacement hysteretic response curves were obtained revealing pinching behavior in the cyclic response. Both types of beams deformed up to maximum chord rotations of 5.22% and 5.73% in case of beams with M14 and M21 concrete, respectively, and experienced cover concrete crushing at the compressed toe. Representative numerical models were assembled implementing fiber-section force-based inelastic beam elements. Additionally, lumped inelastic rotational springs were added to the model for fixed-end rotation. A tri-linear moment-rotation hysteretic response curve has pinching behavior was used to simulate the reduction in re-loading stiffness. This was verified with the measured response of tested beams; excellently simulates the hysteretic response. Moreover, to examine the seismic response of a total structural system regarding these findings, several response history analyses were performed on capacity-designed five-story frames to demonstrate the importance of modeling beam element fixed-end rotation for predicting the story drift demands subjected to different earthquake ground motions. It was found that despite the bar-slip phenomenon the beams developed their yield capacities; however, the response of the frame was subjective depending on the characteristics of input motions, particularly the valleys and hills of the spectral shape.
