| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立雲林科技大學 === 營建工程系 === 104 === For high-rise buildings, columns made of normal-strength reinforced concrete have large cross-sectional dimensions which cannot be accepted by end users. Using high-strength reinforcement and concrete have many advantages, including smaller member sizes, lighter structure elements, lesser steel reinforcement, longer span capability, and more space available for end users.
This paper presents experiments of the sub-project “behavior, design, and modeling of new RC frame joints subjected to seismic loading” in the Taiwan New RC Project. Four new RC interior beam-column connections with transverse beams and slabs were tested according to the acceptance criteria for moment frames, evaluating the effect of transverse beams covers 1/2 or 3/4 width of the joint face. The degradation of the joint shear strength is also investigated. Four beam-column connection specimens were made with 100-MPa concrete, SD685 longitudinal reinforcement, and SD785 transverse reinforcement. Two connection specimens have precast concrete units with cast-in-place concrete joint and slabs, while the other two specimens are monolithic beam-column-slab connections. Test results show that the precast beams and columns with cast-in-place concrete joint perform as well as expected for seismic design of moment frames. Test results shows that the 1/2-column-width-wide transverse beams still have partial confinement effect. It is recommended that the nominal joint strength between calculated by linear interpolation between 1.25√(f_c^' ) MPa(15√(f_c^' ) psi) and 1.67√(f_c^' ) MPa(20√(f_c^' ) psi) for transverse beams cover 1/2 and 3/4 width of the column, respectively.
