EVALUATION THE EFFECT OF LONGITUDINAL REINFORCEMENT ON DAMAGEABILITY OF RC FRAME USING HYSTERESIS CHARACTERISTICS

摘要：

Structural condition assessment under seismic loading has always been the matter of investigation. Indices such as damage index, reliability index and fragility with the same meaning have already been defined. The present paper aims to evaluate the effect of design parameter on structure damageability. The design parameter under consideration is the percent of longitudinal reinforcement. Seven reinforced concrete frames with three story and three spans have been designed according to ACI 318-05 code. The damage index and hysteresis characteristics (pinching, stiffness degradation, and strength degradation) calculated through IDARC program. Finally regarding damage indices and hysteresis characteristics for beams, columns and frames, the optimal percent of longitudinal reinforcement were suggested separately.
