How to calculate energy ductility of concrete beams?
Answers
Explanation:
The shear failure has a brittle nature which is not a desirable structural performance during earthquakes.
Two new types of shear reinforcements design are introduced in this study for the purpose of reaching a higher performance and material capacity for the connection and hence, the structure. These two shear reinforcement designs working simultaneously with other reinforcement systems and concrete have a better performance compared to that of conventional methods.
Explanation:
The ductility factor is defined by the formula Δf/Δy, where Δf is the displacement at failure and Δy is the yield displacement. The parameters of study are; the ratio between inertia of beam and inertia of column, the aspect ratio between the height and the length of frame panel and configuration of connection details.
