Fifteen static and dynamic tests were conducted to measure the actual magnitude of the curvature of a plastic hinge and to correlate the angle of deformation with resistance for beams subjected to dynamic loads. The primary variables were the amount of compression reinforcement, the distance between the concentrated loads, and the rate of loading. The dynamic step loads ranged in magnitude from about 1.10 to 1.25 times the static yield load. The computed values of moment, curvature, and deflection at the onset of plastic hinging were less than the experimental values for both static and dynamic loadings. The 30% increase in beam resistance under dynamic loads agreed with the increase in yield strength of the coupon specimens subjected to rapid straining. Plastic hinging was similar in the static and dynamic beams loaded at mid-span. Crushing occurred at approximately the same deflection under both types of load. For the beams with a pure moment region, a dynamic load equal to approximately 1.1 times the static load caused crushing at mid-span before the plastic hinge had developed as completely as it did for static loading; thus, for dynamic loads, the deflections were lower at the onset of crushing than they were for static loads.

This design code for concrete structures is the result of a complete revision to the former Model Code 1978, which was produced jointly by CEB and FIP. The 1978 Model Code has had a considerable impact on the national design codes in many countries. In particular, it has been used extensively for the harmonisation of national design codes and as basic reference for Eurocode 2. The 1990 Model Code provides comprehensive guidance to the scientific and technical developments that have occurred over the past decade in the safety, analysis and design of concrete structures. It has already influenced the codification work that is being carried out both nationally and internationally and will continue so to do.

Emphasizes actual structural design, not analysis, of multistory buildings for seismic resistance. Strong emphasis is placed on specific detailing requirements for construction. Fundamental design principles are presented to create buildings that respond to a wide range of potential seismic forces, which are illustrated by numerous detailed examples. The discussion includes the design of reinforced concrete ductile frames, structural walls, dual systems, reinforced masonry structures, buildings with restricted ductility and foundation walls. In addition to the examples, full design calculations are given for three prototype structures.

This book compiles state-of-the-art information on the behavior, analysis, and design of concrete beams containing transverse openings. Discussions include the need, effects, and classification of openings as well as the general requirements for fulfilling design pure bending, combined bending, and shear - illustrated with numerical examples torsion alone or in combination with bending and shear large rectangular openings as well as opening size and location on beam behavior methods for analyzing ultimate strength and serviceability requirements effects of torsion in beams large openings in continuous beams and their effects on possible redistribution of internal forces as well as guidelines and procedures for the design of such beams effect of prestressing on the serviceability and strength of beams with web openings design against cracking at openings and ultimate loads Concrete Beams with Openings serves as an invaluable source of information for designers and practicing engineers, especially useful since little or no provision or guidelines are currently available in most building codes.
