Drift Limits of Concrete Frame Members Reinforced with High-performance Steel Bars and Fibers

  • Chapter
High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites 6

Part of the book series: RILEM State of the Art Reports ((RILEM,volume 2))

Abstract

Concrete test specimens reinforced with ultrahigh strength steel, f y > 80 ksi (550 MPa), were subjected to large displacement reversals. Each specimen consisted of two cantilever beams (or columns) connected to a central loading stub. The applied displacement history included cycles of increasing deflection reversals followed by a final push to failure. Experimental data are presented for concrete specimens conventionally reinforced and for concrete specimens reinforced with ultrahigh strength steel bars with and without fibers. The study shows that the use of ultrahigh strength longitudinal reinforcement in frame members is a viable option for earthquake-resistant construction.
