Moment redistribution capacity of continuous RC beams with high-strength steel reinforcement
Moment redistribution (MR), a nonlinear behavior occurring in continuous reinforced concrete (RC) beams, is related to the redistributed section's ductility and the stiffness distribution along the whole beam. The use of high-strength steel (HSS) reinforcement could affect the redistributed sec...

Moment redistribution (MR), a nonlinear behavior occurring in continuous reinforced concrete (RC) beams, is related to the redistributed section's ductility and the stiffness distribution along the whole beam. The use of high-strength steel (HSS) reinforcement could affect the redistributed section's ductility and can delay or even prevent the formation of plastic hinge after another. The lack of research regarding the influence of those phenomena on MR is one of the reasons that hinder design engineers from using HSS. This paper conducts a broad-range parametric study through finite element (FE) method to check if the design provisions on MR are still applicable to beams with HSS reinforcement of yield strength of more than 600 MPa. The critical sections' yield state (whether the plastic hinge is formed) at the ultimate limit state (ULS) and its influences on MR are investigated. The study demonstrations that the MR capacity decreases with the increase in yield strength of reinforcement, especially when the midspan section cannot yield at ULS due to the use of HSS reinforcement. Besides, the yield state is influenced by the coupling effect of multi-parameters and significantly affects the influence degree of each parameter on MR. A new method considering the yield state is proposed to estimate the MR capacity of the continuous beams. This method's reasonable accuracy is proved. It is recommended to reduce the specified MR by about 6% for every 100 MPa increase in yield strength of reinforcement. |
