Retrofit of columns, being noted for centuries and existing distinct fractures concentrated around connections with capitals and bases point to some fundamental deficiency of the structural system. Traditional connections consist of carefully smoothed contact areas joined only with centrally placed iron dowel what makes them very sensitive to any disturbance from vertical position. Analyses show that even a small imperfection in the construction process, temperature changes and especially eccentric loads result in the leaning of the contact to one side. Described contacts do not have sufficient rotational stiffness to compensate rotations. Eventually, high edge stresses cause numerous fractures. Performed laboratory tests pointed out additional problem of irregularities of contact areas, which, together with eccentric load, became critical for all specimens. Tests were carried out on almost real scale samples from traditional quarries. Testing procedure ensured separate analyses to centric and eccentric loading with respect to actual stress distribution in structures. All abovementioned assertions were confirmed with a range of numerical models: from simple frame and shell models to complex solid models. All models were calibrated with results of the laboratory tests. This work shows that it is essential to understand real nature of connections behaviour if we want to approximate real stress distributions, positions of thrust lines and finally safety factor in order to form adequate retrofit strategies. heywords: iaboratory testsi kumerical analysisi ptone columni CapitalI BaseI fron doweli ootational stiffnessi Contact stressi bccentric loadi frregularities of contacts areasi cracture propagation NK fntolarctfln NKNK mroblem description Our research of conventionally made columns and column connections started with the reconstruction project of the Rector s Palace in Dubrovnik [1]. Specific vestiges of previous reconstructions like stirrups around columns (Fig. 1a), stone insets and gaps filled with lead or wood, broken parts held with wire (Fig. 1b), different types of stones, various styles of column shapes and capitals were very intriguing. Historical surveys showed that many other researchers in Croatia as well all over the world noticed similar fractures near column connections, but the essence of the observed phenomenon is usually overshadowed by many other issues related to historical structures [2]-[3]. It is convenient to emphasize a sentence from one of the historical reports which describes the nature of the problem: ''Damages of particular parts of columns seem to represent a continuous phenomenon which required unusually large number of interventions'' [4]. Reconstruction is essential to avoid fracture propagation around the column connections, which could eventually endanger the stability of structure [5]. We have performed extensive numerical and experimental research in order to understand the real behaviour of contacts and to establish input parameters needed for adequate retrofit strategies. 1 Senior research assistant, PhD, Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Zagreb, atalic@grad.hr 2 Associate professor, PhD, Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Zagreb, damir@grad.hr 3 Teaching assistant, Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Zagreb, msavor@grad.hr 619

5 base was placed in a fixed steel ring to prevent horizontal displacements. The described setting ensured testing of the contact behaviour due to centric and eccentric loading, but also ensured safety in postcritical phases when parts of specimen were falling and when specimen lost stability (Fig. 9). PKNKPK ioading phases Several different testing procedures were used, and all were representative of real structure behaviour. Forces were implemented by two hydraulic pistons using displacement control. In the first phase of the experiment centric force is applied (piston above specimen) to maintain an appropriate level of compression stress. Levels of the required stresses were based on previously developed numerical models or defined according to results of measurements on real structures. The second phase was the implementation of an eccentric force (piston at midspan of the steel beam) in order to produce beam deflection and consequently the rotation of the capital (Fig. 3a). The beam deflection was always small but nevertheless enough to cause leaning of the capital to one side of the column. It is important to note that total level of the centric force in column increases in the second phase as well, which needs be taken into account. The final phase was the application of loads until the specimen failed by losing its stability. The procedure was calibrated on three unreinforced concrete (cheaper) specimens. PKNK4K Measuring places Tests on concrete specimens were also very useful for improving measuring procedures. Firstly, tests were performed with only 21 measuring locations and mostly using Linear Variable Differential Transformers (LVDT) sensors with different sensitivity. It was planned to capture displacements along the whole specimen, the rotation of the capital, the deflection of the steel beam and relative deformations on the specimen. Measuring locations for relative deformations (stresses) were placed at the top (10 cm from edge), at the middle and at the bottom of the column (10 cm from edge). After few samples and analyses, we have added several LVDT-s for the control of any out of plane displacements, displacement of the bearing structure and the rotation (torsion) of steel beam. An important change in the procedure was a replacement of LVDT-s used for measuring relative deformations with much more and better placed strain gauges (Fig. 4). Finally, there were over 35 measuring locations. PKOK oesults of the tests a) b) c) cigk R Irregularities of contacts areas: a) usage of FaroArm device, b) measured points in plain views, c) measured points in three dimensional views PK2KNK deneral The behaviour of one of the specimens tested earlier have been presented [7]. The serious problem during the test was to apply an ideal centric force. Despite well controlled laboratory conditions, precision made and installed components and a careful orientation of the piston, it proved impossible to obtain reasonably uniform compression stresses. All specimens presented the same problem and eventually after many attempts, Faro Photon and Faro Arm devices to measure irregularities of the specimen and especially contact areas were adopted. The Faro Arm device with a precision of 2/100 mm finally helped to explain the problem (Fig. 5a). Regardless of the precisely fabricated specimens, contact areas had irregularities below 0.3 mm (Fig. 5b, Fig. 5c). This was enough to prevent ideal leaning of contact areas and uniform stress distribution. Gaps between contact areas on the installed specimens were measured, but only around edges. Gaps inside the cross section were predicted by measurements with the Faro Arm device and corrected with 623
6 results from numerical models. All measured values were assigned to the link elements, used in numerical models which had confirmed the problem and simulation results matched testing results fairly well. One can only imagine many problems the old masterbuilders and stone masons had with traditional construction tools and on real construction sites at the time. PK2K2K Centric force All tests had a control phase at the level of 100 kn and problem of irregularities on contact areas was always detected at the end of phase. Stress distribution at the Top of the Column (TC) and Bottom of the Column (BC) obtained during one of the test is shown (Fig. 6). Red border line represents column edge without gaps (measured) between the column and the capital (Fig. 6a) and between the column and the base (Fig. 6b). The values in white boxes represent gap openings measured before the start of the test. Blue prisms show values for compression stresses [kn/m 2 ] obtained from measured relative deformations. Maximum value at the TC is 9.0 MPa, and at the BC is 10.7 MPa. If a uniform compressive stress is assumed along the whole cross section, it would only amount to about 2.0 MPa. Light gray regions represent contacts obtained by testing and numerical models. Even by these simple results, critical places can be easily predicted for the next phase of experiment. The first crack opened at centric force of 137 kn, near the maximum value of stress at BC (Fig. 6c). The same location was detected by numerical models (Fig. 3). Shades of blue on Fig. 3 represent compressive stresses and the red ones indicate tension stresses in the column. After the crack opening, new contact between the column and base is formed and the new stress redistribution is clearly established. Test was continued until the load level reached 200 kn, which is comparable with the values measured at the Rector s Palace in Dubrovnik. Under the assumption of a uniform compressive stress, the obtained value is only 5% of the capacity load. a) b) c) cigk S a) Stress distribution during control phase at measuring places TC, b) Stress distribution during control phase at measuring places BC, c) First crack at the bottom of the specimen PK2KPK bccentric force Eccentrically placed force caused a relative rotation of the capital (in relation to column) and consequently a complete leaning to one side of the contact (Fig. 3a).

8 established and the test was continued. An additional increase of forces (centric and eccentric) caused propagation of present fractures, opening of new ones, leading to the rupture of column parts (Fig. 8) and finally to the collapse of the entire specimen (Fig. 9). Undoubtedly, one can point out to the high sensitivity of contacts with respect to irregularities of contact areas, which governs future behaviour. Any load change, especially eccentricity, causes stress concentration and fracturing. 4K ClNCirpflNp Results presented in the paper emphasize high sensitivity of traditional column connections to the irregularities of contact areas and especially to eccentric forces. The usually assumed uniform or linear stress distribution may grossly overestimate the safety factor. Numerous fractures around column connections with both capitals and bases prove fundamental deficiency of such structural systems. Small rotational stiffness of the contact is unable to maintain a state of equilibrium during many disturbances of the structural system like earthquakes, support settlements, fires (explosions), temperature changes, previous reconstructions, many unknown interventions and possible imperfections emanating from the construction process. Fracture propagation is inevitable and according to present fractures, parts of structure may be in a dangerous post-critical state. Fractures are common in historical constructions, but according to the results of laboratory tests, a collapse is possible if material and structural capabilities to redistribute stresses are exhausted. Therefore, by ignoring or not fully appreciating the real nature of connections we can easily endanger both local as well as global stability of the structure. The importance of a correct analysis must be clearly emphasized, along with complexities and difficulties associated with such a process. Extensive numerical and experimental analyses were and will further be made to assess better the real behaviour of contacts and to provide more realistic parameters needed for adequate analyses and retrofit strategies [7].
