Kusuma (Reeived: February 16, 215; Aepted: August 13, 215; Published online: September 3, 215) Abstrat: In a previous study by the authors, the innovative tehnology of applying welded reinforement grids (WRG) as onfining steel of reinfored onrete olumns (instead of traditional ties) under ompression loading was experimentally investigated. A stress-strain model of onrete whih takes onfinement effets into aount is developed based on the results of ompression loading tests of reinfored onrete olumn speimens. The stress-strain model is formulated by evaluating the relationship between several key parameters (effetive onfining pressure, peak stress, strain, and dutility) and the stress-strain behavior observed in the experiments. Analytial results are then ompared to experimental values available in the literature. It is shown that the predited stress-strain relation provides better agreement with the experimental results than existing models. Keywords: onfined onrete, lateral reinforement, reinfored onrete olumn, stress-strain model, welded reinforement grids (WRG). 1. Introdution Corresponding author Tavio is a Professor of the Department of Civil Engineering, Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Tehnology (ITS), Surabaya, Indonesia. B. Kusuma is a Ph.D. andidate of the Department of Civil Engineering, Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Tehnology (ITS), Surabaya, Indonesia. Column onfinement is an important omponent of the seismi design of reinfored onrete olumns [1-5]. The onfinement of ore onrete improves the overall strength and stability of the struture subjeted to large seismi lateral fores [6-12]. The harateristis of onfined onrete have been researhed extensively, and the primary parameters of onfinement have been identified both experimentally and analytially [13-19]. Various studies on the onfinement effets of lateral reinforement in olumn have already been onduted [2-24]. It is now well reognized that both the strength and dutility of onrete ompressive members an be greatly enhaned using welded reinforement grids (WRG) [25-29]. Very few experimental and analytial studies are available for ompressed members onfined by WRG. WRG an be flexibly prefabriated to meet the required size and volumetri ratio of transverse steel. The volumetri ratio is defined as the volume of the onfinement steel with respet to the volume of olumn, obtained by multiplying the gross ross-setional area and the spaing of onfining elements. These grids when used as olumn transverse reinforement, ould potentially lead to savings assoiated with easy and fast age assembly, and redution in steel onsumption sine the overlapping reinforement, bends and bend extensions are eliminated. Furthermore, the preision of welded grid orners, as ompared to bent onventional hoop orners, provides better and onsistent support to longitudinal reinforement, also improving olumn behavior. The grid orners may also provide additional onfinement pressure peaks without any longitudinal reinforement, improving the uniformity of pressure. The objetives of this study are as follows: 1) to study the appliability of existing onfinement models, and 2) to propose a stress-strain model of onfined onrete whih is appliable to a wider range of WRG ratios than the existing models. 2. Assessment of existing stress-strain onfinement models Several analytial stress-strain relations for retilinearly onfined onrete have been proposed. Among these, the relations presented by Hoshikuma et al. [3] and Legeron and Paultre [31] will be studied to determine the appliability to the speimens. Details of Hoshikuma s and Legeron s 1

Hoshikuma s model is appliable to normalstrength onrete. It inorporates all the relevant parameters of onfinement, inluding the type, volumetri ratio, and spaing of transverse reinforement as well as setion geometry. The developed model an be used for onrete onfined by different types of setion geometry inluding irular, square, and wall-type setions. It an also be used for bridge olumns whih have larger onrete setions and, thus, lower volumetri ratios of transverse reinforement. Legeron s model is appliable for normal- and high-strength onrete olumns based on the large number of test results of irular, square, and retangular olumns tested under various researh studies that inluded the studies undertaken by themselves and a number of other researhers. The strengths ranged from 2 to 14 MPa and the tie yield strengths ranged from 3 to 14 MPa. The model inorporates almost all the parameters of onfinement. The stress-strain relationship was basially same as proposed by Cusson and Paultre [32], but the parameters of the model were realibrated on the basis of large number of test data olleted by the authors. 3. Modeling of stress-strain relation The stress-strain model has been proposed based on test data by Tavio et al. [33]. This model is appliable to olumns with square setions made of normal strength onrete and welded reinforement grids (WRG). In this setion, the equations used in the stress-strain model are modified by performing regression analysis on all test results of the speimens listed in a paper reported by Tavio et al. [33] exept for olumns laterally reinfored with onventional ties. Table 1 summarizes the details of speimens tested by Tavio et al. [33]. The ross setions of the tested speimens an be seen in Fig. 1.

The mathematial expressions of the asending part were originally proposed by Popovis [34], and later used by Cusson and Paultre [32] for high strength onrete. They are expressed by Eq. (1). In this researh, all parameters (r, x, f ) in Eq.

Figure 4 shows the relationship between the enhanement strength of onfined onrete and the effetive onfinement index, Pe f o, whereas Figure 5 shows the relationship between the strain gain and the effetive onfinement index, Pe fo.

Comparison of preditions and experimental results The omparisons between the analytial onfined onrete strength values obtained from the proposed onfinement model and the experimental strength values are presented in Fig. 7. Strong orrelation between the analytial strength and the experimental strength is apparent. For the peak strain ε and strain at 85 perent of the peak strength, agreements between the measured and analytial results are also quite good as shown in Figs. 8 and 9. Comparisons were made between the preditions of the models and the experimental results of reinfored onrete olumns onfined with WRG. The study arried out by Holland [26] and Hong [27] inluded the olumn speimens with volumetri ratio ranged from 1. to 4. perent as given in Table 2. The omparisons of the model to the experimental results of all eighteen onfined speimens are shown in Figs Curves obtained from the models of Hoshikuma et al. [3] and Legeron and Paultre [31] are also shown in eah figure. In all ases, the stress-strain relation proposed by this researh aurately reprodues the experiment result. It ould be stated that the proposed model generally provides better agreement with the stress-strain relation of onfined onrete over a wider range of welded reinforement grids (WRG) ratios than previous onventional onfine-ment models. The inaurate preditions of both Legeron and Paultre and Hoshikuma et al. models on the peak stress and strain dutility are mainly due to the derivations of these models from the experimental results of traditionally-onfined olumns. Hene, the models are not appliable to WRG-onfined olumns. Table 2 Details of speimens tested by others [26, 27] Referene Label Grid onfiguration fo, MPa (ksi) d t, mm (in.)

It may be seen from these figures that the agreement between the preditions from the proposed model and the experimental stress-strain urves is very satisfatory. Figures 1-15 indiate that the proposed model predits the experimental results more aurately than the other models, espeially along the desending part of the stress-strain urve. This is beause suh previous models were developed for traditional tied and/or spiral olumns, whih are not as dutile as olumns transversely reinfored with WRG.

Conlusions Based on the experimental results from eighteen RC olumn speimens tested by Tavio et al. [33], the onfinement effets of welded reinforement grids (WRG) on the stress-strain behavior of normal- and high-strength onrete were investigated and a stress-strain relationship model is proposed. The following onluding remarks an be drawn: (1) When the same amounts of welded reinforement grids (WRG) were used, the gains in the strength and dutility of normal strength onrete onfined by 3 3 welded reinforement grids (WRG) (9-ells) were predited higher by the proposed model than those of onrete onfined by 2 2 welded reinforement grids (WRG) (4-ells) only. (2) The dutility of olumns is shown to be dependent on onfinement index, f f. It is onluded that the strain dutility ratio inreases with an inrease in f f for a given welded reinforement grids (WRG). (3) The proposed model an predit the stressstrain urves more aurately for a wide range of experimental results [33] than the other models, partiularly in the desending branh of the urves. The proposed model has also been verified with other experimental data [26, 27]. It also provides a simple omputational proedure without requiring any iterative al- s yh s yh 8
