Motivation The fifth revision of IS 1893 has brought more than fifty percent of the country under moderate and severe seismic zones. Reasons of structure failure from earthquake studies: 1. Breakdown of corners joint 2. Base Isolation 3. Rigidity of structure Focus on Breakdown of Corners Joint The times of India Subodh Varma TNN May 1, 2015 Feb. 04, 2017, Gupta, C. G.

Introduction What is the behavior of structure During earthquake? In a moment resistant frame, three types of joints can be identified as: Seismic loading on interior joint forces on exterior joint Corner joint Feb. 04, 2017, Gupta, C. G. Fibre Reinforcement, Earthquake and Structure failure 3
Introduction Corner joint- 1. Bending moment which tend to close the corner. 2. Bending moment which tend to open the corner. Closing joint (top view) Opening joint (top view) Feb. 04, 2017, Gupta, C. G. Fibre Reinforcement, Earthquake and Structure failure 4
Introduction CASE 1: Bending moment which tend to close the corner Concern: Anchorage of reinforcement is a serious problem in case of closing corner. CASE 2: Bending moment which tend to open the corner. Concern: The diagonal resultant is tensile, that is a serious problem. We focus on Case 2 Feb. 04, 2017, Gupta, C. G.

Efforts to reduce the failures Nilsson, I.H.E. (1973) 1 Indian Standards (1987), (1997) 3 Noor, F.A. (1977) 2 Efficiencies close to 100% were obtained Past Efforts Feb. 04, 2017, Gupta, C. G. Fibre Reinforcement, Earthquake and Structure failure 6
Efforts to reduce the failure Issues- Available space in joint is limited. Major role- Fibre can play major role as fibred reinforced concrete with simple detailing system so efficiency can be increased. RCC beam with fibre during load Feb. 04, 2017, Gupta, C. G. Fibre Reinforcement, Earthquake and Structure failure 7
Experimental and Analytical study 1. The efficiency of detailing systemsp1 was found to be 70.33% 2. The efficiency of this detailing system SP2 was obtained as 95.33% Feb. 04, 2017, Gupta, C. G. Fibre Reinforcement, Earthquake and Structure failure 8
Experimental and Analytical study Loading Arrangement: 1. Jack and a pump unit. 2. A pair of stiff mild steel bearing plate 3. 50 mm diameter mild steel roller 4. Cover plate 5. The bearing plate as a point 6. Two 6 mm diameter mild steel runners 7. Proving ring of 50 KN capacity Loading Arrangement Feb. 04, 2017, Gupta, C. G.

Challenges After 1.5 and 2 percentage of steel fibre, balling effect decreases the strength and efficiency of fibre reinforcement concrete member. Balling effect A collection of long thin steel fibres, usually with aspect ratio higher than 100, will interlock to form a mat, or a ball, during mixing. Once these balls have formed, separating the fibres is extremely difficult. Bond is one of the reasons why straight smooth fibres cannot be successfully used in the field. Feb. 04, 2017, Gupta, C. G.
