Ductility of reinforced concrete sub frame for industrialized building system
Ahmed Sabah Aljawadi1, Abdul Kadir Marsono2, Che Ros Ismail3.
An accurate determination of industrialized building system (IBS) frames ductility under alternating lateral loads is the key issue of
this study. The performance features of IBS H frame assembly subjected to cyclic lateral pushover test with six attached IBS
components are reported. A test scheme of nonlinear elastic sub-frame system is proposed to build an IBS structural building
system. This system complies with the requirements of strength and ductility governed by European Codes 2 and 8. The three
models are a conventional reinforced concrete H frame system CRCH (Model 1), IBS with steel conventional links as
reinforcements IBSHN (Model 2), and special spiral links concrete IBSHS (Model 3). Each model is scaled to 1:5. All models are
laboratory examined under cyclic lateral pushover test to failure, where the IBS connections are considered as hybrid partial rigid
linking beams to columns. The beam ends are connected to column boxes via a U shaped steel plate. The experimental results of
the IBS specimens are compared with the conventional reinforced concrete connection of similar shapes and size in the form of H
sub-frame mechanism tested under the same condition. The models are subjected to cyclic lateral load controlled applied at the
beam-column connection. The performance evaluation of IBS connections is made via load displacement hysteresis, ultimate
and collapse parameter, ductility index, and surface cracks appearances. The conventional concrete specimen is obviously
found to display better strength compared to IBS. Conversely, the ductility of IBS H frame specimen with spiral shear links and
conventional closed loop links exhibits superior features compared to the conventional concrete specimen which is beneficial to
earthquake engineering. It is demonstrated that the performance of the precast concrete structure is highly dependent on the
ductile capacity of connectors to each of the IBS component. This is significant especially at the joints such as the beam-tocolumn connections. Our systematic methods on ductility characterizations of reinforced concrete beams may contribute
toward the development of IBS in resisting earthquakes.
