Abstract

Influence of Connection Placement to the Behavior of Precast Concrete Exterior Beam-Column Joint. This paper presents an experimental study on the influence of connection placement to the behaviour of exterior beamcolumn joint of precast concrete structure under semi cyclic loading. Four half-scale beam-column specimens were investigated. Three beam-columns were jointed through connection that are placed in beam-column joint region and the forth is connected at the plastic hinge potensial region of the beam. Crack patterns, strength, stiffness and ductility of the test specimens have been evaluated. The test result indicated that all beam-column specimens show good ductility behavior.

Abstract

According to the current applicable national standard in Indonesia, i.e. SNI 07 2529 1991, in addition to the limitation on the loading rate, the steel bar must be reduced, formed, or lathed, as part of the shaping process of samples. This study determined and compared the effect of the shaping process on the yield strength, ultimate strength, and percent elongation by conducting tensile tests of steel bar grade BJTS40, i.e. deformed bar type of steel, and grade BJTP24, i.e., plain bar type of steel. Three diameters of the deformed bar (BJTS40) and one diameter of the plain bar (BJTP24) were used. Samples of the bars were taken randomly from a local distributor in the Greater Jakarta area. Each 1 m of the bar is divided into two, i.e. one end being the non-shaped sample and the other end being the shaped sample. Tensile tests of these two sides were conducted. This study determined that the shaping process influences the results of the tensile test, particularly the variation of percent elongation. Moreover, the effects of the shaping process can be inferred from the high coefficients of variation of yield strength (4.33%) and ultimate strength (2.40%) of the shaped sample. The results of this study, which elucidate the effects of the shaping process on tensile tests, can be used as an information resource in engineering practice.

Abstract

The reuse of material from collapsed building debris as a natural aggregate substituent has been an alternative to solve concrete waste in Indonesia. However, its use in larger structures needs further research. The objectives of this research are to study the concrete homogeneity at a certain sample height and to find the strength prediction of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC). In the previous laboratory study, the obtained concrete compressive strength with 20% RAC substitution (from the concrete ruins with fc’ = 30 MPa) was 27-30 MPa. Since, RAC contains natural aggregates and mixed cement paste, it is important to research the distribution, homogeneity and strength prediction of the concrete. The measurement was done using a non-destructive instrument called Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV). This paper presents a series of experiments investigating homogeneity and predicting compressive strength using both Destructive and Non-Destructive Tests (NDT). To do so, three steps in the experimental works were done. Firstly, UPV propagation measurements at four different levels through vertical prismatic beam specimens was performed. Two transducers were used in the direct mode of transmission with a 15 cm distance of measurement. Secondly, identical concrete samples cast in cubic form were measured using UPV and tested under compression. Thirdly, the core-drilled samples were taken from the vertical prismatic beam specimens for further investigation. The wave propagation velocity through RAC and the concrete compressive strength relationship demonstrate similar pattern as concrete with GFC (Gypsum-free-cement) performed by Brozovsky. This pulse velocity-concrete strength relationship can be used to predict the strength of RAC. Both the prediction curve and the homogeneity properties can be useful when casting a larger element of structures using RAC
