The Effect of Slabs on the Failure Mode of Reinforced Concrete Frame Structures
A majority of reinforced concrete frame structure failure patterns resulting from the May 12
2008 earthquake in Wenchuan County
P. R. China were analyzed. It was found that the main failure mode of frame works was “strong beam
weak column”
which conflicts with the design criteria of “strong column
weak beam”. The cause of this failure pattern was analyzed. A new concept is put forward that should be considered in design work. The overstrength caused by slabs connected monolithically to the beams is analyzed. The joint types
transverse beam stiffness and lateral drift influence the reinforcing effect of the sla
Moreover
a reinforced concrete frame model was simulated using the program ABAQUS. The slab reinforcement stress distributions at different lateral drifts were analyzed and the effective flange width value proposed.
