Abstract | In the design of reinforced concrete (RC) beams located in low-moderate seismicity regions, adequate flexural deformability apart from flexural strength to cater for the imposed seismic demand should be designed. As per the existing RC design codes, this is achieved by restricting the maximum neutral axis depth or tension steel ratio, or limiting the minimum confining steel. However, these deemed-to-satisfy rules were derived many years ago based on normal-strength concrete and steel, which would impair the deformability when applied directly to RC beams made of high-strength materials. To resolve the problem, a new design method based on a prescribed deformability is advocated. In this study, the authors proposed that instead of complying with the deemed-to-satisfy rules, a consistent deformability derived based on the design requirements of Eurocode 2 should be provided to all RC beams located in low-moderate seismicity regions. Using the theoretical formulas developed previously by the authors, two different sets of design values expressed in terms of maximum tension steel ratio and neutral axis to beam effective depths for different concrete and steel yield strengths are evaluated. Finally, simplified guidelines for designing RC beams satisfying the proposed deformability requirement are developed for practical design application. © 2011 Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VGTU) Press Technika. | ||||
