Introduction
For
the
application
of
plastic
design
methodto
reinforced concrete<RC)
frarnes,
it
is
the
first
requisitethat
constitutive
RC
members areductile
eneughfor
the
redistribution ofmoment
and
for
the
formation
of
plastic
collapse mechanism,To
discuss
analytically
the
ductility
of
RC
members,
the
effects
of
various
factors
shoulcl
be
fully
examined on
the
rotationalcapacity
and
the
length
of
th'e
failure
zone(or
idealistically
the
plastic
hinge)
of
RC
members3}'6).
The
toughness
of
RC
beams
under
flexure
is
often
evaluated
in
the
test
of
the
beams
subjectedto
two
sameconcentrated
loads
acting
at
the
trisectien
points,
whichoffers
the
fundamental
information
ofthe
mechanicalproperties
ofthe
beams.
Provided
that
the
mechanical characteristics of eonstitutive materialsin
arbitrary sections are uniform, moment(M)-curvature
{ip)
relationships
wouldbe
constant
over
the
regionbetween
the
two
loaded
points
(flexural
span)
i.
e.
failure
in
the
flexural
span
where
moment
is
constant
would
occttre
uniformly
exceptfor
the
region adjacentto
tbe
loaded
points,
According
to
the
observation ofthe
failure
patterns
ofRC
beams
in
experiments,however,
failure
zoneis
concentrated
in
a
finite
length,
whichis
usually abouth
to
2
h
(where,
h
is
the
height
ef
Rq
beams)`)・')-9),
Such
failure
or
curvature
localization
i$
considered
to
be
resultedfrom
the
unavoidablenonuniformities of
the
internal
stresses especially adjacentto
the
loaded
points,
material characteristics of concrete and steel,'bondcharacteristics
between
concrete and steel, etc.Various
M-
¢
relations,therefore,
mayinevitably
be
measuredin
experimentsdepending
on
the
measurementregion of
the
curvature.This
fact
is
considered one ofthe
reasons whythe
same resultshave
notbeen
reported onthe
applicability
of

For
the
concrete specimen even underthe
uniform stress state, onthe
oth,erhand,
the
failure
zone
is
localized
in
a
limited
regionof
the
specimen')・S),i`)・i5),
andthen
the
measured strainin
the
stressdescending
rangeis
quite
different
depending
on
the
length
and
position
of
the
strain measurement region.Therefore,
in
orderto
attain
agood
accuracyin
the
deformation
analysis
of
RC
members underflexure,
the
a-e relation of concrete correspondingto
the
compressive
zone
of
RC
member
shouldbe
appliedto
an appropriate certain region,instead
ofapplying
the
relation
of a conventional
cylindrical
specimen
to
any region.There
aTetwo
mainpurposes
in
the
present
study.One
is
to
exarninethe

otheris
to
discuss

of specimens, ultimatelybeing

It
is
observed
that

That
is,
there
exist
two
types
of

One
is
Ihe
region where eurvatureincreases
gradually,
which correspondsto

other
is
the

correspondence
of

of
an

is
observedfor
allthe

Moreover,
sincethe

ofboth

to
be
almost unique, respectively,as

in

Such

considered mainlydue
to

to
the

ofthe

is
di'scussed
here.
The

andtherefore
much

areavailable.
As

screwbolts

in
the

ofRC

According
to
the
measured a-Ecurves,
the
stressdescending
portions
become
ductile
due
to
the
existence
ofthe
screw
bolts,
regardless ofthe
spacing
ofhoops.
In

therefore,

The
following
statements canbe
drawn
from
the
study.'
1)
The
curvature
loealization
in
the
flexural

of
RC
beams
is
remarkable, andthe
span
can
be
divided
into
the
failure
and
th.e
non-fail.ure zoneg.,
.
2)
There
exist
evident
correlations
between
the
toughneSs
of

in
the
compreksive
zofi'e,
the
length
of
the
failure
zone, andthe
ductility
factor
in

zone ofRC
beams.
3)
The
increase
in
the
ductility
in
the
failure
zone also acceleratesthe
extension ofthe
failure
zone,and
as aresult,
the
plastic
deformation
capacity
of
the
whole
RC
member
increases.
4)
Experimental
