Introduction
The
philosophy
of structu[aldesign
of weak-beam, st[ong-columntype
offrames
has
been
widelyadopted
for
aseismic
design
of reinforced concretebuildings
during
the
latest
decade.
Little
informations
have,
howeveT,
been
obtained
on
the
combined effectsof
working verticalload
and cyclichorizontal
inertia
force
on suchtype
offrames,
though
someinvestigations
withoutthe
definite
philosophy
of suchtype
ofductile
frames,
have
been
reported'}h4],Experimentai
studyis
being
continued'in
ourlaboratory
to
have
the
variousinformations
concerningthe
behaviours
ef
suchtype
offrames
both
during
and afterearthquakes.Two
ofthe
studytesults
have
been
presented
in
Ref.
s
and6
onthe
verticalload
carrying capacity ofbeams
in
reinforced concreteframes
withthe
experience of reversedhorizontal
loading
and enthe
stability ofthe
columns ofmulti-storyframes
withthe
experience ofhorizental
loading
respectively.When
a weak-bearn, strong-columntype
of reinforced concreteframe
is
subjectedto
a series of reversedhorizontal
loading
cycles
along
with apreviously
applied
constant working veTticalload
onits
beams,
the
two
extreme ends ofthe
beams
gradually
lose
their
rotational stiffness.The
beams
then
graduaily
turn
to
behave
like
simply supportedones,
by
decreasing
the
fixed
end moments and alsoby
increasing
the
beam
center moment.These
phenomena
resultinto
the
gradual
increase
ofthe
verticaldeflectign
along withthe
beam
during
the
reversedhorizental
loading.
Now
the
practical
problems
that
may arisedue
to
this
increase
of verticaldeflection
along withthe
beam,
areto
have
to
usean
uneven
and
deflected
face
of
floors
and
roofs,causing
ponding
of
wateron
roofs which may resultin
acceleratecldeterioration.
And
alsofoi
instance,
the
door
and windowpanels
may notbe
closed or openedproperly
during
emergencyetc.7).
The
possiblity
of
these
phenomena
maybe
overcomeby
providing
enough shear wallsfor
the
buildings
to
reducethe
maximuminterstroy
deflection
during
reversedhorizontal
loading.
There
are some research examples ofbehaviour
ofbeams
in
frames
under combined action of yertical andhorizontal
loading.

Yamada

alsothe

of verticaldeflection
along steel-concrete compositebeams

Though
the
structures
tested
by
him
were steelportal
frames,
the
slabs
which werebeing
sustainedby
the
steelbeams,
were macle of reinforced concrete.The
aspect ofthis
paper
is
to
observeboth
analytically and expeTimentallythe
behaviour
ofbeams
in
reinforced concreteframes
underthe
combined action of vertical andhorizontal
loadings.
In
particular,
focus
is
placed
onthe
continuous
progress
of
the
verticaldeflection
alongthe
length
ofthe
beams
during
reversedhorizontal
loading
cycles, with working verticalload
on
the
bearns
applied.The
verticalload
carrying capacity ofthese
beams
withthe
experience
of
horizontal
loading
is
also
verified5).The

Derivation
of
Analytjcat
Model
,
An
analyticalprocedure
is
developed
to
suitthe
experimental
studyto
be
described
in
the
following
chapters,
which
deals
with aseries
of statically onedegree
indeterminate,
single-bay,
single-story
Teinforcedconcrete
frames,
'
'
with
twe
mechanical,hinges
atthe
bottoms
of
their
both
columns.
,
,
Based
onthe
following
assumptions,the
verticaldeflection
ofbeam
center under combinedhorizontal
and verticalloading
is
going
to
be
calculated.O
The
basic
assumptionsbeing
consideredare,
(a)
a'plane section of any member remainsplane
at any stageofloading,
(b)
there
does
not
also
occur
any
shear
deformation
of
joints,
and
(c)
the
members
are axiaLly rigid.2)
The
members ofthe
frames
aredevided
transversely
into
desired
nurnbers,toform
alinear
meshof
finite
elements, which are connected
to
each other ontheir
both
ends as shownin
Fig.

the
model specimen, which wasdivided
at aninterval
of

The
tri-linear
rnoment-curvature(M-di)
relationsfor
the
segtions ofthe
elements ofthe
membersfor
variousaxial
force
levels,
N
maybe
obtainedby
the
rnethod as explainedin
Ref.
5.
To
suitthe
experimental
study,for
the
beams,
the
portion
between
the
crack andthe
yield
moments ofthese
curves,maybe
taken
to,be
representedby
,the
straight
line
joining
the
crackingpoint,
correspondingto
the
axialfor
¢e Tesultingfrom
the
effect ofthe
working vertiealload,
andthe
yield
point
correspondingto
the
maximum axialforce
developed
in
the
beam
whenit
yields
underthe
combihedloadifigsi.
On
the
otheTtiand,
for
the
columns,it
maybe
done
by
joining
the
cracking andyield
points
cor[espondingto
the
minimum andthe
maximum axialforce
which occurin
the
columns underthe
combinedloadings,
The
effect ofthe
slipping-outof
the
tensile
reinforcernent maybe
consideredby
increasing
the
yield
values of cuTvature, whiChis
calculatedfrom
that
given
in
the
R.C.
Code
of
AIJ
for
the
corre.sponding valuesof
rotations.
Fig

showsthe
wayhow
to
determine
these
yield
curyaturesfrom
the
correspondingyield

In
this
study,this
effecthas
been・considered
for
the
beams
only.For
the
relatively.strong columns, which arebeing
usedin
the
experimental
study,it
has
been
checked
analyticallythat
there
arealmost no
effects
on
the
responses, +p pwhether
the
slipping-out effects ofthe'
tensile
reinforcement of columns are considered or not.Thus

Under

load,
for'
higher
ampli-tudes,
the
bending
moments
at
different
critical
sectiens
of
the
beam
reachtheir
yielding
yalues,resulting
in
the
fermation
ef
yield
hinges.
These
yield
hinges
are
formed
alternately
at
tlte
both
end
sectionsof
the
beam.
It
maybe
consideredthat
there
occurs aflow
of curvaturesin
these
regions over a certain
length
alongthe
beam
axis,For
simplicity of calculation,for
th{s
study,this
length
ofthe
yield
hinges
was consideredto
be
{d.l2+db)
whichis
aIittle

ofthat
reportedin

showsthe
valuesof
the
yield
hinge
length,
proposed
by
different
authors,
calculatedfor
the
model specimensbeing
usedin
the
experimental
studyi3).
After
yielding
of
these
sections,
the
plastic
curvatufese.,
constant overthese
lengths,
areadded
to
the
curvature
distributions
of
the
elements
in
these
regions,
at
the
starting
of
yielding
of
those
critical
sectionsfoT
any
instants
of
loadings.
Then
the
added
plastic
curvatures
remain
active aslong
as
the
bending
moments ofthe
respective
elements
do
not
change
their
signs.
6)
For
the
staticallyindeterminate
structures,
the
values ofbending
momentfor
the
elements
alongthe
members maybe
calculatedby
consideringthe
geometrical
compatibilities ofthe
frames.
In
this
studythe
only onegeometrical
compatibilityis
to
be
consideredfor
the
onedegree
indeterminate
structures, which wasdone
in
such a waythat
the
vertical
deflection
of
the
beam-column
joint
of
the
right
columnbecomes
zero.Also
the
magnitude ofthe
plastic
curvatures
along
the
yield
hinge
length
maybe
calculatedin
the
same
wayto
fulfill
the
geemetrical
compatibility,
providiing
that
the
bending
moment atthat
critical sectiontakes
its
yield
value.7)

The

The

This
was
done
for
the

of

that

Here,
in
this
paper,
focus
is
going
to
be
placed
on
the
4

the
qualitative

similar
to

of

aregiven
in

(a).
It
was observedin
the
cases
of
allthe
specimens
that
the
working verticalloading
cau$ed afew
hair
cracks onbeam
just
underthe
two
points
of yerticalload
and or atthe
two
extreme ends.With
the
application of reversedhorizontal
loading,
the
flexural
cracksbegan
to
appear atthe
interval
of7-10
cm, startingfrom
the
bottom
surfacein
the
middle-thirdportion
of
the
beam.
As
the
interstory
deflection
angle wasincreased,
these
cracksbegan
to
extenddeeper
and widerinside
the
beam
as new cracks appearecl and spread onboth
sides
along
the
length
of
the
beam.
On
the
other
hand,
on
the
top
surfacethere
appeared almost no new cracks exceptthose
at and very nearthe

the

appearedto
be
ofinverted
`S'type
one.It
was observedby
comparingthe

ofBL-61H
andBS-61H
that
there
weie almost no remarkable effects ofthe

but
the
requiredlevel

wasdecreased
in

case
of

It
can
be
seen
from
the
comparison
of

that

the
analytical method seemsto
be
quite

At
it
is
seenfrom
these
three

it
was observedthat
the
verticaldeflectionsi
alongthe

of
the

wereincreasing
continuouslyduring
the
reversedhorizontal

tests
in
the
cases of allthe
three

'it
can
be
se'enby
the
comparisonbetween
Fig.

(a)
and
15
(b)
that
the
verticaldeflections
along
the
beams
were notdecreasitig
whenthe
horizontal

was withdrawn atthe
end of everypositive
and negativeloading
cycles.
This
increase
of
the
verticaldeflection
ol
beams
was
more
for
the
higher
level
of
applied working verticalload
during
the
initial
stages
of
horizontal

In

the

It

It
can
be

that

not acriticalfactor.
exceptthat

Conclusions
Based
on
the
study
reported
herein,
the
following
conclusions maybe
made.O
An
analytical rnethodhas
been
developed
to
predict
the
behaviour
of single-bay, single-$toryreinforced
concrete
frames
underthe
combined effects of verticaland
horizontal
loading.
This
methodincludes
the
assumptions offinite

the
equivalentyield
curvature,the
plastic
curvatureof
any section and alsothe
hysteretic
properties

the
