Abstract - As more complex earthquake research and design approaches are created it is necessary to accurately predict the cyclic behaviour of RCelements, whichis defined by strength, deformability and energy dissipation capacity. This report describes the experimental results of RC beams under cyclic loading. The main objective of this study is effect of RC beam with same percentageoflongitudinalreinforcement and varying transverse reinforcement. Hysteresiscurve isolatedfor each cycle, relative energy dissipation in successive cycle, variation in relative energy dissipation and variations in secant stiffness of various specimensareplottedandstudied. It is observed that lower stirrup spacing has higher initial stiffness when compared to higher spacing. The relative energy dissipated by the specimens with less stirrup spacing was more.
Key Words: cyclic loading, energy dissipation capacity, hysteresis curves, stiffness degradation, stirrups spacing variation.
The primary purpose of transverse reinforcement in beams is to withstand shear stresses or forces that act perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of reinforced concrete beams. Shear strength is determined by the concrete'sgrade,theamountoftensionsteel,thesizeand spacingofthestirrups,and thecharacteristicsofthesteel usedfortheRCelement.ThequantityofenergylostbyRC elements,oneofthemostimportantvariablestotakeinto account, is a crucial factor in determining earthquake resistance. By enhancing the system's capacity for deformationandcompressivestrength,stirrupsandtiesare two parts that aid in the dissipation of energy. When earthquake loads are applied to a structure, the energy emitted by the loads should be dispersed. The degree of damage to the structure will grow if the capacity of the structuretodisperseenergyisdiminished.Asmorecomplex earthquakeresearchanddesignapproachesarecreated,itis necessary to accurately predict the cyclic behaviour of RC elements,whichisdefinedbystrength,deformability,and energydissipationcapacity.
In the present study, the effect of stirrup spacing of beam on its energy dissipation capacity is studied experimentally. To study this effect the relative energy dissipatedineachsuccessivecycleofloadingisdetermined toestablishthevariationpatterninenergydissipation.Also, the change in secant stiffness in consecutive cycles is obtainedtostudythevariationinstiffnessofbeam.
