Title: “Modelling the Post-Peak Response of Existing Reinforced Concrete Frame Structures Subjected to Seismic Loading”Seismic Engineering and Reinforced Concrete Structures.- Designed, drafted structural drawings, planned (time; budget), fabricated (supervised technicians), and tested in quasi-static cyclic loading 6 flexure-shear critical cantilever R/C columns. Investigated for the first time the phenomenon of shear failure localisation and the impact of vertical load increase on the post-peak response of shear damaged members- Developed the first local shear hysteretic model, accounting for shear failure localisation, extending up to the detection of axial collapse- Developed a beam-column model for substandard R/C columns extending to the detection of axial collapse, considering shear-flexure interaction, spread of flexural and shear inelasticity, anchorage slip deformations, and shear failure localisation- Proposed empirical relationships for (1) inclination of full-depth shear diagonal failure planes, (2) post-shear-failure in-cycle strength degradation, and (3) shear deformation localised at shear damaged region at axial collapse- Proposed for the first time empirical classification criteria for the identification of columns susceptible to simultaneous shear and axial failure, without the need for rigorous analysis of the entire structure or even individual columnsSoftware/programming languages used: IDARC2D, RCCOLA.NET, R, FORTRAN, Matlab Show less
