Effect of Plastic Hinge Properties in Pushover Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Plane Frames

Abstract

The four-bay, five-story Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame with two-dimensional beams and a column moment frame system that is vulnerable to Mosul, Iraq's seismic activity is examined. A plastic hinge symbolizes the member yielding failure mode in columns and beams. Utilizing SAP2000 software (V.16), the pushover study was carried out to confirm the code's fundamental goal of life safety performance under seismic events. By combining the seismic hazard with the inelastic structural analysis, one may determine the anticipated seismic performance of a structure. An essential outcome of pushover analysis for both brittle (force-controlled) and ductile (deformation-controlled) actions of the plastic hinge behavior is the base shear vs structure's tip displacement curve. The pushover analysis, using a variety of alternatives for the plastic hinge behavior, showed that the plastic hinge formed because of its brittle nature placed it in the more severe category. All of the plastic hinges created in the beams as a result of brittle behavior are placed in the risky branch ("Collapse Prevention CP") of the plastic hinge acceptance criterion. This necessitates increasing the shear strength of the beams.
