5. SEISMIC BEHAVIOUR OF RC COLUMNS EMBEDDING STEEL PROFILES<br />

Shear area calculated on <strong>the</strong> basis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> length jh, used to regulate <strong>the</strong> effective<br />

length <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> web panel <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> distance between vertical resultant forces coupled<br />

in <strong>the</strong> compression strut. It is proposed to use a fixed value <strong>of</strong> jh = 0.8ds based on<br />

comparison with test data.<br />

Moreover, experimental tests have demonstrated that <strong>the</strong> panel zone is able to<br />

provide a significant post-yield resistance (Krawinkler, 1978). When <strong>the</strong> panel zone<br />

has uniformly reached yielding, an additional increase in shear strength ∆Vj,wps can<br />

be attributed to <strong>the</strong> resistance in flexion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> elements surrounding <strong>the</strong> panel.<br />

This resistance can be approximated by springs at <strong>the</strong> four corners whose stiffness<br />

is that corresponding to rotations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> column flanges concentrated at each<br />

corner. When <strong>the</strong> boundaries <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> panel zone are assumed to be rigid, <strong>the</strong> post-<br />

elastic stiffness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> joint, attributable to <strong>the</strong> four springs, is computed as:<br />

Where <strong>the</strong> steel column web is encased in concrete <strong>the</strong> design shear resistance <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> panel may be increased with <strong>the</strong> contribution <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> inner concrete strut Vccs,<br />

that is <strong>the</strong> design shear resistance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> concrete encasement to <strong>the</strong> web panel.<br />

The concrete compression strut, shown in Figure 5.15b, is similar to <strong>the</strong><br />

mechanism used to model shear in a reinforced concrete connection. In composite<br />

connections, <strong>the</strong> concrete compression strut could be mobilized in resisting <strong>the</strong><br />

connection shear ei<strong>the</strong>r due to <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> horizontal stiffener plates<br />

welded to <strong>the</strong> column or due to <strong>the</strong> friction <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> flexural forces acting in <strong>the</strong> steel<br />

column flange. In case <strong>of</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> stiffener plates, <strong>the</strong> location <strong>and</strong> width <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong>se determine how effectively <strong>the</strong> concrete strut is mobilized. The shear<br />

resistance <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> moment resistance for <strong>the</strong> concrete compression strut are<br />

calculated as follows:<br />
