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

2. At least one intermediate (between column corner bars) vertical bar shall<br />

be provided at each side <strong>of</strong> a joint <strong>of</strong> primary <strong>seismic</strong> beams <strong>and</strong> columns.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> absence <strong>of</strong> more precise information, <strong>the</strong> length <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> critical region lcr may<br />

be computed as follows:<br />

Bond Failure<br />

lcr = max (hc ; lcl / 6 ; 450 mm) ( 5.41 )<br />

An idealization <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bond failure Vjoint,bf provided by <strong>the</strong> longitudinal reinforcing<br />

bars acting in friction with concrete <strong>and</strong> embedded in <strong>the</strong> outer joint region is<br />

shown in Figure 5.17. The bond failure occurs in <strong>the</strong> outer elements if <strong>the</strong><br />

compression <strong>and</strong> tension forces (due to moment equilibrium), along with <strong>the</strong> forces<br />

mobilised in <strong>the</strong> concrete compression field, are greater than <strong>the</strong> strength <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

bond mechanism <strong>of</strong> a set <strong>of</strong> main longitudinal re-bars.<br />

Figure 5.17. Bond failure mechanism<br />

The shear resistance <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> moment resistance for bond mechanism is calculated<br />

as follows:<br />
