Shear-torsion-bending interaction in RC beams according to NBR 6118/2014 and AASHTO LRFD 2014

abstract: Reinforced concrete beams are subjected to bending, torsion and shear simultaneously. The interaction of combined loading is complex and demands a unified model for analysis and design. Using the models from NBR 6118/2014 (variable angle truss model with parallel chords) and AASHTO LRFD Br...

description abstract: Reinforced concrete beams are subjected to bending, torsion and shear simultaneously. The interaction of combined loading is complex and demands a unified model for analysis and design. Using the models from NBR 6118/2014 (variable angle truss model with parallel chords) and AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications 2014 (Modified Compression Field Theory), an algorithm was created, converting the resistance problem into a constrained optimization problem and generating an interaction surface that also displays the active constraints for each degree of interaction. Applying it to three beams previously tested, the experimental data was plotted against the surface obtained by the standards. The procedure and its optimization approach were efficient and effective in predicting the beams’ resistance. Comparison between the interaction surfaces, empirical data and existing literature showed the procedure and the standards were consistent and its application simple and practical.
