in the rotations of the member near the joint, its (member's) moment

In the post-yielding stage, the beam behaviour near the
joint with respect to its moment-rotation curve was different from
that of an identical section in a simply supported beam. Except for
specimens B.7 and B.8 no other specimen reached the value of theoretical
ultimate moment (see section 6.3).
Fig. 6.26 shows that, whereas the hinge rotations for the
specimens B.1 - B.3 exceeded that of A.1, none of the three specimens
reached the theoretical ultimate moment. For the three specimens
For specimens B.2 and B.3, the ultimate rotation was approximately
twice the value obtained from specimen A.1.
The post-yield behaviour of specimens B.S, B.6 and B.9
was similar to that of specimen B.2 or B.3. The rotation increased

example .
'specimens B.1, B.2 and B.3 carrying minimum amount of tension

blocks (B.1, B.7) developed the maximum rotation (0BJ) in each specimen

(and A.1). Similarly, B.9 developed rotation greater than B.7 and B.8.

CHAPTER 7
7.1 Object
During the testing of specimens in series 'B', it.was observed
that the joint block plays an important part in the behaviour of a
plastic hinge developing there. In six specimens (B.l - B.3, B.S,
B.6 and B.9) the beam members did not reach their ultimate flexural
strength because of premature failure within the joint.block. For
these specimens, the hinge rotations, generally, exceeded the values·
obtained from relevant beam tests in series 'A'. In two other specime~s
(B.7 and B.8) the 'final' beam moment was approximately equal to the
ultimate flexural strength, but the hinge rotations were less than
those observed in similar simply supported beam specimens (A. 3, A.6)".
In view of the uncertain characteristics of the hinges when they depend

strength of the beam and has predictable characteristics .. It was
B.9 respectively, but were provided with extra reinfor~ement in the form
of vertical or diagonal ties in the joint block. The thickness of
the concrete cover was also increased from 3/4 in. to 1-3/4 in. along
the beam member and horizontal face of the joint block. Concrete cover
and longitudinal ties are effective in increasing the splitting
resistance of concrete.
It was decided to study specimens similar to B.7 B.9
beam.
The reinforcement in ~he joint block was required to prevent.
the opening of a 45° crack and also to prevent splitting along the
0
top bars. In specimen C.7, closed stirrups normal to the 45 crack
were tried (Fig. 7.la). In specimens C.8 and C.9, vertical stirrups
were used (Fig. 7.lb and c). These would best hold down the top bars
and would also be easier to place in practice.

PROPOSED METHOD FOR THEORETICAL EVALUATION
OF MOMENT-ROTATION CHARACTERISTICS
8.1 Introduction
The experimental work carried out in this investigation
(series 'A', '8' and 'C') indicates that the moment-rotation character-
istics of members near joints are different than those of simply
supported beams. The existing methods (Refs. 1.2, 1.8, 1.~, 2.13)

its use for the mid-span and the corner hinges observed in the test
and a hinge model can be best defined by the crack pattern in the hinge
subjected to bending and shear. Two types of hinges are defined for
flexural members (Ref. 2.3, 2.23):
e -
...
A FLEXURAL CRACK HINGE may develop in a beam segment in which
bending moment i's predominant and shearing force is zero or small.
Fig. 8.2 shows the model of a flexural crack hinge, which consists of
equally spaced vertical cracks. The length of the hinge along the
member is the distance over which inelastic deformations occur (M > M)
y.
and is obtained from the bending moment diagram at ultimate load. If
the hinge segment is divided into "n" equal elements, then the hinge
rotation is the sum of the rotations of the individual elements

While on. the tension side, at the

Fig. 8.5 shows the position of ~inging length, number and
position of different elements and Me - ae relationships for these

In the ascending branch of the M-8 curve for the member hinging
length, different points can be plotted by considering the bending
branch. The other elements in the hinging segment which have not yet
reached their ultimate moments will then follow their unloading curves.
Therefore, in the descending branch of M-8 curve for the hinge, the total
rotation (considering element no. 1 to enter descending branch) wilf be:

For calculating the rotations at ultimate moment (point 'U')
a fully developed shear crack hinge is considered (Fig. 8.3). The
hinge is assumed to consist of n-1 inclined (shear crack) elements and
one flexural crack element (element no. 1 in Fig. 8.3).
Fig. 8.6 shows a shear crack element (shaded). On the tension
side its length is assumed equal to the average crack spacing 1 S '
ave
and the length of the crack. For the analysis of a shear crack element
in this investigation, it is assumed that the·component of-deformation

(i) The part of the hinge present in the member.
The analysis for the portion in the joint block can be carried
out by considering the shear and bond resistance of the block. The
strength of the joint block and therefore, the position of the inclined
due to splitting are assumed to be those observed during the actua! tests.
In the beam members, however, the cracks are spread according to the
calculated spacing.
The inclusion of shear reinforcement changes the shape o.f
the hinge in the joint block. For calculating the rotations in such
specimens (series 'C') some use of the experimental observations was
194
'
made in that some secondary cracks were included in the hinge model.
8.7 Application of Proposed Method to the Test Specimens .
The moment-rotation characteristics of the hinging regions
in the test specimens were determined by the method outlined in the
previous sections. Only the ascending branch of the M-0 curve was
obtained. This was then compared with the experimental results.
