Effect of longitudinal joint on the shear-key of hollow core slab which function as an rigid diaphragm

Various types of reinforced concrete floors can be applied to building construction. The floor of the building can be made of cast in place or precast concrete. The floors should function as a rigid diaphragm, in order to distribute the lateral forces on the building frame. While the floor is made of precast concrete, especially those without overtopping, should be arranged in such a way to function as a diaphragm. In order for the precast slab can function as a diaphragm, the components must be connected to the building frame and between the component itself . Some of them are drag strut, boundary element (chord), transverse joint, collector and longitudinal joint. This paper will discuss the influence of the longitudinal joint shear key with some types. The test specimen is modeled as two HCS are mounted parallel to each other , then the both of HCS are combined with perimeter beams to obtain the same model with the actual conditions and simplify to execute. All models of the test specimen are made to represent the three types of shear key. The test specimen is loaded the shear force and observed the structure behavior and crack patterns

Numerical model for investigating seismic performance of Prestressed Hollow Concrete (PHC) piles with Fiber section element

In the medium to high seismic zone, prestressed hollow concrete (PHC) pile for structural foundation should be designed with elastic behavior due to low ductility and dissipated energy. However, some Indonesian practical engineer has chosen PHC pile for pile-supported slab viaduct (PSSV) with medium seismic moment-resisting frame concept in a high-risk earthquake zone. Therefore, some nonlinear numerical simulations of PSSV structure in medium to high seismic zone need to be conducted to investigate its seismic performance. In the initial stage, a numerical model for investigating the seismic performance of PHC pile under flexural test was conducted. By implementing an appropriate plastic hinge length of forced beam-column with hinge elements, the flexural behavior of PHC piles to be simulated under both monotonic and cyclic loading. The fiber section was adopted to accommodate non-linear behaviour of material in the PHC pile cross section. As the results, the skeleton curves, the sectional strain distributions, and the hysteresis curves have good agreement results compared with the experimental results. Furthermore, based on the equal damping ratio calculation of the hysteresis curve, the PHC pile only achieve low energy dissipation, though the ductility capacity around 3. Finally, this numerical model approach could be adopted in the non-linear simulation of PSSV structure under seismic load
