Various investigator have proposed different shape and expressions for an idealized curve in place of the actual stress-strain curve for concrete under axial compression =strain at any point =stress at any point 0= strain at which parabolic part ends (Limit of Elasticity=0.002as per IS code o= idealized maximum stress corresponding to 0

The effect of size and shape of test specimen with that of actual structural member in flexure is taken into account. Partial safety factor of 1.5 is applied to get the design curve

Stress-Strain Relationship (For Steel)

Reinforcing steel consists of bars, usually circular in cross section.

These are, at present, available in three different grades: Fe250 Fe415 Fe500 Here, Fe refers to ferrous metal Number refers to the specified guaranteed yield stress in N/mm2. Types of Reinforcement: Based on physical and mechanical properties such as: 1. Ductility 2. Yield strength Following three types of steel reinforcements are used in RC construction: Plain round bar of mild steel Deformed bars of high grade steel

1. Plain Round bars of Mild-Steel They are usually of mild steel (grade Fe250) conforming to IS: 432 They have a well defined yield point giving yield stress of 250N/mm2 Excellent ductility with percentage elongation at failure not less than 23% Guaranteed weldability

Stress Strain curve for mild steel specimen

For mild steel, the stress is proportional to strain up to yield point. Thereafter rate of increase of strain is more than of stress, reaching the maximum stress. The necking continues to form with reduction of stress and increase in strain. Finally the test specimen breaks. For the purpose of analysis an idealized curve is drawn in place of actual stress-strain curve.

Stress Strain curve for HYSD Bars

HYSD bars do not show a definite yield point. Therefore, to obtain the yield stress of HYSD bar it is subjected to tension test Following procedure should be followed: 1. Plot the stress-strain graph from reading of load taken corresponding to elongation. 2. Draw a initial tangent from the origin to the stress-strain curve. 3. At a strain of 0.002, draw a straight line parallel to initial tangent. 4. The y-coordinate of the point where it cuts the stress-strain curve represent the yield stress of HYSD bar.

Stress Strain curve for HYSD Bars

As the name indicates the high yield strength of deformed bars have much high yield point. But the yield point is not well defined. The bars are either hot rolled from steel billets or by cold working. In the cold working process the bars having deformation are cold twisted. Twisting is continued till the strains are in the elasto-plastic range and then unloaded. The high strength deforms bars shall conform to IS: 1786.

Stress Strain curve for HYSD Bars

These bars have following advantages: Because of the high yield strength the quantity of steel required in RC work is reduced. Since the difference in its cost compared to mild steel is marginal there is reduction in the overall cost of RC construction. HYSD bar have very good bond with concrete than mild steel so that they may be placed without end hook and resulting in saving in steel. By cold working the strength of the bar is increased in a radially symmetrical pattern. Each bar is severely tested for defects.

These bars have following disadvantages: With increase in stress level the cracking tendency increases. So, for Fe550 or higher grade of steel it becomes necessary to use high grade concrete. Due to reduction in percentage of tension steel, the design shear strength of concrete is reduced.

Stress Strain curve for HYSD Bars

Codal Provisions & Design Criteria: For HYSD bars the stress is proportional to a strain upto a stress of 0.8fy Thereafter the curve is nonlinear. It attains the yield stress at a strain of 0.002+fy/Es Here, the first part of 0.002 is an inelastic strain and the later part is an elastic strain. The inelastic strain of 0.002 is added to the elastic strain so that there is sufficient yielding of steel before failure. Applying partial safety factor of steel as 1.15, the design stress, fyd=fy/1.15 = 0.87fy is adopted

Codal Provisions & Design Criteria: Thus, the design stress-strain curve is linear upto design stress of 0.87fy/1.15. And nonlinear till it reaches a value fy/1.15 at a strain of 0.002+0.87fy/Es The modulus of elasticity of steel is taken equal to 2,00,000N/mm2 or in short 2E5 Mpa

Characteristic Strength and Characteristic Load

The structure is normally designed to provide safety against collapse... The failure occurs when the load acting on the structure exceed its strength. Thus, the load and the strength of material become the two basic design parameters which decide the safety of the structure. Since both these factors are totally independent of each other, Hence, they need separate treatment in the process of determination of safety Each of the above factors have hardly ever a constant value. Value is prone to variation and that is its characteristic value. Since collapse of a structure is related to simultaneous occurrence of overload and understrength, The value to be assigned to the load has to be that value which has minimum acceptable probability of not being exceeded during the life time of the structure. And the material strength has to be that value which has maximum reliability. The characteristic strength of material is that value of material strength below which not more than a minimum acceptable percentage (5% as per IS Codes) of test results are expected to fail

Characteristic Strength and Characteristic Load

The characteristic strength of material is that value of material strength below which not more than a minimum acceptable percentage (5% as per IS Codes) of test results are expected to fail It means that characteristic strength has 95% reliability OR There is only 5% probability of actual strength being less than the characteristic strength. The characteristic value of quantity to variation is obtained from frequency distribution curve
