Development of Seismic Performance for Reinforced Concrete Members with Earthquake-Resistant Steel Bar

Abstract eng:
Center for High-Tech Research, Fukuyama University (High-Tech Research Center for Structural and Material Developments) was established in 1999 by the grant from Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan. It was researched with the improvements in seismic performance of structures, especially for materials and structures. In 2004, Ministry accepted the continuing project proposal of the center. A group of faculty member of the department of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Mechanical Engineering is now studying on a common theme "Research Project on Improvements in Seismic Performance of Structures" from various aspect of research. In this project, the influence which a few coefficients determine a mechanical performance of main bars do to earthquake energy consumption in formation of the plastic hinge of RC members is considered. Then Earthquake-Resistant Steel was developed in this Center. This paper describes the characteristics of this steel and the application examples in Reinforced Concrete members.
