TY  - JOUR
AB  - This paper is concerned with the inelastic behaviour of reinforced concrete beam-column members incorporating   rubber   from   recycled   tyres.   Detailed   three-dimensional   nonlinear   numerical simulations and parametric assessmentsare carried out using finite element analysis in conjunction with  concrete  damage  plasticity  models.  Validationsof  the  adopted  nonlinear  finite  element procedures arecarried out against experimental results from a series of tests involvingconventional and  rubberised  concrete flexural  members and  varying  levels  of  axial  load. The  influence  of  key parameters, such as the concrete strength, rubber content, reinforcement ratio and level of axial load, on the  performance  of  such  members,  is  then  examined  in  detail.Based  on  the results,  analytical models are proposed for predicting the strength interaction as well as the ductility characteristicsof rubberised reinforced concrete members. The findings permit the development ofdesignexpressionsfor determiningthe ultimate  rotation  capacityof  members,usinga rotation  ductility  parameter,  or through a suggestedplastic hinge assessment procedure. Theproposedexpressionsare shown to offer reliable estimates  of  strength  and  ductilityof  reinforced  rubberised  concrete  members,whichare suitable for practical application and implementation in codified guidance.
