Concrete jacketing is one of the most common retrofitting techniques for concrete columns. However, the stress transmission mechanisms of this system are still not fully understood and appropriate design procedures are still not established. In this experimental study eight jacketed columns with different stirrup arrangements and various bonding conditions were tested in order to analyse the failure mechanisms of these members. It was observed that in rectangular columns 60% of the load is transmitted across the corners and the remaining 40% across the sides. The stress transmission from the column to the jacket depends on shear capacity at the interface. The applicability of the ACI 318-05 shear-friction model is also evaluated. According to this model, reinforcement must be provided across the contact surface to resist the relative displacement across it. Despite this limitation, it is shown that the Mattock formulation can be applied with minor modifications for the design of concrete jackets, and that the experimental results show reasonable agreement with calculated values.
RESUMENEl presente trabajo de investigación tiene como finalidad estudiar la aplicabilidad de los modelos de cálculo del ACI-08, Eurocódigo 2 y de la EHE-08 utilizados para la estimar las propiedades mecánicas del hormigón convencional, en el hormigón autocompactante. Las propiedades mecánicas estudiadas han sido: el módulo de deformación, la resistencia a tracción y la resistencia a flexotracción. Para llevar a cabo la investigación fue necesario construir una extensa base de datos que permitiera albergar en ella una gran cantidad de dosificaciones de hormigón autocompactante y un amplio rango de valores de sus propiedades mecánicas para lograr una muestra lo más representativa posible. En primera instancia se comparó el comportamiento de cada uno de estos modelos normativos de cálculo, con la curva de regresión de los datos obtenidos para el hormigón autocompactante, observando su comportamiento y adaptabilidad a los distintos modelos normativos. Posteriormente se compararon los valores experimentales y los valores medidos para estudiar la aplicabilidad de estos modelos normativos de cálculo del hormigón convencional en el hormigón autocompactante.
