【 摘 要 】

This paper investigates the behaviour of a reinforced concrete beam under a support removal. A detailed parametric analysis is carried out, covering the effect of support removal rate on dynamic response. The linear elastic and nonlinear inelastic responses are computed and studied in detail. Critical parameters during the structural response are identified. In order to determine the ultimate load, the vertical pushover analysis is performed. The key parameters driving the beam response are assumed as random variables, and respective reliability study makes it possible to check the overall uncertainty of the dynamic response. In particular, the response spectrum measuring the effect of support removal rate has been computed. It has been demonstrated that the critical vertical response occurs when the time of support removal is up to to 17% of the first natural period. The vertical pushover analysis results in obtaining capacity curves and showed the order in which two plastic hinges occur for various load patterns. Finally, the reliability-based sensitivity analysis indicates the geometric cross-section cover and height are the most sensitive parameters of the beam response.
