Estimation of monotonic behavior of reinforced concrete columns considering shear‐flexure‐axial load interaction

SUMMARY Reinforced concrete columns with insufficient transverse reinforcement and non-seismic reinforcement details are vulnerable to brittle shear failure and to loss of axial load carrying capacity in the event of a strong earthquake. In this paper, a procedure is presented after examining the application of two macro models for displacement-based analysis of reinforced concrete columns subjected to lateral loads. In the proposed model, lateral load-deformation response of the column is simulated by estimating flexural and shear deformation components separately while considering their interaction and then combining these together according to a set of rules depending upon column's yield, flexural and shear strengths. In addition, lateral deformation caused by reinforcement slip in beam–column joint regions and buckling of compression bars are taken into account and considered in the analysis. Implementation of the proposed procedure produces satisfactory lateral load–displacement relationships, which are comparable with experimental data. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
