Reinforced Concrete Pipe Columns: Behavior and Design
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 110, Issue 6
Abstract
The results of a series of 14 full‐scale tests on reinforced concrete pipe columns are reported. For each of these tests, a complete set of synchronously measurements, covering the entire range of loading, are acquired. The tests were controlled by deflection increments when the loads were near and beyond the maximum, or peak value. These data are utilized in developing a design method for reinforced concrete pipe columns. Based on the 14 full‐scale tests, the mechanics of progressive failure of reinforced concrete pipe columns is demonstrated through the explanation of the maximum load point, or the point, which represents the nonlinear stability load of a column, and the maximum strength point, or the point, which corresponds to the ultimate strength of the critical cross section. Based on the difference of the point and the point, a deflection formula to estimate the maximum load carrying capacity of a reinforced concrete pipe column is presented. It is recommended, as an alternative method, for the design of reinforced concrete pipe columns.
