Hysteretic Model for Reinforced Concrete Columns Including the Effect of Shear and Axial Load Failure
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 135, Issue 2
Abstract
Recent strong earthquakes have shown that column failure is the primary cause of collapse in many existing older buildings and bridges. The main objective of this paper is to develop a macromodel to simulate the cyclic lateral load–deformation response of reinforced concrete columns with limited computational effort. Flexural, longitudinal bar slip, and shear deformations are predicted under monotonic lateral loads, including the effects of strength decay and stiffness degradation. Using these monotonic responses as envelopes or primary curves, cyclic responses corresponding to these three deformation components are calculated. The column under consideration is classified into one of five categories considering the potential for flexural, shear, or axial load failure. Individual cyclic responses then are combined to obtain the total lateral response of the column based on its identified failure mode. Comparison of predicted cyclic response and experimental data showed that the proposed model is sufficiently accurate.
