Abstract
Reinforced concrete elements with a rectangular section are commonly used in frame structural buildings and bridges. Such reinforced concrete structures failed often with the force combination of axial load, bending, shear and torsion caused by wind and earthquake. However, there is little research on four loading combinations: (1) tension/compression; (2) bending; (3) shear; and (4) torsion, especially for the axial force effects on the failure mechanism and bearing capacity of reinforced concrete members. In this paper, a theoretical study and deduction of the unified failure model on the reinforced concrete members with rectangular section under combined axial force, bending, shear and torsion were carried out with the ultimate equilibrium theory. The results of a theoretical analysis were compared with the experimental results of RC members under combined loading actions. Both the theoretical results and test results showed good correlation.
