A Hysteresis Model for Reinforced Concrete Space Frame Structures

Abstract

dc:description

A hysteresis model to simulate the behavior of reinforced concrete columns subjected to biaxial bending and varying axial load is proposed. The model, identified as the U-model, is based on cross-sectional properties. The U-model combines the Otani's modification of the Clough model and the Ziegler hardening rule of plasticity theory. Other relationships between lateral forces and stiffnesses are also included in the formulation. A change of yielding surface size is used to account for axial load variations.
