Buckling Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Columns under Biaxial Loading

2축 휨을 받는 철근 콘크리트 기둥의 좌굴거동

A numerical method for perdicting the behavior of a reinforced concrete column under biaxial loading is proposed, using the layered finite element method. Concrete is assumed to exhibit strain softening and steel reinforcement is elastic-plastic. The bending theory assumptions are used and bond slip of reinforcement is meglected. To perdict the entire load-deformation characteristics, displacement control method is used. This method consider not only combined effect due to axial load and bending moment but also that due to bending moments. Predicted behaviors of reinforced concrete columns under biaxial loading through the numerical method proposed in this study show good agreements with test results.
