Nonlinear Analysis on Stainless Steel Reinforced Concrete Columns under Low-Cyclic Load

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to study the elastic-plastic mechanics properties of the stainless steel reinforced concrete columns under low-cyclic load, the engineering open-source earthquake simulation system OpenSees is used to carry out the numerical simulation. The comparison between the computed results and the pseudo-static test results shows that the OpenSees may stimulate the mechanical properties of the stainless steel reinforced concrete columns by using the fiber element model, both of the skeleton curves and hysteretic curves are well agreement with the tests results.
