Abstract:

The elasto-plastic analysis of reinforced concrete square columns was introduced to study the relationship between lateral force and curvature by using the open source program OpenSees. A pseudo static test on the inverted "T" shape reinforced concrete square column was conducted for the comparative analysis. The results indicated that the lateral force calculated by program agree with experimental data with an axial load ratio of 0.33. The calculated yield lateral force was 29.7 kN, the error was lower than 7% compared with experimental results. In addition, the cross-section curvature were obtained, which were difficult to obtain through the traditional experimental study, the calculated yield curvature was 1.825×10-5. The calculated results with different axial load ratios were presented in this paper, which showed that both the yield lateral force and curvature of reinforced concrete square columns were increased with low axial load ratio, and at the same time it could reduce some experimental work by using computer simulation.
