Non-Linear Numerical Simulation on Mechanical Behaviour of Steel Reinforced Concrete (SRC) Columns

Abstract:

In order to study the mechanics properties to of concrete columns with embedded steel, analysis models of SRC columns are established by using finite element software ABAQUS. Firstly, in order to validate the rationality of the analytical model, the test specimens are modeled, the results obtained from the finite element and experimental analyses are compared to each other, it is found that the finite element behavior indicates a good agreement with the experimental behavior. Furthermore, the ductility and ultimate capacity of SRC columns are studied with the changes of steel bone ratio and the axial compressive ratio. Analytical results demonstrate that embedded steel improves the ductility of SRC columns with large axial compressive ratio and steel bone ratios have obvious effect on ductility and ultimate capacity of SRC columns. The study results have some value on the design and application of the SRC columns.
