Failure Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Column Using Cohesive and Adhesive Interfaces

Abstract:

This study examines the performance of adhesive and cohesive interfacial crack model in assessing the brittle shear behavior of reinforced concrete bridge columns. The quarter-scale reinforced concrete columns tested at the University of California at San Diego by Xiao et al. (1993) to explore the ductility of reinforced concrete columns under cyclic loading. The three columns R-1, R-3 and R-5 with different transverse reinforcement are considered for finite element failure analysis.
