The use of non-linear methods for design of slender concrete columns by European standards. For the verification of non-linear design methods it is important to compare their results with results of experiments. Within the applied research of the Faculty of Civil Engineering at Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava in cooperation with the company ZIPP Bratislava LTD the experimental verification of the slender reinforced concrete columns was realized. In the paper the authors present the preparation and process one of three series of slender reinforced concrete columns, which were made to verify the reliability of various design methods. Columns of planned second series were designed from high performance concrete C100/115, but the material tests showed that the strength class of concrete was C70/85. The columns, subjected to axial force and bending moment were designed to fail due to loss of stability before the resistance of the critical cross-section is reached. The expected compressive strain in concrete was 1,5 ‰.

The paper presents a method of non‐linear analysis of load‐carrying capacity and deformations of reinforced concrete columns subjected to long‐term loads. Physical relationships expressing non‐linear relations between internal forces and stresses, strains and stiffness are derived on the basis of the fracture and creep theories for concrete and using non‐linear stress‐strain diagrams modified for time effects. Second‐order geometrical effects are taken into account by solving a second‐order differential equation for elements subjected to compression and bending. A number of numerical and test results are presented. The technique proposed is verified by comparison of analysis results with extensive experimental data.

Состояние проблемы. Железобетонные элементы изготавливаются, как правило, по трем основным технологиям - вибрированием, центрифугированием и виброцентрифугированием. Однако все основные расчетные зависимости для определения их несущей способности выведены, исходя из основного постулата - постоянства и равенства характеристик бетона по сечению, что реализуется лишь в вибрированных колоннах. Результаты. В рамках диаграммного подхода предложены итерационный, приближенный и упрощенный способы расчета несущей способности железобетонных вибрированных, центрифугированных и виброцентрифугированных колонн. Выводы. Расчет по диаграммному подходу показал существенно более подходящую сходимость с опытными данными, чем расчет по методике норм, а также дал лучшие результаты при использовании дифференциальных характеристик бетона, чем при использовании интегральных и, тем более, нормативных характеристик бетона. Statement of the problem. Reinforced concrete elements are typically manufactured according to three basic technologies - vibration, centrifugation and vibrocentrifugation. However, all the basic calculated dependencies for determining their bearing capacity were derived using the main postulate, i.e., the constancy and equality of the characteristics of concrete over the cross section, which is implemented only in vibrated columns. Results. Within the framework of the diagrammatic approach, iterative, approximate and simplified methods of calculating the bearing capacity of reinforced concrete vibrated, centrifuged and vibrocentrifuged columns are proposed. Conclusions. The calculation according to the diagrammatic approach showed a significantly better convergence with the experimental data than that using the method of norms, and also performs better when using differential characteristics of concrete than when employing integral and particularly standard characteristics of concrete.

Background: For reinforced concrete structures under different humid conditions, the mechanical properties of concrete are significantly affected by the moisture content, which may result in a great change of the functional performance and bearing capacity. Objective: This paper presents an experiment to investigate the influence of the moisture content on the dynamic characteristics and hysteretic behavior of reinforced concrete column. Results: The results show that the natural frequency of reinforced concrete columns increases quickly at an early stage of immersion, but there is little change when the columns are close to saturation; the difference between the natural frequencies before and after cyclic test grows as the moisture content rises. The damping ratio slightly decreases first and then increases with the increase of moisture content; the damping ratio after the cyclic test is larger than before the test due to the development of the micro-cracks. Conclusion: The trend of energy dissipation is on the rise with increasing moisture content, although at an early stage, it decreases slightly. According to the experimental result, a formula for the moisture content on the average energy dissipation of reinforced concrete columns is proposed.
