Reliability-Based Assessment of Design Code Provisions for Circular CFT Stub Columns

The design of single angle columns requires the ability to predict their flexural-torsional buckling strengths and flexural buckling strengths about the minor principal axis. Present design code provisions are quite different. This paper presents close approximations for the elastic critical load of equal angle section columns. It is found that the member capacities are less than the minor axis capacity at low slenderness and almost remain constant. A formula of the balance point is proposed which is simpler and better understanding.

Code Provisions

A summary is given of the provisions for both circular and rectangular confining steel in potential plastic hinge zones of columns, as specified in the seismic codes of various countries. In particular, a comparison is made between New Zealand and overseas recommendations. The background to the confining steel provisions recommended in the draft SANZ Concrete Design Code is outlined.
