Necessity for adaption of high-rise reinforced concrete structures’ design and practical steps of implementation through nonlinear staged analysis by consideration of long-term behavior of concrete have always been strongly recommended by researchers in recent years. Cumulative column shortening in conventional analyses is the most important consequence of neglecting the above issues. In this article, numerous modeling and extensive nonlinear staged analyses are carried out on structures with different geometrical characteristics and extremely simple empirical equations to estimate column shortening caused by creep, shrinkage and time changes of modulus of elasticity are provided in such a way that these relations can be independent of conventional parameters of ACI209R-92 regulations used in prediction of mentioned axial strains. Results obtained from validation of the proposed equations show high compliance of all proposed equations for up to 30 floors and also show accuracy of proposed shrinkage equation for the moment frame structures higher than the studied range.

Steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) columns have been widely used over the past few decades. However, very limited research has been conducted on the time-dependent behavior of these columns caused by creep and shrinkage under sustained loading. This paper presents the results of an experimental study of the long-term behavior of short SRC columns under sustained axial loading. Long-term axial deformations due to shrinkage and creep of the concrete were recorded. In analysis of the test results, time analysis of the SRC columns under sustained axial loads using the age-adjusted effective modulus method was proven to be suitable by employing the ACI 209 model for prediction of shrinkage and the CEB-FIP90 model for the prediction of creep.
