The elasto-plastic analysis of reinforced concrete square columns was introduced to study the relationship between lateral force and curvature by using the open source program OpenSees. A pseudo static test on the inverted "T" shape reinforced concrete square column was conducted for the comparative analysis. The results indicated that the lateral force calculated by program agree with experimental data with an axial load ratio of 0.33. The calculated yield lateral force was 29.7 kN, the error was lower than 7% compared with experimental results. In addition, the cross-section curvature were obtained, which were difficult to obtain through the traditional experimental study, the calculated yield curvature was 1.825×10-5. The calculated results with different axial load ratios were presented in this paper, which showed that both the yield lateral force and curvature of reinforced concrete square columns were increased with low axial load ratio, and at the same time it could reduce some experimental work by using computer simulation.

It is presented the formulation and solution of the load bearing capacity of statically indeterminable systems “reinforced concrete beam – deformable base” by spatial cross-sections under force and deformation effects. The solution of problem is currently practically absent in general form. It has been established the relationship between stresses and strains of compressed concrete and tensile reinforcement in the form of diagrams. The properties of the base model connections are described based on a variable rigidity coefficient. It is constructed a system of n equations in the form of the initial parameters method with using the modules of the force (strain) action vector. The equations of state are the dependences that establish the relationship between displacements which are acting on the beam with load. Constants of integration are determined by recurrent formulas. It makes possible to obtain the method of initial parameters in the expanded form and, consequently, the method of displacements for calculating statically indefinable systems. The values of the effort obtained could be used to determine the curvature and rigidity of the sections in this way. It is necessary not to set the vector modulusP, the deformation is set in any section (the module is considered as an unknown) during the problem is solving. This allows us to obtain an unambiguous solution even in the case when the dependence M–χ has a downward section, i.e one value of moment can correspond to two values of curvature.

The neutral axis change along with axial load ratio, load angle, section size etc. For the neutral axis of SRCLSC(steel reinforced concrete L-shaped column) is neither plumb with the plane that the moment work on, nor parallel with borderlines of SRCLSC section, it is difficult to get loading capacity and ductility of SRCLSC on biaxial eccentric loading. Based on the plane-section assumption, a method for the nonlinear analysis of complete response process for ductility of 15 SRCLSC..It include 36 sets for load angle, 6 sets for axial load ratio, 3 sets for concrete strength, 3 sets for the content of steel, 2 sets for steel style, 3 sets for stirrup ratio, 3 sets for steel location, 3 sets for section size, 3 sets for stirrup diameter about SRCLSC. The ductile behavior of L-shaped, with calculating 1068 loading conditions,are investigated. It concluded that axial load ratio, load angle, and ratio of the spacing of stirrups and longitudinal reinforcement’s diameter (s/d) are most important factors.

Experimental research activities and post-earthquake considerations have demonstrated that reinforcedconcrete columns with light or widely spaced transverse reinforcement are vulnerable to shear failure duringearthquakes. According to this point by using failure limit curve, we can assess the effective parameters in shearand axial failure of reinforced concrete columns in framed buildings. In the current study by flexural, shear andaxial springs which are used in series, shear and axial failures and important effective parameters have beenassessed, Besides 5,10 and 15 story models with different amounts of initial axial load ratio have been analyzedby nonlinear push-over analysis. The results of analytical models contain behavior of buildings based on differentinitial axial load ratio and different spacing of transverse reinforcement are compared

This paper investigates the seismic failure modes and horizontal deformation capacity of reinforced concrete square columns based on the pseudo-static test. The controlled variables include shear aspect ratio, axial load ratio and stirrup spacing. The seismic failure modes, the inelastic deformation capacity after yielding and the deformation components due to flexure, shear and anchorage slip of the RC columns were analyzed, especially flexural-shear failure. The results show that decreasing shear aspect ratio, or increasing axial load or stirrup spacing can result in the change of column failure mode from flexural failure to flexural- shear failure or shear failure, the pinching of hysteresis loops, the reductions of hysteresis loop area and deformation capacity. With the increase of total displacement, all three displacement components increased; the contribution of flexure displacement in total displacement reduced, the contribution of shear displacement increased, the contribution of anchorage slip displacement changed in the range of 30%- 40%.

This paper aims at detailed investigation on the relationship between half-cell potentials and load carrying capacity of corroded RC beam-column joints. There are four specimens in the test with the corrosion rate to 0%, 3%, 9% and 15%. Results show that the potentials of normal joint are larger than that of corroded damaged joints. As the corrosion rate of joints increases, load carrying capacity and half-cell potentials decrease. Analytical method based on the values of half-cell potentials to evaluate the load carrying capacity of corroded joint is presented. Comparing the analytical and experimental results, the proposed method can predict the load carrying capacity of corroded reinforced concrete beam-column joints.

Based on the experiment of eight reinforced concrete T-shaped columns under low cyclic load, the factors which affect bearing capacity and seismic behavior, such as limb length, axial load ratio, stirrup ratio and the arrangement of longitudinal bars, etc., are analyzed. Tests results show that the bearing capacity of the columns increases, but the ductility is decreased with an increase of axial load ratio. The bearing capacity of T-shaped column increases when the web gets longer, while its deformability and ductility decrease. Besides, increase of stirrup ratio and longitudinal bars in the end of the web also have effect on the ductility of the columns.

Based on the basic requirements of current Guidelines for Seismic Design of Highway Bridges, the orthogonal quasi-static test of four factors (shear-span ratio, longitudinal reinforcement diameter, axial-load ratio and spiral reinforcement ratio) at three different levels for circular reinforced concrete bridge columns has been designed. With test data the damage state, displacement ductility, capacity of accumulative energy dissipation to ultimate displacement state of bridge columns subjected to low-cyclic loading have been analyzed systematically so as to investigate effects of factors such as shear-span ratio, axial-load ratio, longitudinal reinforcement ratio and spiral reinforcement ratio on ductility performance of bridge columns.
