Several parameters and corresponding performance of reinforced concrete column cross-sections of different shapes (square, rectangular, circular, T-shape, I-shape, cross-shape, L-shape and C-shape) under various loading conditions have been studied in order to determine the suitable and optimum cross-sections for strength and ductility. In each cross-section shape, parameters include compressive strength of concrete (f’c), tensile strength of steel (fy), steel ratio (As/Ag), and angle of bending. In order to demonstrate the behavior and performance of the sections in terms of strength and ductility, CSISectionBuilder software was used to define the stress-strain curve for concrete and steel and then compute the moment-curvature relationship for each section. Considering different sections, the number of parameters in every section and various loading conditions, a total of around 1,800 sections were analyzed. The comparison procedures started within each section shape, and then across different sections in order to determine the most suitable cross-section for strength and ductility. Results of the study are deemed very useful in the system selection and preliminary design of important structures such as buildings with complicated geometry and high architectural demand including bridge piers and hydraulic structures.

This article proposes a new connection between a steel bearing and a reinforced concrete column, which is mainly used for provisionally providing jack support in existing reinforced concrete structures. In this suggested connection joint, the steel bearing consisted of two or four symmetrical components assembled by high-strength bolts, which surrounds the reinforced concrete column by a tapered tube and balances the vertical load via the friction force between the tapered tube and concrete, that is, through a self-locking mechanism. The proposed connection joint can be assembled easily at a construction site and can also be disassembled and reused many times. To demonstrate the feasibility of this type of connection joint, a simple test was conducted to illustrate the concept, that is, a total of four medium-scale steel bearing–reinforced concrete column connections with circular cross sections were fabricated and tested under axial loading. The test results showed that the steel bearing–reinforced concrete column connection based on self-locking mechanism exhibited good working performance. Furthermore, a simplified formula to predict the axial stiffness of the connection joint was presented. From the tests and the proposed formula, the most important factors that influence the axial stiffness of this type of connection joint on the premise of an elastic working state are the slope of the tapered tube, the height of the steel bearing, the thickness of the tapered tube, the cross section of the reinforced concrete column, the cross-sectional area of all the connecting bolts, the proportion of the number of top bolts, the area of the top ring plate, and the effective contact area ratio.

This paper reports the investigation on the fire resistance performance of reinforced concrete column with embedded permanent formwork from woodwool board (WWCB). A series of slender column embedded with and without WWCB with cross-sections 200 mm x 200 mm for column without WWCB and 300 mm x 300 mm with embedded 50 mm thick WWCB. The height of the slender column was 2000 mm. The fire resistance test was performed in accordance with BS 476-22:1987 for two (2) hours fire exposure. The fire resistance test for the embedded column with WWCB was classified as “good” in resisting fire and heat transfer.

Based on the fact that building material strength degeneration rules in domestic and overseas are different under the high-temperature fire, with the program ANSYS, the temperature stress distribution of cross-section is obtained and the two results are compared according to stress analysis of numerical simulation on the axial compression steel reinforced concrete column (ACSRCC) under high-temperature fire. Based on the conversion principle of different materials stress and the superposition principle, the numerical calculation method on cross-section stress of ACSRCC under high-temperature fire is proposed, and the calculated results agree with simulation data well. The influences of the concrete coverage thickness and other factors on ACSRCC mechanical properties under high-temperature fire are also discussed in the paper.

This test was investigated on the compression failure in eccentric reinforced concrete square cross-section. In total twelve different scale specimens were eccentrically compressed with size of: 200×200mm; 400×400mm; 800×800mm. specimens were divided into 3 groups with 4 each. Only six columns have been investigated in this paper thus a column by eccentricity. The main point were based on the existence of size effect phenomenon on cross-section components collapsed with different sizes to the ultimate bearing capacity and the cross-section strain, ductility, deflection, and other failure characteristics. Analysis of the experimental data’s showed that the size effect phenomenon exists.

Hollow due to plumbing system has an effect to the building's visual and the aesthetic quality in terms of architecture. To overcome this, the pipe is planted in a construction structure such as a column. However, this will affect on the strength degradation and modes of failure of structural elements such as a column. The objective of this research is to study the strength, stiffness, ductility, cracking patterns, and modes of failure of hollow RC columns with square cross-section with various load eccentricity and concrete strength. In this research, 13 reinforced concrete columns with square cross section were made. Two of them were massive columns (C1E1, C1E2) with cross-sectional dimension of 150 x 150 mm2 and 800 mm long, six of them were hollow with the same size (C2E1, C3E1, C4E1, C2E2, C3E2, C4E2). Concrete strength fc'=34.52 MPa with eccentricity=60mm  and fc'=35.72 MPa with eccentricity 100 mm. Models were analyzed by nonlinear finite element method using ATENA v.2.1.10 software. The FE model is calibrated against recent experimental results from Zacoeb (2003). Once validated, the model is used to examine stiffness, ductility, cracking patterns, and modes of failure of hollow RC columns with a square cross-section with various load eccentricity. The numerical results show that the different ultimate load strength of C1E1, C2E1, C3E1, C4E1, C1E2, C2E2, C3E2, C4E2 are  0,32%, 2,22%, 1,61%, 7,74%, 1,25%, 0,65%, 2,63%, 1,94%, while the differents stiffnes are 18,30%, 21,30%, 23,79%, 31,57%, 15,22%, 22,67%, 21,39%, 14,41%, and the differents ductility are 48,71%, 33,64%, 3,39%, 41,04%, 52,30%, 22,99%, 18,11%, 7,76%. Crack pattern occurred in C1E1, C2E1, C3E1, C4E1, C1E2, C2E2, C3E2, C4E2 are flexural crack and shear cracks. Exhibit modes of failure of C1E1, C2E1, C3E1, C4E1 are compression failure and C1E2, C2E2, C3E2, C4E2 are tension failure.Keywords: ATENA, columns, eccentricity, failure, hollow, nonlinearANALISIS NON-LINEAR KOLOM BETON BERTULANG PENAMPANG SEGIEMPAT BERONGGA DENGAN VARIASI EKSENTRISITAS BEBAN DAN MUTU BETONLubang akibat pemasangan pipa pada konstruksi untuk keperluan instalasi (air hujan, sanitasi, listrik dan lain-lain) dapat berpengaruh pada visualitas bangunan dan akan mempengaruhi kualitas estetika dari segi arsitektur. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut pipa ditanam didalam struktur konstruksi seperti kolom. Akan tetapi hal ini akan  menyebabkan  degradasi kekuatan beton dan  pola keruntuhan struktur pada kolom. Selain secara eksperimental, penelitian  ini dapat juga dilakukan secara numeris menggunakan  metode elemen hingga nonlinier. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kekuatan, kekakuan, daktilitas, pola retak dan model keruntuhan kolom beton bertulang penampang persegi berongga dengan variasi eksentrisitas beban dan variasi mutu beton. Dalam penelitian ini dimodelkan 8 jenis kolom beton bertulang penampang segiempat yang terdiri dari 2 kolom masif (C1E1 dan C1E2) dan 6 kolom berongga (C2E1, C3E1, C4E1, C2E2, C3E2, C4E2) dengan ukuran 150 x 150 mm2, panjang 800 mm. Mutu beton fc'=34.52 MPa dengan eksentrisitas =60mm dan mtu beton fc'=35.72 MPa dengan eksentrisitas =100mm. Kolom dianalisis menggunakan software elemen hingga nonlinier ATENA V.2.1.10 dan hasilnya dibandingkan dengan hasil eksperimen sebelumnya  dari Zacoeb (2003). Setelah  model divalidasi, dilakukan perhitungan kekakuan, daktilitas, pengamatan pola retak dan jenis keruntuhan yang terjadi pada kolom penampang segiempat berongga dengan variasi eksentrisitas beban . Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kolom beton bertulang  berongga yang dimodelkan dengan ATENA yaitu untuk model kolom validasi C1E1, C2E1, C3E1, C4E1, C1E2, C2E2, C3E2, C4E2 mempunyai perbedaan beban maksimum dengan hasil eksperimen secara berturut-turut sebesar 0,32%, 2,22%, 1,61%, 7,74%, 1,25%, 0,65%, 2,63% dan 1,94%, dengan perbedaan kekakuan secara berturut-turut sebesar 18,30%, 21,30%, 23,79%, 31,57%, 15,22%, 22,67%, 21,39% dan 14,41%, dan perbedaan daktilitas  secara berturut-turut sebesar 48,71%, 33,64%, 3,39%, 41,04%, 52,30%, 22,99%, 18,11% dan 7,76%. Pola retak yang terjadi adalah pola retak lentur dan retak geser.  Pola keruntuhan pada C1E1, C2E1, C3E1, C4E1 merupakan keruntuhan tekan, sedangkan C1E2, C2E2, C3E2, C4E2  merupakan keruntuhan tarik.Kata-Kata kunci: ATENA, berlubang, eksentrisitas, keruntuhan, kolom, nonlinear.REFERENCESCervenka et al.
