Abstract: Simulated seismic load tests conducted on 11 reinforced concrete columns are described. The columns had a 400‐mm (15.7‐in.) square or octagonal cross section and contained various quantities of transverse reinforcement. ...

Abstract: Previously derived stress‐strain relationships for compressed concrete confined by various quantities and arrangements of transverse reinforcement are used in cyclic moment‐curvature analyses of a range of reinforced ...
