Technical Report Column

A concrete column has a significant influence on constructions because the component withstands the major weight of the whole structure. However, the ordinary concrete column has limited capacity to resist to multiaxial loadings. Since steel plate is one ...

Ten reinforced concrete columns strengthened by carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) were tested under bidirectional eccentric load to study the bearing capacity. In this study, eccentricity, amount and bonding mode of CFRP were analyzed. The results ...

A nonlinear 3d concentrated plasticity element for RCFT column analysis is presented.The implemented return mapping algorithm is computationally very efficient.The calibration of model parameters for simulation of RCFT columns is discussed.The element ...
