Slender Columns

The stability and strength of slender Reinforced Concrete (RC) columns depend directly on the flexural stiffness EI, which is a major parameter in strain calculations including those with bending and axial load. Due to the non-linearity of the stress-strain curve of concrete, the effective bending stiffness EI always remains variable. Numerical simulations were performed for square and L-shaped reinforced concrete sections of slender columns subjected to an eccentric axial force to estimate the variation of El resulting from the actual behavior of the column, based on the moment-curvature relationship. Seventy thousand (70000) hypothetical slender columns, each with a different combination of variables, were used to investigate the main variables that affect the EI of RC slender columns. Using linear regression analysis, a new simple and linear expression of EI was developed. Slenderness, axial load level, and concrete strength have been identified as the most important factors affecting effective stiffness. Finally, the comparison between the results of the new equation and the methods proposed by ACI-318 and Euro Code-2 was carried out in connection with the experimental results of the literature. A good agreement of the results was found.

This paper analyzes the non-linear geometric behavior of reinforced concrete slender columns. This approach is due to the fact that there is a tendency to reinforced concrete slender constructions, which may have significant second order effects. This research aimed at comparing different formulations for the analysis of non-linear behavior of reinforced concrete slender columns by comparing results from simulated problem (slender column with ten load scenarios) between the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the Iterative Process P-DELTA(P-Δ). Numeric results revealed that the Iterative Process P-Δ presented different results from FEM and that the second order effects are significant for reinforced concrete slender column problems.
