Abstract

This paper is concerned with the axial behavior of the RC columns. Stress-strain relationships of experimentally tested RC columns under concentric loading are compared with the predictions of the Koksal model. Moment-curvature analyses of RC sections are also performed employing the same model in a self-developed moment-curvature program for confined concrete. Results are compared with the output of EXTRACT which uses the Mander concrete model. © 2011 WIT Press.
