Abstract
|
In this paper, moment- curvature behavior of reinforced concrete column with constant axial load is determined using finite element approach using Open SEES software and then it is introduced to a single degree of freedom (SDOF) model based on Euler- Bernoulli theory. Using this SDOF model, dynamic response of the RC column under the blast loading is estimated. The introduced SDOF includes secondary moments (P- ) EFFECTS, nonlinear behavior of the material( concrete and reinforcing bars) and effects of strain rate on concrete and steel materials through the calculation of the model. Results obtained from SDOF model for transverse displacement of RC column under blast loading is compared to analysis by finite element software OPENSEES. Then, introduced SDOF method is used for the drawing pressure-Impulse (P-I) diagram of the column with considering the presence of axial compressive load. According to the results, introduced SDOF model has simple and quick computations and accuracy of predictions is acceptable.
