The performance of different nonlinear modelling strategies to simulate the response of RC columns subjected to axial load combined with cyclic biaxial horizontal loading is compared. The models studied are classified into two categories according to the nonlinearity distribution assumed in the elements: lumped-plasticity and distributed inelasticity. For this study, results of tests on 24 columns subjected to cyclic uniaxial and biaxial lateral displacements were numerically reproduced. The analyses show that the global envelope response is satisfactorily represented with the three modelling strategies, but significant differences were found in the strength degradation for higher drift demands and energy dissipation.read more

Behaviour of reinforced concrete column under biaxial cyclic loading-state of the art
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the existing test on reinforced concrete (RC) columns under biaxial load has been carried out and the experimental results show that the RC columns' response is highly dependent on the loading pattern, and the biaaxial loading induces a decrease in the maximum strength and anticipates each damage state, thus, in columns where demands are expected with large moments in both directions, specific detailing should be provided in their critical regions in order to improve the columns' performance and avoid premature failure.
