This study investigates the lateral impact responses of reinforced concrete (RC) and composite columns through dynamic nonlinear analysis using LS-DYNA. The simulation results were first validated against experimental performed earlier on four different cross sections. finite element show that LS-DYNA can predict well be used for further parametric analysis. overall resistance new is significan...

To investigate the ultimate bearing capacity and deformation of recycled self-compacting concrete-filled circular steel tubular (RSCCFCST) long columns subjected to axial load, nine specimens with different concrete (RSCC) strength grades slenderness ratios are tested. The experimental results indicate that lateral deflection dominates buckling failure specimens. is enhanced gradually as RSCC g...

Analytical strengths of reinforced concrete beams and columns based on reinforcing steel stress-strain curves with and without a sharp yield plateau and the nonlinear stress-strain behavior of concrete are compared with strengths calculated in accordance with the ACI Building Code to determine the feasibility of using the 0.2% offset method to define the yield strength of reinforcing steel.
