Abstract

In this study; the effect of axial load, longitudinal reinforcement diameter, transverse reinforcement diameter and transverse reinforcement spacing were investigated on the moment curvature relationships of reinforced concrete columns. Reinforced concrete columns having different geometries were designed considering the regulations of Turkish Building Earthquake Codes (2018). Investigations of the effect of axial load, longitudinal reinforcement diameter, transverse reinforcement diameter and transverse reinforcement spacing on the behavior of the concrete columns are the main purpose of this study. The behavior of the columns was investigated from the moment-curvature relation, by considering the nonlinear behavior of the materials taken into account. The moment-curvature relationships of the reinforced concrete column cross-sections having different axial load levels have been obtained by considering Mander model which considers the lateral confined concrete strength. The examined effects of the parameters on the column behavior were evaluated in terms of curvature ductility and the moment capacity of the cross-section. In the designed column cross-sections, different parameters effecting the moment-curvature relationships were calculated and compared. It is observed that the variation of the axial load, longitudinal reinforcement diameter, transverse reinforcement diameter and transverse reinforcement spacing have an important effect on the moment-curvature behavior of the reinforced concrete columns.
