Abstract

The relationship between reinforced concrete column tests and finite element behavior is crucial for understanding and optimizing the structural performance of these elements. Concrete columns are integral components in buildings and infrastructure, and testing them under various conditions provides valuable data on their strength, stiffness, and failure mechanisms. Finite element analysis, on the other hand, is a powerful numerical method used to simulate the complex behavior of structures under different loads. By correlating experimental results from concrete column tests with finite element models, engineers can validate and refine their simulations, ensuring that the computational models accurately represent the physical reality. This iterative process of testing and analysis allows for the development of more reliable and efficient design methodologies, leading to improved structural performance and safety in construction projects. The synergy between experimental testing and finite element behavior not only enhances our understanding of structural dynamics but also contributes to the advancement of innovative and resilient construction practices. The results shows a good coincidence between the experimental and theoretical results.
