Abstract
Reinforced concrete (RC) frame structure is one type of building structure which is widely used in China. Damage of some reinforced concrete frame structures under the earthquake is caused by the damage of beams and columns, so beams and columns are essential seismic members. However, the test datum are not enough to study the performance of RC beams and columns , Therefore, Finite element simulation of RC beams and columns is performed by software ABAQUS in the paper. Through comparing with the finite element simulation and the test of load - displacement skeleton curve, failure mode and steel bar strain, the result shows that the finite element simulation can more accurately simulate the situation of the test and verifies the finite element simulation is the most important research tool besides test.
