Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the possible collapse mechanisms of reinforced concrete columns. Analyses are performed to study the effect of both material and geometrical nonlinearities in the post peak response of flexural columns. Discussion is mainly focussed on the restoring force characteristics, especially in large deformation range, of RC columns having high shear capacity. It is suggested that the ultimate failure is governed by bending.
