Abstract

Simulation analyses of RC short columns are conducted under oblique horizontal seismic action monotonically using ABAQUS software. Concrete damaged plasticity model is used for concrete. Ideal elastic-plastic model is taken for steels. The results show that when the axial compression ratio was relatively low, the capacity of the columns increased with the increasing of load angle, because of the effect of tensile bars. For the relatively high axial compression ratio, the bearing capacity decreased with the increasing of angle, because of the effect of concrete in compression area.
