Abstract

Large-scale cantilever reinforced concrete (RC) columns with footing/stub were examined to determine their seismic response under a quasi-static increasing-magnitude cyclic lateral loading. Three-dimensional (3D) numerical models of RC columns with ductile and non-ductile reinforcement arrangements were developed in a Finite Element (FE) software, i.e., ABAQUS, to corroborate them with the experimental study conducted by the author. Both simulated models were validated with the experimental results in all respects, and the theoretical axial capacity of columns under concentric axial load (P0) was calculated. Subsequently, a detailed parametric study was conducted by adopting the force and reinforcement variables. These variables include axial compression ratios (ACR) varying from 0.35P0 to 0.7P0 and the amount of lateral reinforcements taken as 0.33% and 1.31% representing the non-ductile and ductile columns, respectively. This research outcome conclusively quantifies the combined effect of ACR levels and lateral reinforcement spacing on the flexural response and ductility characteristics of RC columns. The comparative analysis reveals that increased ACR levels resulted in a severe reduction in strength, deformability and ductility characteristics of both ductile and non-ductile columns. Structural response of ductile columns at higher ACR levels was comparable to the non-ductile columns, nullifying the beneficial effects of ductile design provisions. Higher ACR levels caused decline in pre-peak and post-peak response trajectories, leading to an earlier attainment of peak response at lower drift levels.
