Abstract
Reinforced concrete (RC) bridge columns can be subjected to large dynamic loads during earthquakes. In order to design these structures, a thorough understanding of their nonlinear behavior is essential. 1D and 2D numerical simulation models are generally used for the analysis of these structures under axial loads and uniaxial bending. The iterative process used in the numerical simulation is cost-sensitive and time-consuming because of the complex constitute relationships of the materials. In this study, two hollow RC bridge columns tested under reversed cyclic loads at the National Centre for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) Taiwan have been analyzed using both 1D and 2D numerical simulation models. Analysis results from both simulation models such as primary backbone curves, hysteretic loops including pinching effects, and the strength degradation in the post-peak region have been compared and verified with the experimental data.
