| Abstract: |
In this study, the simulation analyses using Finite Element Method (FEM) of previous experiments of RC columns under cyclic torsional loading were conducted. As a result, it was clarified the torsional skeleton curves and the crack distributions of the FEM results in the torsional yielding strength and the maximum strengths traced those of the experimental results accurately. From the experimental results and the FEM results, it was verified the thicknesses of cross sections and the pitches of hoop ties affected the torsional failure modes highly. In addition, FEM analyses varied with thicknesses of cross sections for which experiments have not been conducted were conducted. The effects of these to crack, torsional yielding and maximum capacity were investigated in detail. |
