Abstract

A numerical method is developed for the determination of complete load-deformation relationships for slender reinforced concrete tied columns with arbitrary cross sections under combined biaxial flexure and axial load. Improvement of computer time and accuracy has been demonstrated, obviously due to the application of cubic B-spline function and introduction of p-multiplier in the numerical formulation. Comparison of present analysis with other numerical methods and experimental results appears to show a good agreement. ©ASCE.
