✦ Synopsis

A computer software was developed for inelastic analysis of reinforced concrete columns under combined axial compression and monotonically increasing lateral loads. The software incorporates eects of concrete con®nement, steel strain hardening, reinforcement buckling, and secondary deformations due to P±D eect. Hinging of column critical region and progression of hinging along column height are considered. Inelastic deformation components due to ¯exure and anchorage slip are included. The input consists of column geometry, material properties, and loading. The results are presented in a graphical form in terms of moment±curvature, force±displacement, and moment±anchorage slip relationships. Axial force±moment interaction diagram is also plotted as part of the output. The program was veri®ed extensively against available experimental data.
