ε c1 = strain at peak stress of concreteδ ns = the amplification factor ρ s = confinement volumetric geometric reinforcement ratio.ε s = strain of the lower reinforcements in the section, tension.δ u = displacement of the column in the descending branch corresponding to 0.85 of the maximum load.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
