5.52 EC2 Test 40: Verifying a square concrete column subjected to a small compression force and significant rotation moment to the top - Bilinear stress-strain diagram (Class XC1) Test ID: 5153 Test status: Passed
5.52.1 Description Verifies a square cross section column made of concrete C30/37 subjected to a small compression force and significant rotation moment to the top - Bilinear stress-strain diagram (Class XC1) Nominal rigidity method - The purpose of this test is to determine the second order effects by applying the method of nominal rigidity, and then calculate the frames by considering a symmetrically reinforced section. The column is considered connected to the ground by a fixed connection and free to the top part.
5.52.2 Background Nominal rigidity method. Verifies the adequacy of a rectangular cross section made from concrete C30/37. The purpose of this test is to determine the second order effects by applying the method of nominal rigidity, and then calculate the frames by considering a section symmetrically reinforced.
