| dc.description.abstract | The definition of appropriate modelling approaches combined with a consistent software framework is a topic of major importance in the present days for structural engineering in general and, particularly, for earthquake engineering. The accuracy of the results obtained in the recent “Concrete Column Blind Prediction Contest 2010” for a full-scale reinforced concrete bridge column tested on the NEES Large High-Performance Outdoor Shake Table, seems to indicate that current modelling strategies are on the right track. The 1.2 m diameter cantilevered column spans 7.2 m from the footing. A massive 230 tonne reinforced concrete block supported by the column generates the inertial forces to mobilize the column capacity. Seismic performance was investigated under 6 ground motions, starting with lowintensity shaking and bringing the column progressively to near-collapse conditions. Based on the obtained results from the pre-contest simulation, as well with the post-contest analysis, it was possible to extract some important conclusions regarding the application of several strategies, namely the use of different type elements, element discretization, constitutive laws for materials. | pt_PT |
