    strain compatibility and equilibrium of forces. The cover concrete will be


    unconfined and will eventually become ineffective after the compressive
    strength is attained, but the core concrete will continue to carry stress at
    high strains. The compressive stress distributions for the core and cover
    concrete will be as given by the confined and unconfined concrete
    stress-strain relations. Good confinement of the core concrete is essential
    if the column is to have a reasonable plastic rotational capacity to maintain
    flexural strength as high curvatures. In general, the higher the axial
    compressive load on the column, the greater the amount of confining
    reinforcement necessary to achieve ductile performance. This is because a
    high axial load means a large neutral axis depth, which in turn means that
    the flexural capacity of the column is more dependent on the contribution
    of the concrete compressive stress distribution.
    Clearly it is important to have accurate information concerning the
    complete stress-strain curve of confined concrete in order to conduct
    reliable moment-curvature analysis to assess the ductility available from
    columns with various arrangements of transverse reinforcement.
    In this paper, a unified stress-strain model for confined concrete is
    developed for members with either circular or rectangular sections, under
    static or dynamic loading, either monotonically or cyclically applied. The
    concrete section may contain any general type of confinement with either
    spirals or circular hoops, or rectangular hoops with or without supplemen-
    tary cross ties, with either equal or unequal confining stresses along each
    of the transverse axes. The model includes the effects of cyclic loading and
    strain rate. Full details of the proposed model is discussed elsewhere
    (Mander et al. 1984).
    In a companion paper by Mander et al. (1988), the theoretical model
    presented herein is compared with the results of an experimental program
    of some 40 concentric axial compression tests. This program consisted of
    nearly full-size circular, square, and rectangular reinforced concrete
    columns tested at either slow or fast (dynamic) rates of strain, with or
    without cyclic loading.

    PAST INVESTIGATIONS OF THE BEHAVIOR AND MODELING OF CONFINED


    CONCRETE

    Early investigators showed that the strength and the corresponding


    longitudinal strain at the strength of concrete confined by an active
    hydrostatic fluid pressure can be represented by the following simple
    relationships:
    f'cc^f'co + hf, (1)

    ecc = ecof 1 + k2 -jr j (2)

    where f'cc and ecc = the maximum concrete stress and the corresponding
    strain, respectively, under the lateral fluid pressure / , ; f'co and ECO =
