UNIFIED STRESS-STRAIN APPROACH FOR CONFINED CONCRETE WITH


MONOTONIC LOADING AT SLOW STRAIN RATES

The Basic Equation for Monotonic Compression Loading


Mander et al. (1984) have proposed a unified stress-strain approach for
confined concrete applicable to both circular and rectangular shaped
transverse reinforcement. The stress-strain model is illustrated in Fig. 1
and is based on an equation suggested by Popovics (1973). For a slow
(quasi-static) strain rate and monotonic loading, the longitudinal compres-
sive concrete stress fc is given by
f'ccxr
fc = (3)
r-l+xr
where f'cc = compressive strength of confined concrete (defined later).

where ec, = longitudinal compressive concrete strain.
