simdesign.rcmrf.bnsm.cp03.column

This module provides the column class implementation for the CP03 model in the BNSM layer.

class simdesign.rcmrf.bnsm.cp03.column.Column(design, bondslip_factor, capacity_design, load_factors, cyclic_model=False, cracked_section=False)[source]

Bases: Column

Column implementation for the CP03 model.

The column is modeled based on a concentrated plasticity approach. An elastic interior member (elasticBeamColumn) is connected to nonlinear rotational hinges at both ends. Each hinge is implemented as a zeroLengthSection element between the original column-end node and an auxiliary element node.

The hinge response is defined by a uniaxial Hysteretic material assigned to the rotational degree of freedom about the local z-axis. All other translational and rotational degrees of freedom across the hinge are constrained to behave rigidly using rigid materials, so the hinge represents concentrated flexural nonlinearity.

Since the hinge and elastic column elements act in series, the elastic stiffness of the interior member is modified following the recommendations by Ibarra & Krawinkler (2005) and Zareian & Medina (2010).
