simdesign.rcmrf.bnsm.dp03.column

This module provides the column class implementation for the DP03 model in the BNSM layer.

class simdesign.rcmrf.bnsm.dp03.column.Column(design, bondslip_factor, capacity_design, load_factors, cyclic_model=False, cracked_section=False)[source]

Bases: ColumnBase

Column implementation for the DP03 model.

This class extends ColumnBase by defining fiber sections at the plastic hinge regions. The column is modeled using a force-based beam-column element with a plastic hinge integration scheme. Nonlinear behavior is distributed over specified hinge lengths at the member ends, while the interior region remains elastic.

The hinge sections are discretized into concrete and steel fibers, where each fiber is associated with a uniaxial material model. The section response is obtained by integrating stresses over the fibers, enabling axial force-bending moment interaction to be captured. The interior region is modeled as elastic using cracked section properties. The shear response is represented as in the base class.

Variables:

  • concrete_material (Literal['Concrete01', 'Concrete04'], optional) – Uniaxial material type for concrete, by default ‘Concrete04’.

  • interior_section (Literal['Elastic', 'Inelastic'], optional) – Interior section used in the plastic hinge integration formulation, by default ‘Inelastic’.

Parameters:

  • design (ColumnBase)

  • bondslip_factor (float)

  • capacity_design (bool)

  • load_factors (Dict[Literal['G', 'Q'], float])

  • cyclic_model (bool)

  • cracked_section (bool)
