Abstract:With fiber beam-column element based on flexibility method of finite element, the RC specially shaped columns of different axial compression ratio under cyclic loading have been simulated and the analysis results have been compared in aspects of strength, stiffness and ductility in order to provide some suggestions for seismic-resistant design of specially shaped columns. The strength, stiffness and ductility of L,T-shaped columns are apparently different in different horizontal direction, but those of t-shaped column are close.
