Failure Probability of Short High-Strength Concrete Tied Columns
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 May 2011
Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the failure probability of short high-strength concrete tied columns using the Monte Carlo technique. The random variables considered in this study are the strength of concrete, the strength of steels, the cross-section dimensions, the location of the steel reinforcement, the variability of strength model and the loads. The results show that the failure probabilities of high-strength concrete columns designed according to the ACI Code are relatively high. The current ACI Code may not be conservative for design of short high-strength concrete tied columns.
