RELIABILITY ANALYSES OF REINFORCED CONCRETE AND COMPOSITE COLUMN SECTIONS UNDER CONCENTRIC LOADS

This paper presents reliability analyses of concentrically loaded reinforced concrete and composite (cased) column sections designed to AS 1480-1982 and AS 1250-1981 respectively. Estimates of various components of variability are given based on available experimental data. The results show that the safety index for reinforced column sections varies from 3.5 to 6.5 while that for the cased column sections varies from 4.5 to 6.0. A revised column section formula applicable to both cases is suggested. (Author/TRRL)
