Introduction.
A general purpose computer program to evaluate uniaxial and biaxial strength and deformation characteristics of reinforced concrete (RC) sections is described. The program was developed for use on MS-DOS personal computers and has been used extensively at the University of California for both research and teaching purposes. Although other programs are available for this purpose NISEE 1987, many have limitations (such as uniaxial loading), are not available for personal computers, or are cumbersome to use. The intent of the current upgrade is to make the program more user-friendly by introducing a graphic interface that saves both time and effort, improve the program capacity by improving the memory configuration, update the confined concrete models available with the program and incorporate circular sections.

Program Capabilities.
The program computes strength and deformation characteristics based on the assumption that plane sections remain plane after the application of loading. Based on this assumption, the program can be used to compute strength or moment-curvature relations for uniaxial or biaxial monotonic loading of reinforced concrete sections. The strength can be computed for a single loading case, or interaction diagrams can be generated (e.g. P-Mxx, P-Myy, or Mxx-Myy). New features includes a windows version of the original FORTRAN code that is compatible with MS Widows 3.1 and later, new memory configuration that allows the program to utilize all the available extended memory and a feature to plot all the output files such as P-M diagrams and moment-curvature diagrams. Nonlinear material models are used for both the reinforcing steel and the concrete. The model for the stress-strain behavior of the reinforcing steel is versatile, allowing relations that closely approximate experimentally observed behavior. Models for the concrete stress-strain behavior include. Sheikh and Uzumeri (1982), and Yong et al. (1988) relations. A stress-strain relationship for unconfined and confined masonry and user defined stress-strain relationships are also incorporated. The relationship suggested by Vecchio and Collins (1986) is used to describe the stress-strain relation for concrete in tension. The tensile strength of the concrete beyond the rupture stress may be included or neglected. The current upgrade includes Saatcioglu and Razvi Model for both normal and high strength concrete (1995), Tanaka, Park and Li (1994) and Mander, Priestly and Park (1988). Presently, the program allows seven stress-strain diagrams for concrete (unconfined and confined), and four relations for reinforcing steel (for any given problem). The current upgrade has the capability of analyzing circular cross-sections and non-linear strain distribution for both steel and concrete in tension. To make the program even easier to use, new default options for steel were added. The RC section is described as a combination of subsections; therefore, the program allows easy generation of T, L, circular or barbell shaped sections. The program user specifies a mesh for each subsection. An iterative procedure (simple bisection algorithm) is used to obtain a solution for the prescribed problem.

The CAL/SAP library of subroutines (developed by E. L. Wilson at the University of California at Berkeley) is used to read the data from the input file. The subroutines allow the use of free-form input which facilitates the task of creating an input data file.

The program calculates section properties. Inertias (Ixx, Iyy and Ixy) are calculated for both the neutral axis location and the global midpoint of all the sections defined. The moments are given about the midpoint because it is easy for the user to locate. For circular cross section, the midpoint is alway at the origin (i.e. point (0,0)). A batch file is provided to delete output files created by the BIAX program. Use the file EAT.BAT and the input filename to delete the files created by the program (execute by typing EAT followed by the filename, e.g. EAT EX1)

Program Input
The following several pages describe the input data file requirements for the BIAX program. The input file is separated into eight blocks.Separators are used within the input file to specify the location of the eight data blocks. The separators may appear in any order. The separators and the information obtained within each data block are described in the following table.

SEPERATOR SYSTEM SECTION STEEL HOLES CONFINED STRAIN PROPERTIES DATA

DESCRIPTION OF DATA BLOCK Data block to define global analysis parameters. Data block to define rectangular subsections that make up the R.C. section. Data block to define location, area, and type of steel reinforcing bars. Data block to define any holes (voids) that may exist in R.C. section. Data block to define portions of the R.C. section that are confined. Data block to define the non-linear strain distribution Data block to define material properties for the reinforceing steel and concrete. Data block to define the parameters for the solution or solutions desired.

NOTES: (1) For the analysis of a simple unconfined R.C. section, only data blocks (2), (3),(6) and (7) are required. All the parameters for the SYSTEM data block have default values, and therefore, this block is not required in this case. (2) The only required data block is SECTION. If only this data block is specified, the program will compute the section properties (Area, Inertia, etc). (3) In the CAL/SAP subroutines a colon is used to denote the end of data input for each line. Comment statements are allowed following the use of a colon. (4) The following pages describe the block. input file requirements for each data

Section Input
Data block used to specify RC section geometry and mesh.
Line 1 to END One line for each subsection defining the complete R.C. section. NS is the total number of sections I= The section # in sequential order (e.g. 1,2,3, etc) S= Section type S=1 for rectangular section HI = Length of section in the I-direction HJ = Length of section in the J-direction N1 = # of elements in the I-direction (Default = 1) N2 = # of elements in the J-direction (Default = 1) X= X Starting location for bottom left corner of rectangle Y= Y Starting location for bottom left corner of rectangle A= angle, Xr,Yr Angle = (0-360 degrees) to rotate about point Xr, Yr. A positve angle represents counterclockwise rotation. Xr,Yr = Point to rotate section about (default = 0,0). See note (1). OR S= 2 for circular section R= Radius NR = Number of rings NP = Number of poles END SECTION WITH BLANK LINE

NOTE: (1) By using the 'A=' option it is possible to create all sections in a global X, Y coordinate system, and rotate them to an arbitrary position. Slight overlapping of sections will occur at points where sections that are rotated are ``attached'' to sections that are not rotated. Xr and Yr define global coordinates about which to rotate the section. The 'A=' option defaults to the previous specified value ('A=0,0,0' to stop section rotation).

R= Angle, Xr, Yr Where: angle is the angle of rotation in degrees (0-360) and Xr, Yr is the center of rotation. A positive angle bars will be rotated until 'R=0,0,0' is specified. END SECTION WITH BLANK LINE

NOTES: (1) nbar must begin each line (2) scalar multiples can be used on any term except nbar, e.g. X=10*12 or X=25/12 (3) the default value for 'A' is the previously specified value. (4) area of bar can be omitted if 'R=' is specified in SYSTEM data block. (5) bar increment # defaults to [1] (6) values for nbar need not be sequential or continous. This provides an easy means to add or delete bars without renumbering. (7) When the 'R=' option is used, all rebar specified on subsequent lines will also be rotated. To deactivate this option use 'R=0,0,0'.

NOTES: (1) A line to specify values for confined concrete is required; however, it may be a left blank when confined concrete is not required. (2) The only values required for the reinforcing steel are the yield stress, and the initial modulus. If only these values are specified, an elasto-plastic steel stress-strain is assumed. (3) The relation suggested by Vecchio and Collins [ACI Journal, Vol. 83 No. 2, March-April 1986.] is used to describe the stress-strain for concrete in tension. (4) Unconfined and confined concrete masonry based on work done at the University of Colorado. (5) A maximum of 150 points can be used to define the user defined stress-strain relations (fewer than 150 points may be used). Terminate the user defined stressstrain relations with a blank line, followed by a line (or lines) defining the reinforcing steel properties.

NOTES: (1) This data block is not required when interactive input is specified. (2) If generating P-M surface only 'EC=' and 'A=' need to be specified once, 'P=' is not required (and will be ignored if specified). (3) If P-M surface is not being generated, use as many lines as necessary to define the desired solutions. For moment-curvature analyses specify as many values of extreme fiber compressive strain (monotonic) as desired. (4) 'EC=' (compression reference point) is the point on the section furthest from the neutral axis (at angle specified). See Fig. A.5. (5) For P < 0.10, the Phi factor is determined by using linear interpolation between the specified phi factor and 0.9 (at P=0). [Note: Pb is not considered].

Reinforced Concrete Section Modeling

The modeling of rectangular reinforced concrete sections is accomplished by subdividing the section into elements. Fig. (A.1) presents a beam cross-section, and a possible mesh. The mesh of elements is defined by specifying the number of elements in each of the principal directions of the section. For more complicated sections, such as T-Beams or walls with boundary elements, several rectangular sections can be used to describe the element geometry (Fig. (A.2)). A reference point on each section (I=0,J=0) is used to define the starting location ( XS , YS ) of each section (Fig. A.2) in the global (X,Y) coordinate system. The elements are numbered in the i-direction from left to right, for each layer in the j-direction (Fig. A.2). The location of reinforcing is defined by specifying coordinates in the global coordinate system (X,Y).

Material Modeling
The program allows stress-strain curves for unconfined and confined concrete and concrete masonry. In addition, a user defined stress-strain curve may be specified. The concrete stress-strain behavior can be described by either the modified Kent and Park model (Park et al. (1982)), the Sheikh and Uzumeri model (1982) (Fig. (A.3)), or the Saatcioglu and Razvi Model (1995). The initial portion of the stressrelation is described by a second-degree parabolic shape. The relation suggested by Hognestad (1951) is used in this program.

Fig. A.3 Example Concrete Stress-Strain Relations A relationship for rectilinearly confined high-strength concrete is also available. The relationships developed by Yong, Nour, and Nawy (1988) are used, and are based on experimental studies of twenty-four columns with compressive strength ranging between 12.13 and 13.56 ksi. The columns were subjected to axial loads only. Experimental studies of rectilinearly confined high-strength columns under combined axial load and uniaxial bending have been conducted by Thomsen and Wallace at Clarkson University to evalaute relations for more typical loadings. Relationships for unconfined and confined concrete masonry have recently been incorporated. The relationships are based on work done at the University of Colorado.

The stress-strain model for the reinforcing steel allows a bilinear curve, or the consideration of strain hardening effects (Fig. (A.4)). The strain hardening curve is defined by the initial slope of the stress-strain curve at the onset of strain hardening, the ultimate stress and strain, and the fracture stress and strain. The equations describing the relationship are based on the equation presented by Saenz (1964). Care must be exercised when using the strain hardening curve because the relationship used to produce the curve is sensitive. It is suggested to always plot the material stress-strain curves to ensure they are reasonable.

Solution Reference Angle

The solution is computed with respect to the global X-axis. Therefore, a user specified angle of zero (0.0) coincides with the global X-axis. Angles other than zero (0 to 90 degrees) are measured counterclockwise from the global X-axis (Fig. A.5).

Solution Reference Point

The analysis of the R.C. section is based on a user specified extreme fiber concrete compressive strain. The location of the compression reference point is determined by the program to be the point furthest on the defined section perpendicular to the defined orientation of the neutral axis in the positive Y direction (Fig. A.5).

Fig. A.5 Solution Referance Parameters

Pgina 24 de 51

Solution Scheme
The strain at the centerline of each element is computed from the reference point strain assuming plane sections remain plane after loading. The axial load is computed as the sum for all elements (the elements are defined by the specified mesh) of the element stress times the element area. The moments (X-direction and Y-direction) are computed as the product of the element axial force and the perpendicular distance to a line through the geometric centroid of the concrete section parallel to the specified orientation of the neutral axis. The accuracy of a given solution is determined in part by the number of elements used to model a cross section. The user should verify that the mesh refinement is adequate.

Yong's High-Strength Concrete

The following equations were developed by Yong , Nour, and Nawy to describe the axial stress-strain relation for rectilinearly confined high-strength concrete (See Fig. C.3). The relations are based on experimental studies of twenty-four square columns with compressive strength ranging from 12.13 to 13.56 ksi . The peak stress of the confined concrete is obtained by multiplying the peak
'

compressive stress of the unconfined concrete, f c by the factor K given in Eq. (C.11),
'' 0.245s '' nd '' f y K = 1.0 + 0.0091 1 + 8sd f ' h '' c

diameter of the longitudinal steel bars in inches; is the volumetric ratio of the lateral reinforcement; is the volumetric ratio of the longitudinal reinforcement; and
