Abstract:Recently, castellated columns have been increasingly used in buildings because of their flexibility, easy compatibility and potential savings due to less steel consumption. However, there is a lack of research related to the subject. In view of that, this work evaluates the influence of the opening type and size on the resistant capacity of the column, considering a nonlinear plastic analysis by the finite element method (792 simulations). For this, columns without openings were modeled to validate the methodo… Show more
