For information on re-use, please refer to the publisher’s terms and conditions. abstract: A seismic vulnerability analysis of a multi-span simply supported bridge is often based on the seismic response of the most critical pier. This response is influenced by different collapse modes (flexural, shear, second order effects, lap-splice of longitudinal bars or their buckling). Among these the flexural behaviour is important and it's known if the equivalent plastic hinge length and the Moment-Curvature law of the fixed end are given. This paper provides a closed-form dimensionless solution to obtain a 5 point Moment-Curvature diagram for circular RC section. The solution is based only on three parameters: dimensionless axial force, mechanical percentage of longitudinal reinforcement, geometrical percentage of transversal reinforcement. A numerical example is presented to test the solution comparing it with a FEM analysis. date: 2015-05-27 date_type: published publisher: COMPDYN official_url: http://2015.compdyn.org/ oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1620107 lyricists_name: Gentile, Roberto lyricists_id: RGENT78 actors_name: Gentile, Roberto actors_id: RGENT78 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: COMPDYN 2015 - 5th ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering place_of_pub: Crete Island, Greece pagerange: 4160-4170 event_title: 5th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering book_title: Proceedings of the 2015 COMPDYN Conference citation: Raffaele, D; Gentile, R; Mezzina, M; (2015) Simplified closed-form solution for the determination of the moment-curvature response of a circular RC section.
