Theoretical Framework for Creep Effect Analysis of Axially Loaded Short CFST Columns under High Stress Levels by Shiwei Li, Yongqing Yang, Wangqing Wen, Aiguo Yan

“…In this study, to analyze the impacts of nonlinear creep effect on the behaviour of axially loaded short CFST columns, a complete theoretical framework for coupling analysis of 3D creep effect and material nonlinearity was presented. First, the concrete damaged plasticity model with a uniform constraint (UCCDP) was established to simulate the plasticity and damage evolution of a concrete core. …”
