Damage Progression in Column – EPP<br />

Backbone Model<br />

Elastic-Perfectly-Plastic (EPP) backbone model approximates the<br />

shear load vs. lateral displacement behavior of shear-critical RC<br />

columns via. a ‘shear-failure surface’<br />

EPP backbone model utilizes the calculated column drift ratios at<br />

yielding, shear & axial failure, as well as the yield moment derived<br />

from the column moment-curvature response to generate the<br />

column’s ‘shear failure surface’ under lateral and gravity loading
