ABSTRACT. The objective of this paper is to perform a sectional ductility analysis on rectangular reinforced concrete columns under large inelastic deformations while simultaneously subjected to constant axial load. Various analytical models available in the literature for confinement concrete by different types of transverse reinforcement including the one proposed by the author are used. The purpose is to estimate the rotation capacity of column sections subjected to different levels of compression loading. A parametric study is conducted in order to draw some conclusions about their influence on the curvature ductility of reinforced concrete columns. The main parameters introduced are the amount of longitudinal steel, the strength and the amount of the transverse reinforcement and the level of the compression force. The experimental and analytical results are compared and final conclusions are made.
