Test Research on Seismic Performance of Column

Abstract:

Reinforced concrete (RC) column component is a very important lateral force-resisting member which is widely used in China. Its seismic behavior has a great impact on the seismic performance of the overall structure. Damage of some reinforced concrete frame structures under the earthquake is caused by the damage of columns, So RC columns are an essential seismic members. The paper introduces the design of RC column specimen, mechanical properties of materials, production of RC column specimen, test method, loading device, loading system, the contents of measurement and data acquisition in detail. From the above analysis, it is obvious that the test is the most effective means of studying the seismic performance of column.
