The Effect of Spacing of Transverse Steel on R/C Column Laterally Reinforced with Head Subjected to Eccentric Loading

Head로 횡구속된 편심하중을 받는 R/C기둥의 띠철근비의 영향

This study investigated the behavior of R/C column confined with headed crossties subjected to eccentric loading. The 16 specimens are designed to have adequate confinement steel, determined by ACI seismic design. The variables studied in this research test are eccentricity to depth ratios, spacing of lateral steel and the anchor type of end of crossties. From the test results, all columns showed similar behavior up to the peak load but those columns laterally confined with head presented more ductile behavior after the peak load. The comparisons indicate that the flexural behavior of confined-concrete columns can be computed resonable accurately by P-M interaction curve.
