Abstract: RC structures that are expected to experience significant inelastic deformation require reinforcing steel bars that can endure substantial plastic displacements. Bridge columns’ longitudinal reinforcing rebars have shown ...

Abstract: This research assesses and compares the seismic performance of four reinforced concrete columns subjected to lateral cyclic loading. Two columns were reinforced with ASTM A955 Grade 75 reinforcement, whereas the other two ...

Abstract: Seismic assessment is of critical importance for structures in regions where earthquakes are prevalent. Such assessment in terms of determining the inelastic capacity of structures is often performed in laboratories of ...
