Reviews Research and Development of Reinforced Concrete Column Seismic Performance Evaluation

Column is the key member of the seismic structures. Tthe failure of column will cause a large number of casualties. With the development of modern technology, more attention on seismic performance evaluation of reinforced concrete column is paid by academics. The theoretical basis and the concepts of seismic performance evaluation of reinforced concrete column are introduced firstly, and then the existing reinforced concrete column seismic performance evaluation method, the principle and the existing problems are reviewed. Meanwhile the key problems and tendency of research of seismic performance evaluation methods are putted forward.
