Four reinforced concrete columns with 400 mm (15.7 in) square cross sections were tested under axial compressive load and cyclic flexure to simulate severe seismic loading. The longitudinal reinforcement consisted of eight bars. The transverse reinforcement consisted of square perimeter hoops surrounding all longitudinal bars and cross ties between the intermediate longitudinal bars. The major variable of the study was the type of anchorage used for the hoops and cross ties. The anchorage details involved arrangements of perimeter hoops with 135° end hooks, cross ties with 90° and/or 180° end hooks, and cross ties and perimeter hooks with tension splices. Conclusions were reached with regard to the effectiveness of the tested anchorage details in columns designed for earthquake resistance.

The paper attempts to discuss the still significant issue of methods of design of the reinforced concrete columns according to PN-EN 1992-1-1:2008/A1:2015-03. Two algorithms of the dimensioning sections were developed according to two standard methods of dimensioning eccentrically compressed sections: the method of nominal stiffness (NS) and the method of nominal curvature (NC). Using both algorithms, computer programs in Excel were created. A comparative analysis of several examples of calculation were performed to compare the results of dimensioning of sections eccentrically compressed. The results obtained by the NC method give about 10% less surface reinforcement when loaded with big eccentricity and over 50% less when small eccentricity is applied.

An experiment on shear capacity for HRB500 grade R/C frame columns within yield hinge regions is studied. The different failure modes for specimens within yield hinge regions are classified, and the hysteretic curves are studied. The shear contributions of stirrups and concrete for columns are analyzed in detail. Based on the experimental study, formulas for the shear capacity of reinforced concrete columns are supposed under seismic loading, and the different formulas are adopted to estimate the shear capacity for columns at different seismic levels, Both security and economy of structural design are all considered.

Abstract In the article we are dealing with the influence of transverse reinforcement to the resistance of a cross-section of the reinforced concrete columns and also with the effective detailing of the column reinforcement. We are verifying the correctness of design guides for detailing of transverse reinforcement. We are also taking into account the diameter of stirrups and its influence over transverse deformation of column.

The results of recent experimental and analytical studies of the stress-strain behaviour of concrete confined by New Zealand manufactured Grade 275 or Grade 380 reinforcing steel are presented. First, the behaviour of three pairs of concentrically loaded reinforced concrete columns containing spirals from either Grade
275 or Grade 380 steel are compared, including the stage at which spiral fracture occurred. Second, the results of tests on four reinforced concrete columns containing Grade 380 spiral or rectangular hoop reinforcement and subjected to combined axial
load and cyclic lateral loading are reported. An analytical
study which was conducted to determine the available curvature ductility factor at the stage of fracture of the transverse reinforcement is described. The results are used to give a guideline for the safe use of Grade 380 steel as transverse confining reinforcement.

Abstract The purpose of the current paper is to raise awareness on the behaviour of rectangular reinforced concrete columns with disproportionate cross-section dimensions subjected to compression and biaxial bending, considering the fact that in the current structural design process, the design of columns is usually done with respect to each of the two principal directions without considering their combined effect. The paper is based on a case study regarding a building that is currently in the design phase, in which to obtain a correct seismic behaviour, rectangular columns with disproportionate cross-section dimensions were used. The design of both the building and the columns follows the Romanian seismic design codes (“P100-1/2013 - Seismic design code - Part 1 - Design provisions for buildings” and “SR-EN 1998/2004 - Design of structures for earthquake resistance”). Results were compared and conclusions were drawn based on the interaction curves and interaction surfaces computed with expressions from specialized literature and sectional analysis software.
