Seismic performance assessment of reinforced concrete bridge columns with lap splices using shaking table tests
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the seismic performance of reinforced concrete bridge columns that have lap splices in the plastic hinge region when subjected to impulsive near-fault ground motions. For this purpose, the paper presents the results of shaking table tests on four reinforced concrete bridge columns. By using a sophisticated non-linear finite-element analysis program, the accuracy and objectivity of the assessment...
