Performance assessment of novel hollow and solid RC columns using simulation of shaking table test

The purpose of this study was to investigate the seismic performance of novel hollow and solid reinforced-concrete (RC) columns with triangular reinforcement details when subjected to impulsive near-fault ground motions. The results of numerical simulations of shaking table tests on six hollow columns and six solid columns are presented. The developed reinforcement details are shown to be economically feasible and rational, and they facilitate...
