Seismic Behaviour of Reinforced Gangue Concrete Columns

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study to know the seismic behaviour of the reinforced gangue concrete (RGC) columns. Four specimens of the RGC columns under cycle loadings were tested. The failure models, hysteretic performance, degradation rules of strength and stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation capacity are described and evaluated. It was concluded that the strength and stiffness of the RGC columns were improved with the increasing of steel ratio, column cross-section dimension and concrete strength. The tested RGC columns exhibit excellent seismic performance. The RGC columns have excellent ductility and can satisfy the request of the structural seismic design, thus they can be effectively used in RC structures.
