REVERSAL CYCLIC LOADING TEST OF REINFORCED CONCRETE COLUMN REINFORCED BY INSIDE ROUND HOOP BAR

Abstract

The seismic design have been revised to give so high seismic requirement after Hanshin-Awagi earthquake disaster. Usually we design the reinforced concrete viaduct for Railway to have high deformation capacity. So we carried out reversal cyclic loading test using reinforced concrete model column reinforced by inside round hoop bar to give so high seismic requirement. This paper mainly presents the deformation properties and damage by the results of reversal cyclic loading test of this model column.
