Abstract
In this paper, the static characteristics of the bond joint type column base were investigated by cyclic loading test. The bottom of SHS column was welded to the connecting cast iron part with sleeves. The anchor bar was connected to the sleeve by filling with mortar. The main parameters were the forms of the concrete foundation. The test results show that the behavior of a this type column base was comparatively good. The elastic limit strength, the yield strength, the ultimate strength and the initial stiffness can be estimated by Euler-Bernoulli's assumption on the upper surface of concrete founda tion, taking neutral axis into consideration.
