5. SEISMIC BEHAVIOUR OF RC COLUMNS EMBEDDING STEEL PROFILES<br />

The ratio rmajor / rminor, that could estimate <strong>the</strong> performance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> different designed<br />

rectangular sections along <strong>the</strong> major <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> minor bending axis, are reported in<br />

<strong>the</strong> following Table:<br />

Load Combination Pr<strong>of</strong>ile rmaior / rminor<br />

HEM 160 0,98<br />

Combination (Case 1) HEB 220 0,98<br />

Seismic load<br />

HEM 280 0,92<br />

Combination A (Case 2) HEB 360 0,90<br />

Seismic load<br />

HEM 200 0,89<br />

Combination B (Case 3) HEB 240 0,98<br />

The cross sections designed following <strong>the</strong> simplified <strong>and</strong> aforementioned criteria,<br />

are illustrated in <strong>the</strong> following Figure 5.12. The sections appear to be composite<br />

concrete-steel sections despite not having been “ordinarily” designed like that.<br />

These sections are representative <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> column specimens to be tested soon<br />

after.<br />
