Research Background<br />
Mechanisms leading to the collapse of existing, pre-seismic code<br />
RC frames are NOT well documented.<br />
Shake table tests are currently being conducted at PEER-UCB to<br />
observe & identify the failure components & load redistribution<br />
processes in RC bridge columns & in RC building frames under<br />
seismic & gravity loading.<br />
Identifying mechanisms causing shear failure in RC columns can<br />
be used to develop performance-based seismic design -<br />
strengthen future & existing structures against earthquake<br />
loading<br />
Column shear failure & its effect on the degradation of axial<br />
capacity in a pre-seismic code RC column is the focus of this<br />
project.
