PERSONAL: Project Objectives To independently conduct research & gain extensive laboratory experience in the field of structural – earthquake engineering Opportunity to work with researchers on cutting-edge research and learn about ongoing studies in seismic design and retrofitting Opportunity to learn and apply theories of seismic design & analysis to RC columns under seismic and gravity loads RESEARCH: Identify lateral & axial deformation components leading to RC column failure Compute flexural, shear and axial capacity models of RC column Design experimental setup allowing bidirectional loading of RC column for specific loading requirements & under budget Fabricate RC column specimens based on design specs Analyze the effect of bidirectional loading on the shear and axial failure of RC column and compare to predictive capacity models
Simplified Model of RC Column One-third scale of existing, pre-seismic ACI code designed RC Column ½ of RC column used in analysis Free end of column idealized as hinge connection with a fixed end at base of column
