Abstract:
Results from 16 tests of reinforced concrete columns subjected to different displacement histories are presented. It is concluded that the drift capacity of a reinforced concrete column depends not only on the properties of the column and the applied axial load, but also on the displacement history. A numerical model to calculate drift capacity as a function of displacement history is presented.
