Retrofit of RC square short columns
Abstract
There exist many reinforced concrete short columns that are vulnerable to brittle shear failure as repeatedly demonstrated during recent severe seismic events. Due to the large scale of the problem, it is important to investigate the behaviour of short columns and approaches to their retrofit. The objective of this research program is to evaluate the performance enhancement of short reinforced concrete columns with high and low transverse steel …
