ABSTRACT
In this paper, the use of diagonal reinforcing bars in special-shaped column, as a new seismic design method, is suggested after the proposition of the special-shaped column with concealed column. Based on the tests of seismic performance of 3 T-shaped column specimens, the seismic performances of the general T-shaped column, T-shaped concealed column and T-shaped column with diagonal reinforcing bars are compared. It is proved that diagonal reinforcing bars provided in short T-shaped columns are able to significantly improve its seismic performances.
Keywords: Column, Concealed column, Diagonal reinforcing bars, Reinforced concrete, Seismic performance, T-shaped.
