Popis: Based on the experiment of eight reinforced concrete T-shaped columns under low cyclic load, the factors which affect bearing capacity and seismic behavior, such as limb length, axial load ratio, stirrup ratio and the arrangement of longitudinal bars, etc., are analyzed. Tests results show that the bearing capacity of the columns increases, but the ductility is decreased with an increase of axial load ratio. The bearing capacity of T-shaped column increases when the web gets longer, while its deformability and ductility decrease. Besides, increase of stirrup ratio and longitudinal bars in the end of the web also have effect on the ductility of the columns.
