Abstract This paper presents experimental results of combined cyclic load testing on a reinforced concrete (RC) column that was retrofitted with newly designed steel rods. The steel rods were installed around the column longitudinally and then anchored. The proposed steel rods utilize simple components and installation to enhance both the strength and ductility of RC columns. Cyclic lateral load tests were conducted on three specimens: one unreinforced specimen as reference, one specimen with the entire length of the column retrofitted, and one specimen with only the plastic hinge region of the column retrofitted. All specimens were tested under eccentric constant axial load and incrementally increasing lateral loading cycles with eccentricity. The implementation of steel rods resulted in significant improvement in ductility and an up to 60% increase in ultimate loading capacity. |
