A centrally reinforced column is a new type of RC columns, formed by providing a reinforcement skeleton at the central part of the cross section of an ordinary RC column. Tests have shown that as compared with an ordinary RC column, this type of columns has a higher load carrying capacity and ductility. From the pushover analysis of a frame composed of ordinary RC columns and one consisting of centrally reinforced columns, their seismic performance under seismic load of 9-degree intensity was studied according to Chinese code, including target displacements, story-level displacements, interstory drifts, appearance and development of plastic hinges. The results indicate that although the dimensions of cross sections of columns in the frame with centrally reinforced columns are smaller than those of the ordinary frame, the former still has a higher overall load carrying capacity and seismic performance than the latter.

The aim of this study is to analytically assess the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) columns with interlocking hoops using a novel damage index, and to provide data for developing next generation seismic design criteria. Seismic performance of RC columns is controlled by the level of confinement provided by transverse steel. Interlocking hoops are commonly used in RC columns because they can provide more effective confinement than rectangular hoops. Three RC interlocking columns were tested under a constant axial load and a cyclically reversed horizontal load. A computer program, RCAHEST (Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology), is used to analyze RC structures. Novel damage indices aim to provide a means of quantifying numerically the performance level in RC columns with interlocking hoops sustained under earthquake loading. The proposed numerical method for the seismic performance assessment of interlocking columns is verified by comparison with the experimental results.
