Seismic Behavior of Existing Reinforced Concrete Columns with Non-Seismic Details under Low Axial Loads

Reinforced concrete (RC) columns of old existing buildings are vulnerable to earthquakes because the hoops comprising their transverse reinforcement are widely spaced and anchored using 90° hooks. This study extensively evaluated the seismic behavior of RC columns with such non-seismic details. Expe...
