Seismic Performance Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Columns in Regions of Low to Moderate Seismicity
Abstract Current detailing practices in regions of low to moderate seismicity, which are typically intraplate regions, result in limited to moderately ductile reinforced concrete (RC) columns that are characterised by relatively low drift capacities in contrast to ductile RC columns in regions of higher seismicity. Rare or very rare seismic events occurring in these intraplate regions may impose larger drift demands on such columns, thereby making them vulnerable to collapse. This chapter presents a piecewise lateral force-displacement model that can serve as a tool for estimating the drift capacity of RC columns that can be used to check if the RC columns in the building are meeting the seismic performance objectives
