| Abstract | The results are presented for a preliminary series of analytical and experimental studies of circular reinforced concrete bridge columns subjected to one and two horizontal components of excitation. The purpose of these studies is to assess the effects of multi-direction seismic input, the influence of different ground motion characteristics, and the reliability of various analysis methods. Four identical columns were constructed and tested in pairs using two different ground motion records. Results show that the bi-directional response is for the columns considered similar to that observed under only one component of excitation. Bi-directional response also resulted in a slower accumulation of visible damage and deterioration in performance. Analysis results indicated that elastic and inelastic idealisations were able to predict peak response well, but details of response were difficult to predict with conventional models. |
