Funded Activity Summary

Development of Precast Concrete Segmental Columns to Resist Dynamic Loads. Using precast segmental concrete columns in structures improves the construction efficiency and site safety, leads to better construction quality control, and reduces the construction cost, site disruption and environmental impacts. The performance of segmental columns to resist earthquake and blast loads is not well studied yet. As a structure might be subject to such loads during its service life, understanding its resistance capacities is essential for structural safety. This project aims to perform experimental and numerical investigations to study the performance of precast segmental concrete columns under earthquake and blast loads, and develop analytical and design methods for applications of such columns in building and bridge structures.
