Abstract

Axial compression performance and bearing capacity of reinforced concrete column is crucial to concrete structure. Lateral Impact load could pose severe danger to the security and service life of reinforced concrete column. Impact dynamic response, axial compression performance and residual bearing capacity of reinforced concrete columns after lateral impact load were investigated in this paper. Investigation results indicated that with the increase of impact energy, residual displacement and crack width on column increased, impact damage on column exacerbated. It was proved that impact resistance performance of reinforced concrete column could be enhanced by preload axial force. Residual bearing capacity of reinforced concrete column degenerated obviously after subjected to lateral impact load. And RC column would be under elastic stage when impact energy was low. According to analysis results on the correlation between residual displacement and residual bearing capacity, prediction model on residual bearing capacity of reinforced concrete column after lateral impact load was proposed.
