Stiffness of Reinforced Concrete Columns Jacketing with Wire Mesh at Plastic Hinge Region
摘要
One way to improve the ability of columns to withstand lateral loads is by installing jackets. In this study, two reinforced concrete columns were tested. The first column is a normal column, and the second column is a column with an additional jacket made of 6 mm wire mesh and self-compacting concrete. Both specimens were then tested with cyclic load based on the provisions stipulated in SNI 7834:2012 with displacement control method. The use of 6 mm wire mesh and self-compacting concrete as a jacket for reinforced concrete columns can increase column strength against lateral loads by up to 41% and increase column stiffness by up to 47%.
