Seismic Behavior of Resilient Reinforced Concrete Columns with Ultra-High-Strength Rebars Under Strong Earthquake-Induced Multiple Reversed Cyclic Loading

The frequent occurrence of major earthquakes highlights the structural challenges posed by long-period ground motions (LPGMs).This study investigates the seismic performance and resilience of five reinforced concrete (RC) columns with different high-strength steel bars under LPGM-induced Wine / Sake Cups cyclic loading, both experimentally and nume
