What is it about?
The results of numerical simulations of shaking table tests on six hollow columns and six solid columns are presented. The developed reinforcement details are shown to be economically feasible and rational, and they facilitate shorter construction periods.

Why is it important?
The numerical method used gave a realistic prediction of seismic performance throughout the input ground motions for several column specimens investigated. As a result, the developed triangular reinforcement details were considered to be superior to existing reinforcement details in terms of the required seismic performance. Such an analysis to study the seismic response of novel hollow and solid RC columns should lead to realistic and safe design.
Perspectives
I hope this article is to provide the seismic performance of novel hollow and solid reinforced-concrete (RC) columns with triangular reinforcement details when subjected to impulsive near-fault ground motions.
