Thus fourRC cantilever columns which have low concrete compressive strengths and have notadequate confinement, were subjected to constant axial load and cyclic lateralload history. In the study, firstly, the strain values representing the damagelimits were converted to top of the column lateral displacements by usingfundamentals of structural mechanics. Subsequently the column damagescorresponding to the displacement demands were observed, hence limit stateswere evaluated. After conducting all column tests, it was noted that no columndamage was observed for the immediate occupancy (IO) performance level definedin the code. For the life safety (LS) and collapse prevention (CP) performancelevels, though somewhat residual deformations occurred on the critical regions,the column members can pretty much sustain their lateral load capacities. Itwas also observed for all columns that significant damages and strength lossesoccurred beyond the collapse prevention level. The results of experimentalstudy indicate that the evaluation procedure in the TEC is still in good relationshipwith the limit states even if the columns have not adequate compressivestrength and confinement.
