Improving The Behavior of RC Short Columns By Using Sifcon Coating and Rubber Dampers

Abstract

In this study, improving the behavior of short column region by means of higher energy consumption and higher shear load carrying capacity is aimed. For this purpose, a special kind of concrete with high steel fiber ratio (SIFCON) is used for coating of column and placing rubber dampers around the short column region was proposed. As a result, it’s seen that; the SIFCON coating increased the shear force carrying capacity of short column by 2,18 times when compared with non-retrofitted specimen, whereas additional rubber dampers around the short column region increased the total load carried by 4 times. Also, the energy dissipation of the region increased by 2,02 to 2,82 times when compared with non-retrofitted situation. As a result, it was seen that, with a practical approach it is possible to improve the behavior of short columns.
