축방향철근의 겹침이음길이에 따른 원형 RC교각의 내진성능평가
Seismic Performance Assessment of Existing Circular Sectional RC Bridge Columns according to Lap-splice Length of Longitudinal Bars

Abstract
The plastic hinge region of RC pier ensures its nonlinear behavior during strong earthquake events. It is assumed that the piers securesufficient strength and ductility in order to prevent the collapse of the bridge during strong earthquake. However, the presence of alap-splice of longitudinal bars in the plastic hinge region may lead to the occurrence of early bond failure in the lap-splice zone and resultin significant loss of the seismic performance. The current regulations for seismic performance evaluation limit the ultimate strain anddisplacement ductility considering the eventual presence of lap-splice, but do not consider the lap-splice length. In this study, seismicperformance test and analysis are performed according to the cross-sectional size and the lap-splice length in the case of longitudinal barswith lap-splice located in the plastic hinge region of existing RC bridge columns with circular cross-section. The seismic behavioralcharacteristics of the piers are also analyzed. Based upon the results, this paper presents a more reasonable seismic performanceevaluation method considering the lap-splice length and the cross-sectional size of the column.
