Experimental Program<br />

More than 60 large scale specimens were tested, including 24 benchmark specimens that were designed to<br />

represent typical pre- and after 1987 bridge columns in Taiwan. Cross sectional dimensions of the rectangular<br />

columns and circular columns were 60 cm by 75 cm and 76 cm diameter, respectively, roughly 2/5 scale of the<br />

prototype columns. Retrofit techniques used in the specimens include steel jacketing, FRP wrapping, and RC<br />

jacketing. Details of the test specimens are listed in Tables 1-3.<br />

Test Results and Conclusions<br />

For seismic retrofit of rectangular RC bridge columns using steel jacketing and FRP wrapping, the hysteresis<br />

loop of the columns are shown in Fig. 1 (Tsai and Lin 2000) and Fig. 2 (Chang and Chung 2000; Chang and<br />

Chang 2000), respectively. Test results for Fig. 1 confirmed that the seismic performance of the rectangular RC<br />

bridge columns can be significantly and equally enhanced by properly constructed elliptical or octagonal steel<br />

jacket. Octagonal steel jacketing is cost-effectively and can provide lateral confinement and the shear strength to<br />
