Conclusions From the analysis it was observed that the Mass Platform increased the response of the RC column due to Pdelta. Nevertheless, this effect was balanced by the action of the unbonded prestressed tendon inside the column. The final result, resemble approximately the behavior of a single column. Northridge at Sepulveda and Mendocino motions developed at UCLA, likewise El Centro and Kobe earthquakes, showed to induce considerable response for the single column analyzed.
Future work We are working in the analytical stage to include bidirectional effects and model the behavior of Shear dominated columns, both for circular and interlocking columns. In few weeks we will start the construction of the Mass Platform and our first set of columns. We plan to test in summer.
