Interlocking Column I1 - Biaxial Bending

Oval shaped reinforced concrete column tested on shake table with the Bidirectional Mass Rig (BMR). This column was tested without an axial force or p-delta effects. The ground motions input were from the 1994 Northridge earthquake from the Sylmar station in California. The test was conducted in 11 stages using varying intensities of the input motion from a scale factor of 0.1 in the first run to 1.8 in the second to last run. After the 1.8 test, another run of the 1.4 intensity was run as the final test, denoted 1.4Final.
