Effect of Different Types of Middle Columns on the Seismic Performance of Single-Story Subway Station Structure by Sheng Li, Haiyang Zhuang, Wei Wang, Liguo Jin, Zhengfang Dong

“…This analysis model is further used to investigate the influence of different types of middle columns on the seismic response characteristics of the underground structure, such as the interstory displacement angle, seismic damage, and dynamic response. The results show that, compared with the rectangular columns, the circular columns with the equal moment of inertia suffer less damage in the earthquake and have better seismic performance. …”
