Experimental results show that even when columns are fully cut through they can maintain up to 90% of their axial load capacity, even when 10° diagonal cuts are used. However, if a combination of ...

As a result of the test, a 50% increase of hoop strain was observed at an axial load of 180 kN, leading to yielding of the REBCO tapes. Buckling deformation due to compressive hoop strain was also ...
