6　concrete　columns　reinforced　with　glass　fiber-reinforced　polymer　(GFRP)　bars　and　stirrups　and　1　hybrid-reinforced　concrete　column　were　tested　under　constant　axial　load　and　lateral　cyclic　quasi-static　load.　The　influence　of　the　volumetric　ratio　of　stirrups,　the　axial　load　level,　the　shear　span　ratio　and　the　longitudinal　reinforcement　on　the　seismic　performance　was　discussed.　The　test　shear　strength　of　the　specimens　were　compared　with　theoretical　results　of　different　codes.　The　results　show　all　the　4　short　GFRP-reinforced　concrete　columns　fail　in　shear　failure.　The　other　2　long　GFRP-reinforced　concrete　columns　and　the　hybrid-reinforced　concrete　column　are　flexural　failure.　The　hysteretic　curves　of　GFRP-reinforced　concrete　columns　have　significant　pinch　phenomenon,　and　the　energy　dissipation　capacity　is　at　a　relatively　low　level　compared　with　hybrid-reinforced　concrete　columns.　The　traditional　evaluation　method　of　ductility　coefficient　can　not　objectively　evaluate　the　seismic　performance　of　GFRP-reinforced　concrete　columns.　The　integrated　performance　index　can　embody　the　bearing　capacity　and　deformability.　The　integrated　performance　index　increases　with　the　volumetric　ratio　of　stirrups　increasing,　the　shear　span　ratio　increasing　and　the　axial　load　level　decreasing,　while　the　seismic　performance　of　the　specimens　improves.　And　the　theoretical　shear　strength　is　relatively　conservative　in　general.　The　results　of　CSA-S806-12　and　GB　50608-10　codes　are　too　conservative　while　ACI　440.1R-15　code　predicts　well　for　the　shear　strength　of　the　specimens.　©　2019,　The　Editorial　Board　of　Journal　of　Basic　Science　and　Engineering.　All　right　reserved.
