An Experimental Study on Stress-Strain Behavior of Confined Concrete Columns with Rectangular Sections

The purpose of this study is to analyze the stress-strain behavior of confined concrete columns with rectangular section. Uniaxial concentric loading tests of nineteen concrete columns with rectangular section ($150{\times}100$, $250{\times}100$, $350{\times}100\;mm$) were conducted. The main variables are transverse reinforcement volumetric ratio and spacing, cross tie arrangement, cross-section aspect ratio, and concrete strength. From the present experiments, it was found that the increase of transverse reinforcement ratio increases the maximum stress and ductility ratio and the reduction of the spacing of transverse reinforcement also increases the ductility and effective confinement. The increase of the aspect ratio of the cross-section does not influence much the stress-strain behavior of rectangular columns within the aspect ratio range of 3.5. The effect of concrete strength on ductility is also discussed.
