The behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) columns made from high strength materials was investigated experimentally. Six high-strength concrete specimen columns (1:4 scale), which included three with high-strength transverse reinforcing bars and three with normal-strength transverse reinforcement, were tested under double curvature bending load. The effects of yielding strength and ratio of transverse reinforcement on the cracking patterns, hysteretic response, shear strength, ductility, strength reduction, energy dissipation and strain of reinforcement were studied. The test results indicated that all specimens failed in splitting failure, and specimens with high-strength transverse reinforcement exhibited better seismic performance than those with normal-strength transverse reinforcement. It also demonstrated that the strength of high-strength lateral reinforcing bars was fully utilized at the ultimate displacements. Shear strength formula of short concrete columns, which experienced a splitting failure, was proposed based on the Chinese concrete code. To enhance the applicability of the model, it was corroborated with 47 short concrete columns selected from the literature available. The results indicated that, the proposed method can give better predictions of shear strength for short columns that experienced a splitting failure than other shear strength models of ACI 318 and Chinese concrete codes.

As this study investigates the influence about type of transverse reinforcement, spacing of transverse reinforcement(s), volumetric ratios of transverse reinforcement(${\rho}s$) of ultra-high strength concrete columns. It try to offer to resonable basic data of the confined model for the ultra-high concrete of in reinforced concrete columns. Experimental tests with large scaled columns were conducted under concentric axial loads. The ultra-high strength concrete (100MPa) was used. From this test result, it evaluate influence of the strength enhancement and ductility enhancement, important variables about behavior of the confined concrete by confinement of ultra-high strength reinforced concrete.There are two ways to improve the confinement effect of high strength concrete columns through the increase of amounts and/or strength of transverse reinforcement.

Main objective of this research is to evaluate performance of high-strength concrete (HSC) columns for ductility and strength. Eight one-third scale columns with compressive strength of 69 MPa were subjected to a constant axial load corresponding to 30 % of the column axial load capacity and a cyclic horizontal load-inducing reversed bending moment. The variables studied in this research are the volumetric ratio of transverse reinforcement (${\rho}_s=1.58$, 2.25 %), tie configuration (Type H, Type C and Type D) and tie yield strength ($f_{yh}=549$ and 779 MPa). Test results show that the flexural strength of every column exceeds the calculated flexural capacity based on the equivalent concrete stress block used in the current design code. Columns with 42 % higher amounts of transverse reinforcement than that required by seismic provisions of ACI 318-02 showed ductile behaviour, showing a displacement ductility factor (${\mu}_{{\Delta}u}$) of 3.69 to 4.85, and a curvature ductility factor (${\mu}_{{\varphi}u}$) of over 10.0. With an axial load of 30 % of the axial load capacity, it is recommended that the yield strength of transverse reinforcement be held equal to or below 549 MPa.

The main objective of this research is to examine the behavior of high-strength concrete(HSC) columns. Eight test columns in one-third scale were tested under the conditions of cyclic lateral force and a constant axial load equal to 30% of the column axial load capacity. The $200{\times}200mm$ square columns were reinforced with eight DB bars constituting a longitudinal steel ratio of 2.54% of the column cross-sectional area. The main experimental parameters were volumetric ratio of transverse reinforcement(${\rho}_s$=1.58, 2.25 percent), tie configuration(Type H, Type C, Type D) and tie yield strength($f_{yh}$=548.8 and 779.1 MPa). It was found that the hysteretic behaviour and ultimate deformability of HSC columns were influenced by the amount and details of transverse reinforcement in the potential plastic hinge regions. Columns of transverse reinforcement in the amount 42 percent higher than that required by seismic provisions of ACI 318-02 showed ductile behavior. At 30% of the axial load capacity, it is recommended that the yield strength of transverse reinforcement be held equal to or below 548.8 MPa. Correlations between the calculated damage index and the damage progress are proposed.

This paper experimentally investigates the effect of yield strength of reinforcing bars and stirrups on the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) circular piers. Reversed cyclic loading tests of nine-large scale specimens with longitudinal and transverse reinforcement of different yield strengths (varying between HRB335, HRB500E and HRB600 rebars) were conducted. The test parameters include the yield strength and amount of longitudinal and transverse reinforcement. The results indicate that the adoption of high-strength steel (HSS) reinforcement HRB500E and HRB600 (to replace HRB335) as longitudinal bars without reducing the steel area (i.e., equal volume replacement) is found to increase the moment resistance (as expected) and the total deformation capacity while reducing the residual displacement, ductility and energy dissipation capacity to some extent. Higher strength stirrups enhance the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of RC bridge piers. While the product of steel yield strength and reinforcement ratio ($f_y{\rho}_s$) is kept constant (i.e., equal strength replacement), the piers with higher yield strength longitudinal bars are found to achieve as good seismic performance as when lower strength bars are used. When higher yield strength transverse reinforcement is to be used to maintain equal strength, reducing bar diameter is found to be a better approach than increasing the tie spacing.

본 연구는 700kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ 고강도 콘크리트에서 횡보강근 형태, 체적비 그리고 횡보강근 항복강도에 따른 고강도 콘크리트기둥의 거동을 규명하기 위한 실험연구이다. 기둥은 중심축내력의 30%에 해당하는 일정축력과 수평방향의 반복 휨모멘트를 받는다. 본 연구에서 사용된 변수는 횡보강근 체적비(Ps=1.58, 2.25%), 횡보강근 형태(hoop-type, cross-type, diagonal-type) 그리고 횡보강근 항복강도(fy=5,600, 7,950 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$)이다. 실험결과로 모든 기둥의 휨강도는 현행규준의 등가응력블럭에 근거하여 산정된 휨강도보다 낮게 나타났다. 횡보강근을 ACI 규준 요구량보다 42%증가시킨 기둥 시험체는 연성적인 거동을 보였다. 그리고, 본 연구에서 적용한 축력비 0.3 P/PO하에서 고강도급 횡보강근을 사용한 시험체의 연성이 저강도급 횡보강근을 사용한 시험체의 경우보다 같거나 다소 큰 경향을 보이고 있었다.

초고강도 콘크리트의 개발에 따라 철근 압축이음에 대한 연구 필요성이 높아지고 있다. 인장이음과 마찬가지로 압축이음에서도 이음길이와 콘크리트 강도가 가장 큰 영향인자가 되며, 다음으로 압축이음에 영향을 주는 요인으로는 횡방향 보강근과 철근 지름이다. 횡방향 보강근은 이음부에서 발생된 인장응력에 저항하며, 인장이음에서는 철근 순간격 또는 피복두께와 동일한 역할을 수행하는 것으로 평가된다. 휨부재의 인장측에 주로 적용되는 인장이음은 슬래브처럼 횡보강근이 없는 경우도 있다. 그러나 압축이음이 적용되는 부재는 높은 축력이 작용되는 수직부재로, 압축 주근의 좌굴방지, 코어 콘크리트의 구속, 그리고 전단강도의 발현을 위해 횡보강근이 배근된다. 이를 활용함으로써 보다 경제적인 설계가 가능해진다. 본 연구에서는 실제 구조물에서 필연적으로 발생되는 횡방향 보강근에 대한 압축이음의 거동과 강도 특성을 실험을 통해 규명하고자 한다.

현행 기준식에 따르면 초고강도 콘크리트에서는 철근 인장이음길이보다 압축이음길이가 더 길어지는 현상 이 발생된다. 횡보강근의 영향을 반영하면 이러한 경향은 더욱 심화된다. 실제 구조물에서 반드시 존재하는 횡보강근과 철근 지름의 영향을 40, 60 MPa 콘크리트에 대한 압축이음 실험을 통해 강도와 거동 특성을 분석하였다. 지름 22, 29 mm 에 대한 실험 결과 철근 지름의 영향은 없는 것으로 나타났다. 가는 지름의 철근에서는 이음강도의 증진이 기대될 수 있으나, 압축철근에는 주로 큰 지름의 철근이 사용되므로 압축이음에서는 철근 지름의 효과를 고려할 필요가 없을 것 으로 판단된다. 횡보강근이 있는 압축이음강도는 현행 설계기준과 비교할 때 100% 이상 크므로 횡보강근을 고려한 새 로운 설계기준식의 정립이 필요하다. 지압은 이음 단부에 배근된 횡보강근에 의해서만 강도가 향상되며, 이음구간에 배 근된 횡보강근에는 무관하다. 횡보강근량이 많을수록 부착에 의해 발현되는 강도는 거의 선형적으로 증가하며, 이음단 부에만 횡보강근을 배근해도 부착강도가 6% 향상되었다. 횡보강근이 배근된 경우 부착에 의해 발현되는 강도는 인장이 음에 비해 동등하거나 더 낮아지므로, 인장이음에 비해 압축이음의 강도 증진은 단부 지압 효과로만 설명될 수 있다.

An experimental investigation was conducted to examine the hysteric behavior of Ultra-High strength concrete columns for the requirement of ACI provision. Seven 1/3 scaled columns were fabricated to simulate an 1/2 story of actual structural members with the cross section $300\times300mm$ and the shear span ratio 4. The main variables are axial load ratio, configuration and volumetric ratio of transverse reinforcement. It has been found that the behavior of columns was affected by axial load ratio rather than the amount and the configuration of transverse reinforcement. Consequently, to secure the ductile behavior of 100MPa Ultra-High strength concrete columns, ACI provision for the requirement of transverse steel may considered axial level and the detail of transverse reinforcement.
