TESTS OF HIGH-STRENGTH CONCRETE COLUMNS WITH INTERVENING FLOOR SLABS

The results of 12 recent tests of column-slab-column specimens, in which very high-strength reinforced concrete columns are separated by ordinary strength reinforced concrete slabs, has shown that the provisions of the current ACI code for the interior column cases are not necessarily conservative. The new tests greatly extend both the range of strengths and the concrete used in the columns, and the range of the ratio of column concrete strength to slab concrete strength. Details of the study are described and the conclusions drawn from the results are presented.
