DUCTILITY AND STRENGTH IN HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE (HSC) COLUMNS

Presented are the results of tests on 58 eccentrically and concentrically loaded high strength concrete (HSC) columns. Primary variables investigated include the effects of confinement, cover and specimen shape. Recorded data showed that the ties were not at yield at the peak load and, for many of the specimens tested, failure occurred at loads considerably below theoretical. The study concludes that HSC columns should not be designed for axial loads exceeding the capacity of the confined core.
