An Experimental Study on the Effects of Lateral Reinforcement of High-Strength R/C Columns Subjected to Reversed Cyclic and Axial Forces

축력과 반복횡력을 받는 고강도 R/C 기둥의 횡보강근 효과에 관한 실험적 연구

An experimental investigation was conducted to examine the behavior of high-strength concrete R/C columns subjected to moment, shear and axial load. The test parameters of specimens were the compressive strength of concrete(f'c=250, 516, 600kg/ ㎠), space of lateral reinforcement (20, 30, 37cm) and lateral reinforcement ratio(ρs=2.1, 3.15%). Test results indicated that compressive strength of concrete and lateral reinforcement can significantly affect and alter the behavior of column under inelastic cyclic loadings. Despite of the defaults of high-strength concrete, with increased amount of lateral reinforcement ratio to core concrete and added sub-lateral reinforcement, ductility and strength of RC columns used high-strength concrete can secured.
