Effect of confinement conditions on the stress-strain relations of concrete

구속조건이 콘크리트 응력-변형률 관계에 미치는 영향

The confined concrete subjected multi-axial stresses have been known as the strength of concrete increases significantly. Many researchers have studied in confining effects of concrete, and now are studying in many fields. However, there are few passive confinements by steel tube. Although Mander et al. studied the concrete confined by transverse reinforcements, the confinement by steel tube differs from confining of reinforcements. To investigate the influence of concrete strength increased by confining conditions in steel, 51 specimens confined by different shapes and thicknesses of steel tube were tested and compared.
