Abstract

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.
