This study proposed a new type of concrete column that was confined with both steel angles and spiral hoops, named angle-steel and spiral confined concrete (ASCC) column. A total of 22 ASCC stub columns were tested under axial compression to investigate their behavior. For a comparison, three angle-steel reinforced concrete (ARC) stub columns were also tested. The test results indicated that ASCC column had a superior mechanical performance. The strength, ductility and energy absorption were considerably increased due to the improvement of confinement from spiral hoops. The confinement behavior and failure mechanism of ASCC column were investigated by the analysis of failure mode, load-deformation curve and section-strain distribution. Parametric studies were carried out to examine the influences of different parameters on the axial compression behavior of ASCC columns. A calculation approach was developed to predict the ultimate load carrying capacity of ASCC columns under axial compression. It was validated that the predicted results were in well agreement with the experimental results.

Existing research on confined concrete filled steel tubular (CCFT) columns has been mainly focused on static or cyclic loading. In this paper, square section CCFT and CFT columns were tested under both static and impact loading, using a 10,000 kN capacity compression test machine and a drop weight testing equipment. Research parameters included bonded and unbonded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) wraps, with carbon, basalt and glass FRPs (or CFRP, BFRP, and GFRP), respectively. Time history curves for impact force and steel strain observed are discussed in detail. Experimental results show that the failure modes of specimens under impact testing were characterized by local buckling of the steel tube and cracking at the corners, for both CCFT and CFT columns, similar to those under static loading. For both static and impact loading, the FRP wraps could improve the behavior and increase the loading capacity. To analyze the dynamic behavior of the composite columns, a finite element, FE, model was established in LS-DYNA. A simplified method that is compared favorably with test results is also proposed to predict the impact load capacity of square CCFT columns.

섬유에 의하여 보강된 콘크리트의 압축강도와 최대 변형률은 현저하게 증가한다. 지난 10여년간 섬유보강 콘크리트의 구속효과에 대한 많은 연구가 수행되었지만, 기존 제안식의 대부분은 횡구속된 콘크리트의 압축강도 예측에 중점을 두고 있으며, 예측된 최대변형률은 실제값을 과대 또는 과소 평가하는 경향이 있다. 이 논문에서는 콘크리트 실린더 실험을 통해, 섬유보강된 콘크리트의 압축강도 및 최대변형률을 예측할 수 있는 평가식을 제안하였다. 구속콘크리트의 압축강도와 섬유의 파단강도 및 시험체의 크기효과를 고려하여 제안된 평가식은 기존의 제안식보다 정확하게 구속 콘크리트의 압축강도 및 최대 변형률을 예측하였다. 또한 섬유의 응력-변형률곡선의 특성을 고려하여 제안된 구속 콘크리트의 축방향 응력-변형률곡선은 탄소섬유에 의하여 구속된 콘크리트의 응력-변형률곡선을 기존의 제안식보다 정확하게 추적하였다.

철근콘크리트 구조물은 일반적으로 지진에 연성적으로 거동하도록 설계되며, 이러한 연성적인 거동을 위하여 구조부재는 주의 깊게 상세 설계되어진다. 모멘트 연성골조 구조물의 경우 기둥의 소성힌지 구역에서 횡보강근의 상세는 중요한 고려사항이다. 수 년 동안 강도와 연성을 항상시키기 위한 횡보강근의 상세에 대한 인구가 많은 연구자들에 의해 진행되어 왔고, 그 결과 횡보강근에 의한 코아 콘크리트의 적절한 구속과 주근의 횡방향 지지는 기둥의 연성을 가장 효과적으로 증진시키는 것으로 증명되었다. 횡보강근에 의해 구속된 콘크리트의 강도와 연성증진을 고려한 응력-변형률 특성에 대한 연구는 지난 30년 동안 급속하게 이루어졌다. 그러나 현재까지도 구속된 고강도 콘크리트의 특성을 정확하게 예측할 수 있는 모델은 거의 없으며, 이에 대한 자료도 부족한 것으로 보고되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 강도, 횡보강근의 체적비, 횡보강근의 배근형태 및 간격, 주근의 배열을 주요변수로 하여 고 강도 콘크리트를 사용한 Large-Scale의 기둥을 대상으로 구조실험을 수행하였다. 연구결과 기존 모델의 일부는 최대 응력을 과대평가, 최대 응력에서의 변형률을 과소평가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 대부분의 모델이 응력-변형률 곡선의 하강부분을 합리적으로 예측하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 구속된 고 강도 콘크리트의 거동을 정확히 예측하여 설계에 반영될 수 있는 합리적이면서 실용적인 모델의 개발이 요구된다 하겠다.

The stress-strain curve of concrete confined with both lateral ties and carbon fiber sheet(CFS) is different to that of concrete confined with only lateral ties or CFS. The objective of this study is to investigate the stress-strain relation of reinforced concrete columns confined by composite material. The main variable of the specimens was the content rate of lateral ties to CFS. In the test a total 24 rectangular specimens, which are all 148$\times$148$\times$300mm size. The test results indicated that while the compressive strength of specimens confined with both lateral ties and CFS increased proportionally to the aided amount of two materials, the maximum strain of specimens depended on the larger strain of lateral ties or CFS.

The inelastic behavior of a reinforced concrete columns is influenced by a number of factors : 1) level of axial load, 2) tie spacing, 3) volumetric ratio of lateral steel, 4) concrete strength, 5) distribution of longitudinal steel, 6) strength of lateral steel, 7) cover thickness, 8) configuration of lateral steel, 9) strain gradient, 10) strain rate, 11) the effectively confined concrete core area, and 12) amount of longitudinal steel. A new constitutive model of a confined concrete is suggested in order to investigate the nonlinear behavior of the reinforced concrete columns under concentric loading. The developed constitutive model for the confined concrete takes into account the effects of effectively confined area as well as the horizontal and longitudinal distributions of the confining pressures. None of the existing models incorporated these two main effects at the same time. A total of different six constitutive models for the behavior of the confined concrete under concentric compression were compared with the sixty-one test results reported by different researchers. The superiority of the developed model in its accuracy is demonstrated by evaluating the error function, which compares the weighted averages for the sum of squared relative differences in peak compressive strength and corresponding strain, stress at strain equal to 0.015, and total area under stress-strain curve up to strain equal to 0.015.

Numerical studies are performed to predict the stress-strain behavior of rectangular RC columns confined by multi-spiral hoops under axial and eccentric compressions. Using the commercial finite element package ABAQUS, the Drucker-Prager criterion and the yield surface are adopted for damaged plasticity concrete. The proposed finite element models are compared with the published experimental data. Parametric studies on concrete grades, confinement arrangement, diameter and spacing of hoops and eccentricity of load are followed. Numerical results have shown good agreements with experimental values, and indicated a proper constitutive law and model for concrete. Cross-sectional areas and spacing of the hoops have significant effect on the bearing capacity. It can be concluded that rectangular RC columns confined by multi-spiral hoops show better performance than the conventional ones.

This study investigated the behavior of R/C column confined with headed crossties subjected to eccentric loading. The 16 specimens are designed to have adequate confinement steel, determined by ACI seismic design. The variables studied in this research test are eccentricity to depth ratios, spacing of lateral steel and the anchor type of end of crossties. From the test results, all columns showed similar behavior up to the peak load but those columns laterally confined with head presented more ductile behavior after the peak load. The comparisons indicate that the flexural behavior of confined-concrete columns can be computed resonable accurately by P-M interaction curve.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study to investigate the mechanical behavior of partially encased composite columns confined by CFRP under axial compression. The results show that the failure of the partially encased composite columns confined by CFRP occurred due to rupture of the CFRP followed by local buckling of the steel flanges. External wrapping of CFRP effectively delayed the local buckling of the steel flanges. The load carrying capacity of the column increased with the application of CFRP sheet. And the enhancement effect of the column was increased with the number of CFRP layer.
