This paper is on experimental study on the behavior of reinforced concrete columns subjected to longitudinal steel ratio To investigate the effects of concrete strength and longitedinal steel ratio on the behavior of reinforced concrete columns. a series of tests were carried out for thirty-six tied reinforced concrete columns with a 100mm square cross section and three slendemess ratio of 15, 30 and 50. And To study and illustrate the change of the ultimate loads and that of displacements, two different concrete strength of 180,26kfg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 819,36kfg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and five different longitudinal steel ratio of 0.5, 1.0, 4.0, 5.7 and 10.3% were used. The boundary conditions at the ends were both hinged and the end eccentricities (17mm) were equal and of the same sign. While the ultimate load capacity of high-strength concrete column was much increased when the columns were short, that was not when the columns were slender. The effect of longitudinal steel ratio on the increased of ultimate load of column was more evident for slender columns than for short ones and the ultimate of longitudinal steel ratio were more pronounced with increasing concrete strength. The more inserted the longitudinal steel, the more increased the ultimate load, but the superabundance of longitudinal steel ratio over the limitation of maximum steel ratio in ACI code was used, it was showed that the ultimate load was rather decreased.

A typical marine platform in the Bay of Campeche is studied from the standpoint of structural reliability, and several characteristics of its deck such as slenderness and diameter/thickness ratios of the legs and actual degree of correlation between some variables are taken into account. The global and local buckling capacities of the deck legs are compared and the correlation coefficient between the critical axial load and the critical moment is assessed in order to validate its influence on the structural reliability. In addition, the influence of the vertical load, and its uncertainty, on the variance of the decks capacity, and latter on, on the platform's failure probability is assessed. The results presented may be used in future studies to further extend and upgrade the first version of the Reference Norm (PEMEX, 2000) and, in the longer term, to improve the current practice in the Design and Requalification of Offshore Marine Platforms in the Bay of Campeche.
