DEVELOPMENT OF RC COLUMNS WITH USING HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE

Behavior of High-Strength Concrete Rectangular Columns

This paper summarizes the test results of an extensive research program sponsored by the US Transportation Research Board of the National Research Council to examine the behavior of high-strength concrete rectangular columns subjected to concentric and eccentric loading conditions. The variables considered in this investigation were concrete strength ranging from 7.9 ksi (55 MPa) to 16.5 ksi (1...

Compressive Strength of Confined Concrete in CCFST Columns

This paper presents a new model for predicting the compressive strength of steel-confined concrete on circular concrete filled steel tube (CCFST) stub columns under axial loading condition based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) by using a large wide of experimental investigations. The input parameters were selected based on past studies such as outer diameter of column, compressive strength...

Development of High-strength Self-consolidating Concrete

Performance of High-strength Concrete Made with Recycled Ceramic Aggregates

Recent scientific concerns to achieve sustainability in construction have suggested the implementation of using recycled aggregate in concrete because it has the potential to reduce the demand for extraction of natural raw materials and decrease the volume of wastes landfilled. In this respect, this study aims to investigate the suitability of using ceramic tile (CT) and ceramic sanitary (CS) w...

Axial Compressive Strength of Reinforced Concrete Columns Wrapped with Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP)

This paper presents the results of a study on the axial compressive strength of columnsstrengthened with FRP wrap. The experimental part of the study included testing 6 reinforcedconcrete columns in two series. The first series comprised three similar circular reinforced concretecolumns strengthened with FRP wrap. The second series consisted of three similar square columns,two with sharp corner...
