Experimental research program of high-strength slender reinforced concrete columns subjected to compression and biaxial bending

摘要

An experimental research of high-strength concrete column subjected to eccentric load is presented. The general purpose of this research program is the knowledge of structural behaviour of slender high-strength concrete columns with a point of view to apply this technology to design buildings and civil structures. The aims of this research program are: design test, analyse experimental data, check, validate and propose simplified methods to design high-strength concrete columns, give empirical recommendations based on performed tests about project and design high-strength concrete columns.
