Axiai Compressive Experimental Study on Full-scale Square Concrete Columns Confined by High-strength Spiral Hoops

摘要

3 specimens of full-scale reinforced concrete columns were tested under monotonic axial loading, in which the hoop configuration of one specimen was #, and the other two used the two-directional composite spiral hoops. The axial compressive performances of full-scale reinforced concrete columns confined by different configurations and strengths of hoops were discussed. One of the columns confined by spiral hoops used high-strength steels with the yield strength of lOOOMPa as hoops, while the other two columns used ordinary-strength steel with yield strength of 400MPa. Columns confined by spiral hoops exhibited slight higher bearing capacity and better deformation ability than columns with hoop configuration #. The results also indicated that compared with the specimen used ordinary-strength hoops, the bearing capacity of the specimen used high-strength hoops was basically the same, but the deformation ability improved obviously.
