Strength of biaxially loaded high strength reinforced concrete columns
Cengiz Dundar and Serkan Tokgoz

 
Abstract
    An experimental research was conducted to investigate the strength of biaxially loaded short and slender reinforced concrete columns with high strength concrete. In the study, square and L-shaped section reinforced concrete columns were constructed and tested to obtain the load-deformation behaviour and strength of columns. The test results of column specimens were analysed with a theoretical method based on the fiber element technique. The theoretical ultimate strength capacities and the test results of column specimens have been compared and discussed in the paper. Besides this, observed failure mode and experimental and theoretical load-lateral deflection behaviour of the column specimens are presented.
 
Key Words
    high strength concrete column; ultimate strength; stress-strain relationship; slenderness effect
