Structural behaviour of high-strength concrete column confined with steel strapping tensioning technique subjected to constant axial and lateral cyclic loads

Ductility is the main consideration in designing reinforced concrete (RC) structures. The application of high-strength concrete (HSC) in columns is able to reduce the column sizes and optimize the floor area of a building. Besides, reduction in building self-weight can minimise the seismic load acti...

Structural behaviour of high-strength concrete column confined with steel strapping tensioning technique subjected to constant axial and lateral cyclic loads
description Ductility is the main consideration in designing reinforced concrete (RC) structures. The application of high-strength concrete (HSC) in columns is able to reduce the column sizes and optimize the floor area of a building.

This research is conducted to study the effectiveness of SSTT in improving the ductility and deformability of HSC columns subjected to constant axial load and reversed cyclic horizontal loading which represents simulated seismic excitation since SSTT is yet to be tested under cyclic loading. A series of experimental work consisted often specimens with concrete compressive strength of 35 MPa, 55 MPa and 85 MPa were carried out.
