For expedite the development of high titanium heavy slag concrete, eight high titanium heavy slag high strength reinforced concrete (HTHS-HSRC) scale model column are studied. The eight HTHS-HSRC model columns are tested under reversed horizontal force. Primary experimental parameters include axial load ratio varying from 0.3 to 0.5, volumetric ratios of transverse reinforcement ranging from 1.38% to 1.56%, strength of high titanium heavy slag high strength concrete varying from 55.9 to 61.6 N/mm2 and configurations of transverse reinforcement. It is found from the test result that HTHS-HSRC model columns provides comparable seismic performance to those usually used reinforced concrete column in terms of member ductility, hysteretic and energy dissipation capacity. Primary Factors of Displacement Ductility of Model Columns are also discussed.

This paper focuses on the the relationship between strength and ductility of high-strength concrete (HSC) columns with high-strength aseismic transverse reinforcement under concentric compression and its influencing factors. Some confining models for HSC with high-strength aseismic transverse reinforcement are introduced. Based on 10 groups of high-strength aseismic stirrup confined high-strength concrete square columns are tested under concentric compression, the influence of stirrup in binding strength and the ductility of concrete columns on different stirrup strength, different volume ratio of reinforcement, different stirrups type and different stirrup spacing form is studied by using finite element software ABAQUS. The results indicate that a good agreement is obtained between calculated results and experimental ones. The high-strength stirrup confined concrete columns can improve the bearing capacity and deformation performance of components effectively, laying the foundation of the applications of high-strength stirrups in concrete structures.

The number of high-rise reinforced concrete (RC) buildings is steadily increasing since 1980’s. The use of high strength concrete is indispensible for high-rise RC construction to ensure sufficient strength of the structure. The effect of high strength concrete can be significantly improved by the use of high strength and large size reinforcing bars. The yield strength of transverse reinforcement is limited in the current design codes to prevent possible sudden concrete failure due to over reinforcement. This paper presents the effects of the yield strength of transverse reinforcement and compressive strength of concrete on the structural behavior of reinforced concrete cylinders. Two parameters were considered in this investigation: compressive strength of concrete and the yield strength of transverse reinforcement (472MPa, 880MPa, and 1,430 MPa). Analytical and experimental results indicated that the structural behavior of RC cylinders confined with high strength transverse reinforcement is strongly influenced by compressive strength of concrete.
