Abstract
The performance of high strength concrete columns under a
perfectly axial load is analysed. The main characteristic of
these columns is their high compressive strength, which
produces substantial savings resulting from the reduction of
the column cross section. The formulas provided in the
Norwegian Standard NS 3473, British Standard
BS 81 10, American Code ACI 3 18 and
CEB-FIP Model Code 1990 are presented. The results
derived from these codes are compared with experimental
values obtained by several researchers. It can be concluded,
for instance, that the design based on a consideration of the
core bounded by reinforcing bars leads to better results
compared with those values which consider the total cross
section of the column.
