Summary
The fragile and explosive behaviour of high-strength concrete structural elements
remains a problem and risks the lives' of occupants inside the structure during an
earthquake. This paper reports the numerical simulation results of high-strength
concrete columns under flexure and axial load. In addition, the best reinforcement
configuration to achieve the desired ductile behaviour was researched. The columns
ductility was studied by observing the moment-curvature curve of different columns
with different configurations by varying the following parameters: concrete
compressive strength, spacing, yield strength, diameter of the hoops, longitudinal
reinforcement rate, and the rate of the axial load applied to the column. It appears
that the influence of different parameters is sometimes important, the interaction
between them is variable and adequate confinement with transverse reinforcement
can be a good option to solve this problem.
