Abstract
AbstractThe lateral confinement of stirrups can improve the load‐bearing capacity and ductility of reactive powder concrete (RPC) columns. To explore the compression behavior of RPC confined with high‐strength stirrups, 45 specimens were prepared and tested under axial compression. The concrete strength was in the range of 99.86–138.24 MPa, the tensile strength of stirrups was Grade 800, Grade 970, and Grade 1270, and the volumetric ratios of stirrups were in the range of 0.9%–2.0%. The results showed that the failure modes of RPC confined with stirrups were shear expansion failure. The compressive strength and ductility of confined RPC were improved with the increase of stirrups volumetric ratios, while stirrups strength slightly affected the compressive strength and ductility. In addition, the peak stress, peak strain, and residual stress prediction models were proposed. Furthermore, the ductility index prediction models were proposed, which can be applied to determine the volumetric ratio of stirrups in stirrups confined concrete columns.
