Abstract This study presents the effect of confinement variables on strength and ductility of normal and high strength reinforced concrete columns confined with transverse steel under axial compressive loading. Nineteen normal strength concrete rectangular columns were tested in this research. A set of Twenty high strength concrete columns tested by other researchers were analyzed. The study presents a nonlinear finite element analysis for these specimens using ANSYS15. A parametric numerical study was conducted by ANSYS15 to clarify and evaluate the effect of new values of variables on strength and ductility of the columns. Analytical model for effective concrete strength was developed for normal-strength and high-strength concrete columns |
