Experimental Study on the Axial Loading Tests of RC Columns Strengthened with Steel Tube

Abstract:

This paper carries out a series of experimental study on 6 column specimens, analyses and compares with the different parameters on the axial loading tests of RC columns and RC columns strengthened with steel tube. The experimental results show that the RC columns strengthened with steel tube take full advantage of loading properties of both materials, thus greatly improve the bearing capacity of specimens. With the same wall thickness steel tube, the improving degree of bearing capacity of long columns is bigger than the short columns, and the reinforcement effect is more obvious. The experimental results can offer reference for scientific research and engineering staff, and promote this reinforcement method to be widely used in engineering practice.
