Study on Eccentric Compressive Behavior of Concrete Columns Reinforced with NPR735 High-Strength Steel Bars

Abstract

In this paper, eccentric compressive tests and theoretical studies of grade 735 MPa reinforced concrete columns were conducted. The eccentric distance and strength of the longitudinal reinforcement were used as experimental parameters to investigate the bearing capacity, failure mode, and strength of eccentric compressive behavior of NPR735 high-strength steel bars. When the load eccentricity of the reinforced concrete columns was small or longitudinal, the reinforcement ratio was large, and small eccentricity failure occurred. The results were similar to the failure mode of ordinary concrete columns with traditional steel bars. When the load eccentricity decreased, the bearing capacity increased, but the deflection and ductility of the specimen decreased. When the strength of the longitudinal reinforcement increased, the bearing capacity of the specimen increased slightly. Finally, according to current design methods in the concrete structure design code, the bearing capacity of the eccentric compressive column was obtained, and the calculated results were compared with the experimental results to verify the applicability of the concrete structure design code GB50010-2010 to concrete columns with grade 735 MPa reinforcement.
