Abstract
Introduction:
This study includes the analysis of the strength capacity of high performance reinforced concrete columns subjected to concentric axial loading. The main variables are based on the compressive strength of concrete and steel reinforcing ratios. All the columns are fixed, supported by two ends.
Methods:
This study is based on a calculation done according to ACI Code-318M-2011 equations for columns analysis to evaluate the ultimate strength then applied these load on samples to compare between them by software program Prokon V.3. The comparison is based on reinforcement ratio and moment resistance capacity.
Results:
The analysis results show that when increasing the main reinforcement with high-performance concrete led, there will be an increased load capacity by about (40 to 215%) and moment resistance capacity by about (35 to 50%) with the same load conditions. According to the analysis of the results, the moment resistance capacity of constant sample value with different reinforcing ratio leads to these resist depending on the load applied, and the concrete compressive strength of columns.
Conclusion:
Reasonable correlation of the results is demonstrated, which ensured the adequacy of the analysis by test program, both hand calculation and software Prokon.V.3.
