Concrete confined by rectangular hoops and subjected to axial loads
Abstract
Results of an experimental investigation carried out on the subject of concrete confined by rectangular hoops subjected to axial loads are reported. The behavior of the confined concrete was studied regarding the effect of three parameters: (1) concrete cover, (2) lateral reinforcement (confinement), and (3) longitudinal reinforcement. Fourteen prismatic specimens were tested. These were subjected to monotonically increasing axial compressive loads applied at low strain rates. The experimental results obtained were then evaluated and subsequently compared.
