Abstract

Steel-straps tensioning technique (SSTT) has been proven to be an effective mean to confined High-strength concrete (HSC). The pretensioned force offers by this confining method can significantly restraint the small lateral dilation of HSC. However, most of the design guidelines only concerned with FRP-confined columns subjected to concentric compression. The direct application of these design guidelines on the SSTT-confined HSC column is being questioned due to different material and confining method adopted. Hence, a numerical study was carried out in the view of developing a simple design equation for HSC column confined with SSTT. The parameters such as SSTT-confinement ratio, load eccentricities and slenderness ratio were tested. Based on the numerical results, design equations based on regression analysis were proposed to determine the ultimate load and bending moment of SSTT-confined HSC columns.
