In　order　to　investigate　the　seismic　behavior　of　high-performance　concrete　columns　with　HRB600　steel　bars,　reversed　cyclic　load　tests　on　six　high-strength　concrete　columns　with　square　section　of　600　mm×600　mm　were　carried　out　under　high　axial　compressive　forces.　The　specimens　included　two　normal　concrete　columns　with　HRB600　steel　bars　and　four　steel　fiber　concrete　columns　with　HRB600　steel　bars.　The　failure　modes,　hysteretic　properties,　bearing　capacity,　stiffness　degradation,　ductility　and　energy　dissipation　capacity　of　the　test　specimens　were　compared　and　analyzed.　A　restoring　force　model　for　steel　fiber　high-strength　concrete　column　with　HRB600　steel　bars　was　established　based　on　the　test　results.　The　results　show　that　steel　fibers　can　reduce　the　crack　width　of　the　high-strength　concrete　columns,　prevent　the　concrete　cover　from　peeling　off,　decrease　the　residual　deformation　of　the　columns　and　improve　their　restorability　after　earthquakes.　The　steel　fiber　high-strength　concrete　columns　with　HRB600　steel　bars　have　good　deformation　capacity,　and　furthermore,　the　displacement　ductility　coefficient　increases　with　the　increase　of　the　steel　fiber　content.　The　restoring　force　model　of　the　steel　fiber　reinforced　concrete　columns　with　HRB600　steel　bars　based　on　experimental　data　is　calculated　accurately,　and　this　kind　of　columns　have　good　seismic　performance　and　can　satisfy　the　requirements　of　the　seismic　design　code,　making　them　suitable　for　engineering　application.　©　2019,　Editorial　Office　of　Journal　of　Building　Structures.　All　right　reserved.
