Abstract:
In this paper, the axial compression performance and stress-strain relationship of confined high-strength recycled aggregate concrete (HSRAC) columns were investigated and assessed through uniaxial compression tests. The test variables included the recycled coarse aggregate replacement ratio (RCA-RR), stirrup ratio, steel fiber content, concrete strength, and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer sheet confinement. The results revealed that the incorporation of RCA in concrete led to an increase in the peak strain as well as a reduction in the elastic modulus and ductility. The brittle characteristic of HSRAC became more significant with the increase in the RCA-RR, which was reflected in the steeper descending branch of the stress-strain curve. However, enhancing lateral confinement or adding steel fibers could compensate for the weakness of the poor deformation capacity of HSRAC. The elastic-plastic deformation index of hoop-confined HSRAC with a 2% stirrup ratio was 69.70% higher than that of unconfined HSRAC. Meanwhile, the addition of steel fiber with a volume content of 1% improved the ultimate strain of hoop-confined HSRAC by 55.45%. Based on tests conducted on thirty columns, the analytic expression of the stress-strain model for the confined HSRAC was developed by regression analysis, and the accuracy of the recommended model was verified through finite element analysis.
