Abstract

This paper presents a new method aimed at overcoming the steel cage congestion for high-strength concrete (HSC) columns. The proposed method uses carbon fiber mesh as internal confinement reinforcement together with the conventional transverse steel reinforcement providing the required confinement level as well as fire resistance for the columns. A special test setup that includes a portable furnace was developed to perform tests of HSC columns exposed simultaneously to high temperatures and axial loads. The test results show the effectiveness of the dual confinement system compared to that of the conventional steel-reinforced columns in terms of strength and ductility.
