Abstract

Novel engineered cementitious composite (ECC) columns reinforced with hybrid reinforcement (longitudinal steel-FRP composite bars (SFCBs) and GFRP stirrups) exhibit superior load capacity, ductility, and corrosion resistance. However, the lack of research on their axial compression behavior and the key parameters seriously limits their safe application. To address this research gap, experimental investigations of 22 column specimens were conducted to evaluate their axial compression behavior. The effects of matrix type, ECC strength, hybrid reinforcement, longitudinal reinforcement type, longitudinal reinforcement ratio, and volumetric stirrup ratio were discussed. The test results show that, compared to concrete columns, unreinforced and reinforced ECC columns have 12.5 % and 10.7 % higher load capacity, respectively, with enhanced ductility characteristics. The use of ECC effectively reduces specimen damage. Longitudinal SFCBs can work synergistically with ECC, efficiently maintaining their integrity before ECC crushing. Notably, replacing longitudinal steel bars with equal-stiffness SFCBs leads to similar compression behavior of columns, including axial load capacity and ductility. The excellent tensile properties and fiber bridging effect of ECC slow the development of stirrup strain and prevent premature slip of GFRP stirrups. Furthermore, a modified prediction model of axial load capacity was proposed, which has excellent accuracy for this novel type of column.
