Abstract:
In this paper the relationship between spalling of the cover in high strength concrete (HSC) columns and the strength of the section is investigated. A cover spalling theory is developed and it is shown to correlate well with experimental data. Design models are presented to calculate the strength of HSC columns and to calculate maximum tie spacing for ductility requirements.
