Abstract
This research proposed a method for producing reinforced composite concrete columns, reinforced with different types of steel wire meshes. The experimental program included casting and testing of nine square columns with dimensions of 200 mm × 200 mm × 1500 mm under eccentric compression load, with an eccentricity equaling 25 mm from the column center in x direction. The experimental program specimens comprised of four designation series to make comparative study between conventionally reinforced concrete columns. Concrete columns reinforced with steel bars and stirrups as control specimen and other groups were expanded steel mesh and welded steel mesh but the fourth group used modified and galvanized steel wire meshes of expanded and welded type. The main variables were type of reinforcing materials, number of layers and volume fraction of reinforcement. The main objective was to …
