Structural Performance of Concrete Columns Incorporating Advanced Materials and Structural Systems
Also Known As:
ACI SP-341:2020 is a special publication by the American Concrete Institute that focuses on the structural performance of concrete columns incorporating advanced materials and structural systems. The publication is a compilation of various research papers and studies conducted by experts in the field, presenting the state-of-the-art on innovative bridge columns.
The standard highlights the use of high-performance materials such as ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), engineered cementitious composite (ECC), high-strength concrete, high-strength steel, and shape memory alloys. These materials are used in combination with conventional or advanced construction systems to enhance the resilience of reinforced concrete columns against natural and man-made disasters such as earthquakes and blast loading.
The publication includes a table of contents that lists the different research papers included in the standard. These papers cover a wide range of topics, including the behavior of high-strength concrete and normal-strength concrete columns under blast loading, combined use of UHPC and high-performance steel for improved blast performance, the parameters affecting the axial load response of UHPC columns, comparative structural response of UHPC and normal strength concrete columns under cyclic loading, and more.
