At present, extensive studies have been conducted relative to the topic of fiber-reinforced polymer(FRP)- reinforced concrete (RC) flexural members, and many design methods have also been introduced. There have, however, been few studies conducted on the topic of FRP-RC compression members. In light of this, eight glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP)-RC square columns (200×200×600 mm) were tested in order to investigate their axial compression performance. These columns were reinforced with GFRP longitudinal reinforcement and confined GFRP stirrup. These experiments investigated the effects of the longitudinal reinforcement ratio, stirrup configuration (spirals versus hoops) and spacing on the load-carrying capacity and failure modes of GFRP-RC rectangular columns. The test results indicate that the load-carrying capacity of longitudinal GFRP bars accounted for 3%-7% of the ultimate load-carrying capacity of the columns. The ultimate load-carrying capacity of RC columns confined with GFRP spirals increased by 0.8%-1.6% with higher ductility, compared to GFRP hoops. Reducing the stirrup spacing may prevent the buckling failure of the longitudinal bars and increase the ductility and load-carrying capacity of the GFRP-RC columns. It has been found that setting the GFRP compressive strength to 35% of the GFRP maximum tensile strength yields a reasonable estimate of ultimate load-carrying capacity of GFRP-RC columns.

A new type of concrete-filled square steel tubular column to steel-encased concrete composite beam joint is proposed. In order to study the influences of parameters on bearing capacity for the joint formed plastic hinge in the beam end, nonlinear finite element analysis under monotonic loading is conducted by software ANSYS. The results show that axial compression ratio has little influence on joint bearing capacity, and with the increasing of it, the bearing capacity is enhanced slightly. The height of U-shape steel has a significant impact on joint bearing capacity, and with the rise of it, the bearing capacity is enhanced obviously. The thickness of U-shape steel has a comparatively obvious effect on joint bearing capacity with certain limits, and with the growth of it, the bearing capacity of the joint is also grown observably. The diameter of longitudinal reinforcement in the flange slab of beam has some effects on joint bearing capacity, and with the improvement of diameter, the bearing capacity is achieved.

Spun pile is one of the types of piles are widely used in the world construction, for example in building and bridge. Spun pile is a prestressed concrete pile with circular hollow section. This paper provides an overview of the research development of spun pile, starting from 80's until now. This overview is related to methods of increasing the strength and reliability of spun pile due to earthquake loads, either by modifying the longitudinal reinforcement and confinement. In addition, this paper also discusses about the failure patterns of spun pile due to seismic loads. Finally, this paper can be a reference for understanding the scope of the research topics that have been done by researchers. Thus, by this overview can be obtained new idea for the next research to improve the performance of spun pile carry seismic loads.

This paper presents the results of reinforced concrete columns strengthened by addition of a self-compacting concrete overlay at the compressed and at the tensioned face of the member, with and without addition of longitudinal steel bars. Eight columns were submit- ted to loading with an initial eccentricity of 60 mm . These columns had 120 mm x 250 mm of rectangular cross section, 2000 mm in length and four longitudinal reinforcement steel bars with 10 mm in diameter. Reference columns P1 and P2 were tested to failure without any type of rehabilitation. Columns P3 to P8 were loaded to a predefined load (close to the initial yield point of tension reinforce- ment), then unloaded and strengthened for a subsequent test until failure. Results showed that the method of rehabilitation used was effective, increasing the loading capacity of the strengthened pieces by 2 to 5 times the ultimate load of the reference column.

The reinforced concrete span beam structures work with small, middle and large shear spans under the action of cyclic loads of high levels is investigated. It is established that researches of physical models development of bending reinforced concrete elements fatigue resistance to the cyclic action of transverse forces and calculation methods on its base are important and advisable due to following features of said load type: the nonlinearity of deformation, damage accumulation in the form of fatigue micro- and macrocracks, fatigue destruction of materials etc. The key expressions of the concrete endurance limits definition (objective strength), longitudinal reinforcement, anchoring of longitudinal reinforcement, which consists the endurance of whole construction are determined. Also the role and the features of influence of vibro-creep deformations on the change mechanics of stress-strain state of concrete and reinforcement of research elements are investigated.
