Abstract
This article presents a literature review of experimental studies of reinforced concrete columns under central compression. The studies reviewed include a number of experimental tests of spiral-reinforced concrete columns. Columns made of high-strength concrete with circular or rectangular cross-sections are considered and discussed in detail. It is shown that a significant increase in the strength and ductility of high-strength concrete columns can be achieved by using an adequate amount of spiral reinforcement. The volumetric content of spiral reinforcement, the spacing, and the strength of concrete affect the stress-strain state of confined concrete in high-strength reinforced concrete columns. In almost all cases, an increase in the volumetric content of spiral reinforcement leads to an increase in the strength and ductil-ity of the confined concrete core, as well as to an increase in the stresses in the spiral reinforcement when the concrete reaches its maximum strength.
