Abstract
An experimental study is carried out to investigate the effect of type of lateral reinforcement as a confining material and also the
effect of mineral admixtures on compressive strength of concrete in the column composite. For this, the work is carried out in two
phases. In the first phase, Short columns were casted by varying volumetric ratio and spacing of lateral reinforcement. The effect
of spacing, volumetric ratio on ultimate load carrying capacity of short columns is studied. And in the second phase, Short
columns with different types of mineral admixtures like fly ash and GGBS are developed. All the columns were tested in the
Universal Testing Machine of 1000 kN capacity. The effect of these admixtures on ultimate load capacity of short columns is
studied. Also, modes of failures, crack pattern, stress-strain patterns are also studied in both stages. The test results indicate that
with increase in volumetric ratio of steel, the strength and ductility of column increases and the columns in which 20% GGBS is
replaced shows high strength. From the modes of failure it is observed that the short columns shows brittle fracture and zone of
rupture is observed at top and bottom ends of the columns and this zone of rupture is decreases with the decrease in spacing of
ties. The spacing of ties is strongly influencing zone of rupture in all type of columns is observed in this study.
Keywords: Short Column, Volumetric Ratio, Fly Ash, GGBS, Mode of Failure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------1. INTRODUCTION
Column is the most authoritative structural element because
it carries the entire load of the structure. The failure of the
column leads to the total collapse of the whole frame
structure as it transmits the vertical loads i.e. loads from roof
slab and beam, including self-weight to the foundation.
Now-a-days R.C.C. columns are widely used. To achieve
overall stability of structures, inelastic deformability of
reinforced concrete columns is essential and it is achieved
only through proper confinement of the concrete. At the
same time, concrete is being used for various constructional
purposes to make it suitable for different conditions. In these
conditions, ordinary concrete may fail to exhibit the required
strength and durability. For this, Admixtures are added in
concrete to improve the quality of concrete. Mineral
admixtures like fly ash, silica fume, ground granulated blast
furnace slag, metakaolin and rice husk ash which possess
certain characteristics through which they influence the
properties of concrete differently.

From the above table it was evident that the ductility factors
are increasing with increasing in lateral reinforcement steel
and Series C column which is confined with spiral
reinforcement shows ductility increment for about 54%
compared to Series A columns in which ties are equally
placed
