Six of these papers focus on ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) while five papers focus on high-strength concrete (HSC) or high-strength reinforcing (HSR) steel materials. Yang and Okumus ([11]) describe a parametric numerical investigation on the seismic behavior of UHPC rectangular hollow bridge columns with HSR steel for confinement. In this paper, the results from seven column test specimens demonstrate that the ductility capacity of UHPC-jacketed columns can be increased through textile reinforcing. [Extracted from the article]
