Abstract
In this experimental research, investigation of the behaviour of epoxy resin concrete in filled square steel column subjected to monotonic loading is studied in detail.
Taguchi’s method is adopted to select typical 27 combinations for 3 different rates of concrete. 2%, 4% epoxy resin used as infill with M20, M25, & M30 is studied .3 different lengths of specimens that is 300mm, 320mm, & 340mm with the same thickness 1.5mm are selected. In order to know the effect of stub columns (i.e., L/B ratio 3) under monotonic loading, 27 experiments have been conducted.
Following are the conclusions :
As length increased, load carrying capacity decreased.
As grade of concrete increased, load carrying capacity increased for a particular length of the column by 5 to 8%.
Stub columns are better in resisting compressive loads.
