<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p>The paper presents test results on 20 high-strength fiber reinforced concrete square
    columns subjected to concentric and eccentric loading. The study aim was to examine
    the effect of the weight of steel fibers on the strength and behavior of HSC columns
    under concentric and eccentric loading. All columns were longitudinally reinforced
    with 4 GFRP bars 6 mm diameter, and two steel bars 10 mm diameter, making the
    reinforcement ratio (ρg = 0.0181), and steel ties at 64 mm spacing. The studied test
    variables included the steel fiber weight ratio and the eccentricity. To prevent
    premature spalling in the concrete cover, it was discovered that it helps to add steel
    fibers to HSC mixtures in concrete columns. In addition, this also increases the
    strength of eccentrically loaded reinforced columns compared to that for concentrically
    loaded columns. The strength and behavior were predicted also by the proposed
    method. The predicted and the experimental results found to be in a good agreement.</p>
