The steel-strapping tensioning technique (SSTT) has been widely accepted as an effective method for enhancing the performance of high-strength concrete (HSC) columns. Previous experimental tests showed that SSTT can increase the ductility of HSC by up to twice that of unconfined HSC. However, most o...
