Abstract
This study aims to perform laboratory model tests to investigate the load-deformation behavior of stone columns (SCs), pervious concrete columns (PCCs), and composite columns (CCs). Here, CC refers to the column which has the upper portion made of PCC and the lower portion made of SC. The parameters investigated in this study include column diameters, column lengths, and installation methods (pre-cast and cast-in-situ methods). The results of the model tests reveal that the axial load-carrying capacity of PCC is nearly 8 times more than that of SC with the same diameter. Moreover, it is also observed that at the top portion of SC, with the PCC length which is about 3.75 to 5 times the column diameter, the load-carrying capacity can significantly increase. It is concluded that the installation methods have marginal influence on the load-deformation behavior of PCC.
