Reinforcing concrete is one of the most common of construction material for a
building. These days a new generation of concrete known as Ultra HighPerformance

Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) has been discovered to the
world. UHPFRC is not well known in Indonesia and just recently being study in
Indonesia. It is important to know the behavior of this type of material, so in the
future construction in Indonesia can use this type of concrete. UHPFRC is well
known for its superior compressive strength and ductility. With higher compressive
strength and ductility UHPFRC is more suitable for heavy loaded structural
component such as column. The behavior of column under axial load is affected by
the concrete strength and column steel reinforcement especially transverse
reinforcement. The transverse reinforcement enhances the concrete core of column
by confined it, making it have more strength and more ductility. Compressive test
of column can also be done numerically by various finite element software. This
study will perform computational model for UHPFRC column and calibrate the
result with the experimental result performed by Sugano et al. in 2007. The
computational model will be done in OpenSees Platform. Result indicates that the
numerical model gives a good agreement with experimental data. There is still the
need of development in the model to make the result closer to accuracy.
