As part of this piece of research, the buckling behavior of columns made of expansive cement concrete and reinforced with PVA fibers was investigated. The variables in this investigation included the percentage of expansive cement, the percentage of PVA fibers, and the grade of the concrete. The load–strain plots that were produced as a result of this investigation demonstrated a significantly enhanced load carrying capability and a significantly delayed fracture development in comparison to other conventional columns. During the course of this work, observations were made regarding the failure modes of the expanding cement concrete columns that contained PVA fibers. The results of the tests demonstrated that M50 grade concrete columns made with 10% expansive cement and 1.5% PVA fibers had a load carrying capacity that was 1.5 times greater than that of conventional concrete of the same grade, and that M40 grade concrete columns made with 10% expansive cement and 2% PVA fibers had a load carrying capacity that was 1.48 times greater than that of conventional concrete of the same grade. Both of these types of concrete columns exhibited improved crack resisting behavior.
