To　study　the　seismic　behaviors　of　full-scale　steel　reinforced　recycled　concrete　columns　under　high　axial　compression　ratio,　the　columns　with　three　types　of　recycled　coarse　aggregate　replacement　rate　under　different　axial　compression　ratios　were　designed,　and　four　specimens　were　experimented　on　the　40　000　kN　multi-function　testing　machine　under　low　cyclic　reversed　loading.　The　influences　of　different　design　variables　on　horizontal　load　bearing　capacity,　hysteretic　behavior,　skeleton　curves,　energy　dissipation,　deformation　and　stiffness　degradation　of　specimens　were　obtained　after　observing　the　mechanical　processes　and　failure　patterns.　The　results　show　that　the　ultimate　failure　pattern　of　the　four　specimens　is　the　bending-shear　failure　and　the　hysteresis　loop　of　each　column　is　relatively　plump,　indicating　that　the　columns　show　good　energy　dissipation　behavior.　The　increase　of　the　recycled　coarse　aggregate　replacement　rate　decreases　the　deformability,　but　it　has　little　influence　on　the　bearing　capacity　and　stiffness　degradation　of　the　specimens.　With　the　increase　of　axial　compression　ratio,　the　load-bearing　capacity,　stiffness　and　energy　dissipation　behavior　of　specimens　raise,　but　the　stiffness　and　bearing　capacity　degradation　intensifies　and　the　ductility　declines　acutely.　The　steel　reinforced　recycled　concrete　columns　with　high　axial　compression　ratio　can　still　maintain　good　seismic　performance,　and　this　study　provides　the　basis　for　subsequent　theoretical　research　and　practical　engineering　application.　©　2018,　Editorial　Board　of　Journal　of　Harbin　Institute　of　Technology.　All　right　reserved.
