Progress of design and construction technology of high-rise structures and essential need forhigh-strength materials to provide required seismic demand makes the role of high strengthconcrete (HSC) undeniable. Current study deals with the use of HSC in strength and ductilityestimation of reinforced concrete (RC) columns made with. In order to evaluate the seismicbehavior of the columns, cantilever models are subjected to monotonic and cyclic lateraldisplacements. Since the energy dissipation capacity and maximum drift ratio in a seismicresistantstructural member is more important, therefore use of columns with a ductileresponse is appropriate.
