Abstract: In order to study the effect of different hollow ratios on the axial compression performance of high performance polypropylene fiber reinforced lightweight aggregate concrete square hollow columns, 7 groups (14) of axial compression column tests were carried out and four reinforced concrete columns were performed numerical simulations by using finite element numerical simulation software ABAQUS. The results showed that as the hollow rate increased, the number of cracks on the concrete surface of the specimen increased, and the peak load decreased; most of the unreinforced hollow columns were two vertical main cracks penetrating from top to bottom concentrated near the square holes. The concrete da-mage was serious and the elastic stiffness was significantly reduced; however, most of the reinforced hollow columns had a diagonal main crack with small crack width, and the concrete had good integrity; the ductility of hollow columns increased first and then decreased and when the hollow rate was 9%, the ductility coefficient of the hollow column obtained the maximum value. Generally speaking, the ductility of hollow columns was better than that of solid columns. The finite element simulation results showed that the concrete began to fail and the longitudinal bars yielded in the elastoplastic stage, and the concrete was seriously damaged in the descending section.
