The self-compacting concrete is described as one of the environment friendly concrete which has severalbenefits over ordinary concrete. The main advantages of self-compacting concrete are that problem associated withvibration is eliminated. It is a non-segregating concrete that have benefits such as high bond to reinforcing steel,superior strength and durability, improved structural integrity etc. The Glass Fiber reinforced Polymer (GFRP)rebars are preferable alternative to steel rebars for minimizing corrosion problems In this paper, analytical study iscarried out to investigate the seismic performance of self-compacting concrete circular columns reinforced withGFRP rebars and are compared with columns reinforced with steel rebars. The main parameters considered for thestudy are slenderness ratio and confinement techniques. The circular column of slenderness ratio 4, 6, and 8 areconsidered for the study. The seismic performance is carried out by Push over analysis using ANSYS software.
