The paper presents a comparison of available shear strength models of RC columns by considering the effect of axial force. Although various shear strength models are proposed by many researchers, some of them neglect the effect of axial force. Thus, to clarify the effect of axial force on shear strength, the comparative study is conducted with a total of 54 experimental data of RC column collected from the PEER center. The shear strength of RC column is also evaluated with design code.
