Under the action of earthquake, the reinforced concrete (RC) columns may subject to torsional moment, and the existence of torsion will change the failure mode of RC columns. Moreover, the torsional fracture of RC columns often presents a brittle fracture pattern, and thus may have an obvious size effect. In this work, a three-dimensional meso-scale simulation approach was utilized to study the torsional failure of RC columns. The influence of structural size, longitudinal reinforcement ratio, stirrup ratio and cross-sectional shape on torsional failure of RC columns was investigated. The results show that: (1) the tested RC columns show brittle failure patterns, the nominal torsional strength presents obvious size effect; (2) the longitudinal reinforcement presents little influence on the size effect; (3) columns with square cross-section present stronger size effect than the ones with circular shape; (4) stirrups can improve the torsional strength, while they would weaken the size effect on torsional strength. In addition, a novel size effect law that can describe the quantitative influence of stirrup ratio was established. Finally, based on the variable angle truss model, the formulas for calculating the pure torsional capacity of RC columns were modified, considering the quantitative influence of the stirrup ratio on the size effect.
