| Abstract | This paper serves three distinct purposes: it provides a
better understanding of the behavior of reinforced concrete beam columns in biaxial bending; it reviews the fundamental and simplified
methods proposed for the analysis of such beam-columns, and it develops a noniterative method for estimating the ultimate capacity of a beam-column in uniaxial bending.
The study consists of a theoretical and an experimental part. Twenty-two eccentrically loaded columns were tested; eighteen in biaxial bending and four in uniaxial bending. All columns were 6-in. x 8-in. in cross section and the length of column shaft was 48 in. Two variables were studied: the inclination of the loading
plane with respect to the major axis, and the eccentricity of the
loading. The study was confined to short, rectangular, eight-bar
columns and only those approaches were studied which are applicable to such columns.
Experimental and theoretical results are found to be in excellent agreement. The approach suggested by the writer gives good results. |
