| Abstract | Ten long eccentrically loaded reinforced concrete columns were investigated. The tests consisted of two series of 82-in. long columns of cross section 3x10 in. and 2x10 in respectively. They were loaded
with different eccentricities to cause bending about the major axis. Two kinds of aggregate, limestone and sandstone were used for making the specimens* A wooden specimen,½ x6 x72 in. high was used in a preliminary
test to develop the experimental techniques. The theoretical buckling load and the ultimate load in bending compression were related by the Rankine load which gives a lower bound for
the columns tested in this paper.
For the purpose of studying lateral stability, the columns were rather more slender than those used in practical design. Every column, except one, failed by simple buckling about the minor axis. The test results were compared with B. S. and ACI codes of practice for long
concrete columns. |
