Biaxially Loaded L‐shaped Reinforced Concrete Columns
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 111, Issue 12
Abstract
Results of an experimental and analytical investigation on the strength and deformation of biaxially loaded short and tied columns with L‐shaped cross section are presented. The study explores the behavior of reinforced concrete columns under loads monotonically up to failure. A few tests loaded cyclically are also compared with those loaded monotonically. The strength interaction curves and load contours of L‐shaped columns based on analysis and some test results are shown in this paper to provide advice for design information. Two design examples are given to provide possible design procedures.
