Design of concrete structures
Slender, non-reinforced compression members under biaxial eccentric loading
Compression members such as columns or walls are not only subjected to normal forces but also to bending moments resulting from rotations of adjacent structural components. If these rotations occur about two axes or if the members are subject to both uniaxial bending about the weak axis and horizontal bracing forces acting in the direction of the strong axis, the compression member experiences bending moments about two axis (biaxial bending). In construction practice, the use of unreinforced concrete compression members is often avoided because simple design methods exist only for a defined...
