Behaviour of Rectangular Reinforced Concrete Columns with Disproportionate Cross-Section Dimensions Subjected to Compression and Biaxial Bending - Case Study

Abstract

The purpose of the current paper is to raise awareness on the behaviour of rectangular reinforced concrete columns with disproportionate cross-section dimensions subjected to compression and biaxial bending, considering the fact that in the current structural design process, the design of columns is usually done with respect to each of the two principal directions without considering their combined effect.
