Design of Reinforced Concrete Columns - Colin Caprani
colincaprani.comCivil Engineering Design (1) 6 Dr. C. Caprani From the figure: • For lh≤15 the crushing capacity is much lower than the buckling capacity and so the column crushes. • For lh>32 the buckling capacity is less than the crushing capacity and so the column buckles. • For lh values in between, the failure mode is not clear and depends on ...
