Columns under Axial Load and Biaxial Bending

Corner columns are under axial load and biaxial bending Edge columns and interior columns supporting unbalance loads are also under axial load and biaxial bending

The Reciprocal Load Method

This method is developed by Boris Bresseler of the University of California at Berkeley

Ref. Nilson, A. M., Design of Concrete Structures, 12th Edition, 1997, McGraw-Hill

The Reciprocal Load Method

For column with axial load and biaxial moment, the nominal load is given by:

The Reciprocal Load Method

Equivalent Uniaxial Method

The biaxial moment in the column is converted to a uniaxial moment equal to the sum of the two biaxial moment and the column is design accordingly

Load Contour Method

Used for analysis to see if the column is capable of carrying the loads and it depends on the moments Or less

ex = 0 ey = 0

Use alpha to be 1.5 conservatively

Equivalent Eccentricity Method

The biaxial eccentricities, ex and ey, can be replaced by an equivalent eccentricity, e0x, and the column designed for uniaxial bending and axial load The method is limited in application to columns that are symmetrical about two axes with a ratio of side lengths, x/y, between 0.5 and 2.0 with reinforcement in all four sides.

Equivalent Eccentricity Method

If
The equivalent eccentricity is given by:
If ey/y > ex/x then this equation becomes e0y ; after you put instead of every (x) a (y) and instead of every (y) an (x)

Min value of alpha is 0.6

Min value of alpha is 0.5
