Axial Compression Ratio Limit of L-Shaped Reinforced Concrete Columns with Different Limb Lengths

Article Preview

Abstract:

Axial compression ratios of L-shaped columns with different directions of neutral axis were calculated by numerical method. It can be found that the axial compression ratio reaches the minimum value when neutral axis is parallel to the section edge and the shorter limb is compressed, the section scale has little influence on the axial compression ratio of L-shaped columns. On the base of analysis, axial compression ratios of L-shaped columns with different limb lengths are given out.
