Abstract
The elastic-plastic behavior of pin-ended reinforced concrete slender columns subjected to bi-axially eccentric loads is investigated experimentally and theoretically. The ultimate loads, longi-tudinal and transverse deformations and the behavior up to failure of the columns are examined in detail.
A total of 36 column specimens with rectangular cross sections including square sections were tested. The ratios of column length to minimum depth ranged from 6 to 26. Loads were applied monotonically at each column end with equal eccentricities at various angles from an axis of sym-metry. The ultimate load carrying capacity of a slender column is reduced by additional eccentri-city due to lateral deflection even in a column having a length to depth ratio of 15. The numeri-cal analysis to solve the load-deformation response of the column predicts the test behavior very
well. In the case of square columns, there is not much difference in the ultimate loads of the col-umns in spite of variation of the angle of eccentricity of the applied load. However, the remark-able effects of biaxial bending on the elastic-plastic behavior occurs with the rectangular columns. When the rectangular columns are subjected to biaxially eccentric load to cause bending about the near-strong axis, the ultimate loads and the deformation behavior are significantly affected by the bending about the weak axis of the section.
1. Introduction
Columns in building are designed conventionally on the basis of a structural anal-
ysis of frames in the planes in which the principal axes of columns are constructed. However, since almost all columns are subjected to biaxial bending, the effects of bi-
axial bending on the behavior of columns should be investigated. A number of
experiments and analyses have been done to investigate the ultimate strength of short
reinforced concrete columns under biaxially eccentric loading, and many strength
formulations have been proposed for their design.
Investigations on instability problems of relatively slender concrete columns have
been extensively carried out in the area of no fear of strong earthquakes, while the
shear resistance of short columns has been more investigated in Japan. In AIJ Stand-
ard1), slender reinforced concrete columns are regulated by the following limitations
of Art. 15.7; The ratio of the minimum depth or diameter of a member to the distance between
the main supporting points shall be not less than 1/15 and 1/10 in case of using ordinary concrete and light weight concrete, respectively. These limitations, how-
ever, are not applied when the structural safety of the column is certified by struc-

tural calculation considering the effective slenderness ratio.
In recent years, as the material strengths of concrete and steel increase more and
more, the cross sections are able to be designed to compact and the members be-
come to be slender. Moreover the reinforced concrete braces with slender propor-
tions are sometimes used in a frame to resist earthquake forces. Therefore, clarifica-
tion of the elastic-plastic behavior of slender reinforced concrete columns is very im-
portant. The column behavior under biaxial loading becomes further complex due to the
slenderness effects. There is very little available experimental information of the sta-
bility of slender columns. In this paper, fundamental data from biaxially eccentric
loading tests of slender columns with square and rectagular cross sections2).3) are re-
ported. The objective of this study is to investigate the slenderness effects under biaxial bending on the ultimate strength and the deformation behavior up to the fail-
ure of reinforced concrete columns.

A total of 36 column specimens were tested. Their column length to minimum
section depth rations, 1/D or i/b, ranged from 6 to 26. The geometry of test speci-mens is shown in Fig. 1. The columns had a 12 cm (b) x 12 cm (D) square cross sec-
tion or a 12 cm (b) X 18 cm (D) rectangular cross section with 8-D10 longitudinal bars
(gross reinforcement ratios of 0.0396 and 0.0264, respectively) and 4.5 mm hoops spac-ed 6 cm apart. The mix proportion of concrete and the properties of materials are
listed in Table L The concrete was cast in the horizontal position using a machin-
ed metal-form. The compressive strength of the concrete was 270-340 kgf/cm2 (26-
33 N/mm2) and the tensile yield strength of main reinforcement was 3,500-3,700 kgf/
cm2 (340-360 N/mm2). Age of specimens at test was 40-210 days.
Photo 1 and Fig. 2(a) show a specimen placed in the loading apparatus. Both
ends of the column were supported by universal bearings to simulate pin-ended con-
ditions. The bearings were greased to minimize friction. Load was applied mono-
tonically at each column end with equal eccentricities, e, at various angles, 0, from an axis of symmetry, as given in Fig. 1. Transverse deflections, u and v in the prin-

cal arrangements of the instrumentation devices are shown in Fig. 3. Load was meas-
ured by load cells installed at the ends of the columns. The strains on concrete sur-
face and in reinforcing bars were measured by potentio-meters and strain gages at

3. Method of Theoretical Analysis
The load-deformation response of the column was solved by the numerical meth-
od of a second-order analysis') taking into account the effects of deflections and
changes in stiffness of the columns on moments and forces. The following basic as-
sumptions have been made:
(1) lateral deflections of the column are small compared to its length and the cur-
vatures are represented by the second derivatives of the deflections;

(2) plane sections remain plane after deformation;
(3) effects of shear on lateral deflection and rotation of the cross section due to torsional deformation are negligible;
(4) the assumed stress-strain relationships for the concrete and the reinforcing bars are shown in Fig. 4(a) and 4(b), respectively. Strain reversal is not considered.
The concrete is unable to sustain any tensile stress.
The effect of the strain reversal on the analytical results is discussed later.
A symmetrically reinforced rectangular cross section is considered and an x-y
axis system is taken with the origin at the centroid of the section (Fig. 1). A force
P is assumed to act at the point which is defined in the x-y axis by the eccentrici-
ties e, and ey, as shown in Fig. 5. If the assumptions of perfect bonding and plane
distribution of strains are made, the strain, E, in the section can be defined by the
three quantities E0, 0, and Ov.

in which 50=strain at the centroid and tbr, Ov=curvatures produced by bending mo-ment components, Mr and My, about the x and y axes, and are positive when they
cause compression in the positive y and x directions, respectively. Knowing the strain distribution, the axial force, N, and the bending moments, Mx and My, are
calculated from the assumed stress-strain relationships. In the present study, the con-
crete and the reinforcing bars are partitioned into many small elemental areas. The
total force and the moments in the section are then evaluated by summation of the

elemental forces acting on the elemental areas and the moments of the elemental forces, respectively.
A pin ended reinforced concrete column shown in Fig. 5 is considered for the case of monotonic loads P applied with biaxial eccentricities at each end. The later-al deflections, u and v, of the column are assumed to be small, so that the curvatures
0x. and 0„ can be expressed in the form of second derivatives of deflections
d'v °I.-- de (2a)
d'u de (2b —)
For the given load P=N, the deflections u and v also have to satisfy conditions of external equilibrium, namely
Mx(0„,95y)-=-P(v+ey) (3a)
My (0,z, Chy) = P(u +ez) (3b)
The equilibrium shape can be determined by the solution of simultaneous equations for the various unknowns P, u, v, Mx, My, 0, and 0,, using equations (2) and (3). Using the first derivatives of deflections about the x and y axes, 0, and By, the cur-vatures are given by
dOx (4a) dz
Oy =dOy (4b) dz
Therefore the second-order simultaneous differential equations (2) and (3) can be re-
placed by the first-order simultaneous equations expressed as
du =Oy (5a) dz
dv —0 dz, (5b)
( dO, d0y dz 'dz) =P(v+ey) (5c) )
My dOx 'ddOz) =P(u+e x) (5d) dz
The column length 1 is divided into several segments of the same length. For
equations (5), application of the Runge-Kutta-Gill numerical integration method and
the Newton-Raphson iteration technique yields the deflections u and v corresponding
to the load, P. In this numerical analysis, the column length was divided into 10
segments, and the square and the rectangular cross sections were divided into 10 x
10 and 10 x 15 elements, respectively. As the condition of convergence of calculation,
deviation of deflection at the end of a column was limited to less than 1/10,000 of
the column length. Convergence for the given load level was achieved within two or

4. Test Results Compared with Analytical Results
The test results are summarized in Table 2.
Figure 6 shows the experimental strain distributions across the section for sever-
al load levels for square short columns C 000, C 020 and C 210. The concrete strains
and the reinforcing bar strains may be seen to conform closely to the plane strain
distribution. It is only near maximum load level that there occurs some deviation
from the plane strain distribution. The strain in concrete just before crushing was
0.004-0.005 for the columns subjected to biaxially eccentric loads. Final collapse was

accompanied by spalling of concrete in the compression zone. This immediately re-
sulted in the buckling of longitudinal reinforcement between ties at the compression
corner. All columns except one case, specimen C 220, deflected symmetrically with
respect to the column mid-height and failed at the mid-height section. In Fig. 7,
the test results of load-strain relationships obtained from the longitudinal strain data
at the selected positions (A, B, C and D) of the mid-height section are compared
with the analytical results. The broken lines and the solid lines denote the test data and the analytical data, respectively. By this analytical method, the test behavior of
load and strain of the short columns is seen to be well predicted.
Figures 8 and 9 show the load-deflection curves and the load-strain curves, re-
spectively, for the square long columns of l/D = 25.7. The solid lines and the broken
lines in Fig. 8 indicate deflections at mid-height, u and v, respectively. The thin
lines correspond to the test results and the thick line to the analytical results. In the
test, crushing of concrete occured at the descending branch after the peak load.

The load decreased suddenly just after the crushing of concrete and the column was
failed. The numerical analysis adopted herein need not take the strain reversal into
consideration. The reason for this can be seen in the following. The experimental
strains at the compression and tension zone increase monotonically with increasing load in each zone and strain reversal occurs in only a range of small strain near the
neutral axis of the section, as shown in Figs. 7 and 9. Therefore it is regarded that
the ultimate strength and the deformation behavior of the columns are scarcely affect-
ed by the strain reversal.
Figure 10 shows the change of mid-height deflections with increasing load. In
the case of square columns under biaxial loading at the angle of 0 =22.5° (Fig. 10
(a)), the direction of deflection corresponds closely to the plane including the load-

ing points and the centroids of the end section, before reaching the maximum load.
However, after the attainment of the maximum load, the column has a tendency to
deflect away from that plane. In the case of rectangular columns (Fig. 10(b)), the
lateral deflections significantly depend on bending about the weak axis of the section.
The numerical analysis to solve the load-deformation response of the column is seen
to predict the test behavior very well. The torsional deformation a in biaxially ec-
centric loads was very small, as shown in Table 2, and the effect is negligible. The
maximum torsional angle was measured to be only 0.6°. From these test results, it is
confirmed that the assumption of no torsional deformation is useful to the analysis.

which, knowing the uniaxial strengths, the biaxial bending strengths may be calcu-lated.
An expression derived by Bresler5 for the strength of a Biaxially loaded column
is
1 1 1 1 P.— P .. PyA (6)
where Pu=ultimate load under biaxial bending, Pz=ultimate load under uniaxial
bending when only eccentricity e, is present, Py =ultimate load under uniaxial bend-
ing when only eccentricity ey is present, and Po=ultimate load when there is no ec-
centricity. Values of F3, and PP are obtained from the interaction functions that rep-
resent the section capacity under uniaxial loading conditions.
Ramamurthy6) proposed two equations to define approximately the shape of Ms-
My interaction curves in square and rectangular columns with eight or more bars,
equally distributed among the faces. The locus of the ultimate radial moment Mu at
any load level in square columns is approximately defined by
= Muyo — 0.1 (0 /45°) 1 (7)
where M.,0 =ultimate uniaxial moment about y axis corresponding to load P under
consideration and (deg.) =tan-1(evie3,) =inclination of the line joining the load
point to the centroid of the section to x axis. Equation (7) yields Mu=0.9 Muyo for B=45°. Mu for any value of 0 is calculated by linear interpolation between bending
about a major principal axis and bending about a diagonal.
Using the rectangular stress block with a constant ultimate stress Cr and a fail-
ure limit strain Eu to represent concrete in the analysis of cross section strength",
interaction curves under uniaxial loading conditions were calculated in four cases;
(1) 6c=0.85 (Fc=compressive strength of cylinder) and Eu=0.3%, (2) ac—F, and Eu=0.3%, (3) 6,=--F, and fu=0.4%, and (4) 6e=1', and eu=0.5%.
The majority of calculated values obtained from Bresler's method were less than
those obtained from Ramamurthy's method. All calculated values for the cases where
was assumed give good predictions of maximum load observed by test com-
pared with the cases where 6,=0.85 Fe. However, the value of extreme fiber strain, Fu, has slight influence on the prediction of load. The maximum load obtained by
the authors' numerical analysis corresponds to the case of ce—F, and Eu=0.5%.
6. Load-Moment Behavior of Square Long Columns
The behavior of the column under increasing load is illustrated by the axial load
versus bending moment diagram for the critical section of the column given in Fig.
12. The lateral coordinate gives the magnitude of the biaxial bending moment, M.
The points for the combination of axial load and nominal end moment at the maxi-
mum strength obtained experimentally are designated by small circles for each col-
umn. The three curves denoted by "1/D=15.7" or "1/D-25.7" represent the corre-

sponding analytical data. When the column is short, the additional eccentricity due
to lateral deflection at the critical section is negligible and the maximum moment can
be estimated by the end moment at all stages. When the N-M path with increasing
load has reached the interaction line denoted by "1/D=0" (where o-c=Fe and Eu=
2 Er), a material failure of the section occurs. If the column is long, the additional
eccentricity at the critical section increases more rapidly at high load levels, and the
N-M path is curved. The maximum load of the column eventually is reduced by the
amplified bending moment caused by additional eccentricity.
There are two types of long column behavior for the case of //D=15.7. When
the eccentricity at the column ends is relatively large, a material failure of the sec-
tion occurs causing the N-M path to reach the interaction line. However, when the
load is applied with small eccentricity, the column becomes unstable before reaching
the interaction line and even at the critical section the column does not demonstrate
its material strength capacity. This is called an instability failure. For all columns
of 1/D=25.7, the instability failure occurred, except in the one case of e/D=0.5 in
which material failure occurred. In the test results, the N-M path reversed to inside
of the interaction line after reaching the interaction line. This is because the re-

duction of load carrying capacity of the critical section occurs by the spalling of con-
crete and the buckling of main reinforcements.
Figure 13 is the family of square column interaction curves giving the combina-
tion of the axial load and the end moment which cause failure of the column. Solid
lines are obtained analytically, indicating the reduction in ultimate load due to slen-
derness for various loading cases. All the test data are plotted by the small circles.
Analytical results of the maximum loads P..x and the deformation at P=Prn,,,, for long
columns are summarized in Table 4. In the case of square long columns, it is re-
markable that there is not much difference of the ultimate loads of the columns in
spite of variation of the angle of eccentricity of the applied load. The analytical re-
sults agree quite well with the test results.

7. Ultimate Loads of Rectangular Columns
Figure 14 shows how the maximum load P„,,,„ varies with changing the angle 8
of eccentricity for rectangular columns subjected to uniaxially or biaxially eccentric
loads. Analytical results are listed in Table 5. Because of the difference of load car-
rying capacity and bending stiffness about each of two principal axes, i.e. the strong
axis and the weak axis, the maximum load of column decreases with increasing 0.
For all short rectangular columns of 1=120 cm (1/b=10), the material failure occured
at the critical section. When the load is applied so as to cause bending about the strong
axis, the effect of the additional bending moment caused by deflection on the ultimate

Stability of Slender Reinforced Concrete Columns Subjected to Biaxially Eccentric Loads 155
load is negligible. However, when the load is applied to cause bending about the
near-weak axis, there is some amount of reduction of ultimate load due to the addi-
tional moment. For the long columns of 1=-300 cm (l/b =25), the ultimate load was
affected largely by increasing deflection with increasing load and the instability fail-
ure occurred. When the columns are subjected to a biaxially eccentric load causing
bending about the near-weak axis, that is, the load is applied when angle 0 ranges
from about 45° to 90°, the maximum load and the deformation of the columns closely
resemble the behavior under uniaxially eccentric loading conditions about the weak
axis. Therefore, those columns can be approximated by the columns under only uni-
axial bending about the weak axis. However, when the columns are subjected to
biaxially eccentric load to cause bending about the near-strong axis, with 0 ranging
from 0° to 45°, the ultimate strengths seriously depend on the angle of eccentricity of
the applied load, as shown in Fig. 14, and consequently the column must be analyzed
exactly by taking into account the biaxial loading effect.
8. Conclusions
The following conclusions can be drawn for the ultimate load and the deforma-
tion behavior of slender reinforced concrete columns subjected to a biaxially eccen-
tric load.
(1) On the basis of the test results, it is recognized that the concrete and the re-inforcing bar strains conform closely to the plane strain distribution even in the case
of biaxial bending.
(2) The numerical analysis adopted herein to solve the load-deformation response of the column very well predicts the test behavior.
(3) The ultimate load carrying capacity of a slender column is reduced by the ad-ditional eccentricity due to lateral deflections, even in a column having a length to
depth ratio of 15.
(4) In the case of square long columns, there is not much difference on ultimate loads of the columns in spite of variation of the angle of eccentricity of the applied
load.
(5) In the case of rectangular long columns, when the columns are subjected to biaxially eccentric load to cause bending about the near-strong axis, the ultimate loads
and the deformation behavior seriously depend on the angle of eccentricity of the ap-
plied load. Consequently those columns must be analyzed exactly by taking into ac-count the biaxial loading effect. However, the columns subjected to biaxial bending
about the near-weak axis can be approximated by that under only uniaxial bending
about the weak axis.
