Long Reinforced Concrete Columns

Papers selected by the Reinforced Concrete Research Council of ASCE. This collection contains 13 papers reporting the results of a series of studies, begun in 1960, on the behavior of long reinforced concrete columns in frames. This report also includes additional studies limit design aspects of column and frame stability that were proposed in 1967. Findings from these studies, resulted in important changes in the slenderness provisions for reinforced concrete colums adopted in the 1983 American Concrete Institute building code.
