2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is an eccentric column?
Think about the alignment of the load concerning the column.
List types of failure in eccentric columns.
Recall the main contexts we discussed today.
What main factor causes an eccentric column to bend?
Consider how load placement affects the structure.
True or False: The balanced condition in an eccentric column results in failure from either steel yielding or concrete crushing.
Review the concepts of failure modes in eccentric columns.
Design a reinforcement scheme for a concrete column with h = 25 in, b = 15 in, d = 3 in, f'c = 5000 psi, and an eccentric load leading to a moment of 150 k-ft. What considerations must be made?
Remember to account for both failure modes during design.
Given a scenario where an eccentric load is producing both bending moments and axial loads, summarize how you would assess the risks of failure.
Refer to the balance of forces and failure modes we learned about.
