2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is a short column?
Think about its dimensions relative to normal columns.
What happens when the load is applied eccentrically?
Recall the difference between axial and bending loads.
What is a characteristic of short columns?
Think about their design purpose.
True or False: Eccentric loads do not affect the behavior of short columns.
Consider how load placement can change results.
Calculate the maximum load a short column with dimensions 20 inch height and 12 inch width can bear if the materials have the following properties: f_c = 4000 psi and f_s = 60000 psi.
Remember to assess both the concrete and steel's bearing capacities.
Explain the design considerations for a short column under eccentric loading. Discuss reinforcement strategies to prevent both yielding and crushing failures.
Include specific measures for maintaining steel and concrete support across all stress planes.
