To determine the capacity of a reinforced concrete column for axial force and bending about the Y-axis according to Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1), the following steps can be followed: Calculate the design axial force (NEd): This is the combination of axial loads acting on the column, such as dead loads, live loads, and any other
Column shear capacity refers to the ability of a column to resist shear forces. Shear forces act parallel to the cross-section of the column and can cause the column to fail by shearing along certain planes. The shear capacity of a column depends on several factors, including the column’s dimensions, material properties, and the support
