Abstract

This paper aims at providing a brief experimental study and the behavior of the bi-axially loaded reinforced concrete slender column with different percentages of longitudinal reinforcement ratio with biaxial loading and studies were carried out on the mechanical properties of concrete and to investigate the parameters for the reinforced concrete slender column. By the witnessing, the displacement happens at the centre of the column and to spotting out the location of the cracks and type of the crack occurred over the surface of the column. Totally four columns were tested with dimensions 2200x150x150 mm for testing of the bi-axially loaded column with eccentricities like 150mm and 300mm. All columns were tested under constant axially and bi-axially loaded conditions. In this paper, experimental results are presented and global behavior of tested columns is discussed, particularly focused on the deflection, stiffness and ultimate loads because of the increasing the eccentricity.
