Design of slender concrete column using chinese design code GB50010-2010 by Chen, Qiaofen

“…Data analyses reveal that loading capacity of slender column decreases with the increase of e/h, and the reduction of strength tends to be lesser for higher e/h; slender column tends to have less loading capacity with the increase of L/h, and the reduction of strength is lesser for high L/h; slender concrete column can be strengthened by installing more reinforcements, i.e. higher percentage of reinforcement; last but not least, use of higher strength concrete and steel result in a stronger slender concrete column. …”
