The aim of this study is to compare the load contour diagrams generated for rectangular RC cross-sections under combined axial compression and biaxial bending obtained by the two forms of analysis ...

A design procedure is presented to estimate the load carrying capacity of beam-column channel sections. A reduced cross-section is used to compensate for the reduction in the post-buckling stiffness.
