About this document
Nominal Moment Capacity of Columns by Mark Gerald Oreiro is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses reinforcement in short concrete columns. It describes three types of reinforced concrete compression members and notes that the main reinforcement is typically longitudinal bars arranged in a square, circular or rectangular pattern. Lateral reinforcement in the form of ties or spirals is needed to hold the longitudinal bars in position and prevent buckling. Tied columns fail when the concrete crushes and bars buckle outward, while spirally reinforced columns can sustain higher loads
