Abstract
Firstly evaluating equation of ultimate deformation for reinforced concrete columns with side walls is proposed in the case that the side wall is subjected to compressive axial force. The feasibility of the proposed equation is examined using thirty nine columns with side walls and four beams with spandrel walls. Secondly evaluating method of member ranks, which represents the level of deformation capacity of the member, is proposed. Whereas evaluated member ranks using previous methods shows too conservative deformation capacity comparing to experimental data, the proposed method is found to be an effective method for practical design procedures.
