Abstract

The beam-column subjected to the combination of the axial force and the bending moments is an example of the very complicated task from the viewpoint of the design resistance verification. The general theoretical solution of the resistance assessment of that beam-column is not suitable for practical use due to complicated and non-general form. Then, the standard simplified approach is used. Therefore, the paper deals with the experimental and numerical analyses of the resistances of eccentrically loaded beam-columns and their comparison with the standard approaches. Discussion of results and conclusions related to further research direction are also presented in this paper.

Highlights

  • The verification of the beam-column resistance subjected to the axial force in combination with the bending moments is a very complex task from the viewpoint of design practice

  • The standard approach [1] to beam-column resistance assessment is based on the simplified model of substitute member whose accuracy and suitability is controversial in the special cases of member load effects and member boundary conditions

  • The determination of the beam-column resistance and its verification need necessarily to be more precise and complex, supported by the numerical calculations or experimental analyses. From this point of view, the paper presents results of experimental and numerical analyses of the determination of the beam-column resistance and its verification compared to the standard approaches [1]
