Carrying Capacity at Eccentric Compression Load

Load-Carrying Capacity at Eccentric Compression Load 

Experimental research on the eccentrically compressed elements capacity was carried out on samples measuring 100 x 100 x 500 mm, reinforced by longitudinal rods of 08 mm and stirrups of 05 mm. 

As a result of regression analysis of the experimental data, a mathematical model was obtained  

The analysis of Formula (2.25) shows that the increase in initial eccentricity of loading drastically reduces the loading capacity of an eccentrically compressed element of RubCon on the equation of power function. It is possible to note the weak dependence of the loading capacity on the reinforcing percent.
