    Slender Columns

    This document discusses slender columns in concrete construction. It defines a slender column as one where lateral deflections significantly reduce its axial load capacity by more than 5%. Slender columns experience increased moments and deflections from second-order P-Δ and P-δ effects. Most building columns are not slender, but exceptions can occur in industrial buildings or those with a tall first floor story.

    Slender Columns

    Columns

    Cast-in-place concrete columns


    typically carry both axial loads
    and moments.

    Interior columns have moment


    due to the difference in the
    moments on the adjacent spans

    Exterior columns have larger


    moments because they only have
    a slab or beam framing into one
    side.

    Slender

    A slender column is defined as a column that has a


    significant reduction in its axial-load capacity due to
    moments resulting from lateral deflections of the
    column.

    In the derivation of the ACI Code, a significant


    reduction was arbitrarily taken as anything greater
    than about 5%

    Basis of Slender

    Lateral deflections of a slender column cause an increase in the column


    moments,

    These increased moments cause an increase in the deflections, which n turn


    lead to an increase in the moments.

    If the axial load is below the critical load, the process will converge to a
    stable position. This is referred to as a second-order process

    Two different types of second-order moments act on the columns in a


    frame:

    P- moments. These result from deflections, of the axis of the bent column
    away from the chord joining the ends of the column

    P- moments. These result from lateral deflections, of the beamcolumn joints


    from their original undeflected locations

    Most building columns fall in the short-column category. Exceptions


    occur:

    in industrial buildings and in buildings that have a high first-floor story for
    architectural or functional reasons.

    Some bridge piers and the decks of cable stayed bridges

    Differences in moments

    Pin-ended columns are rare in cast-in-place concrete construction, but


    do occur in precast construction.

    the columns supporting the back of a precast grandstand.

    Braced and Unbraced

    Most concrete building structures are braced (nonsway) frames

    the bracing provided by considerably stiffer elements than the


    columns themselves:

    shear walls,

    stairwells, or

    elevator shafts

    Unbraced frames are encountered:

    near the tops of tall buildings, where elevator core may be discontinued

    in industrial buildings where an open bay exists.
