Abstract:
Measurements of the out-of-plumbness of reinforced concrete columns are reviewed and reported Based on Beaulieu’s analysis of the forces induced by out-of-plumb columns, a design out-of-plumb angle is proposed along with a method of incorporating this ef fect into structural analysis. A brief example is given,
