The Action of Short Columns at Reinforced Concrete Building Constructions

Abstract

This article presents the behavior of short columns in reinforced buildings to seismic forces, and these are classified into certain types of short columns, which can appear in building constructions such as short columns at constructions placed on sloping ground, short columns in buildings with intermediate floor, mezzanine (technical floor), short columns at walls which don’t form continuity on height until to the next floor.
