Slender concrete column analysis using direct methods

Current design formulas for slender concrete columns are inaccurate when failure is due to instability. Three direct methods, the energy method, collocation and finite differences, were applied to the problem in an attempt to obtain a design method suitable for code use. Of the three methods, the co...
