Pre-Bent Columns

We are working on a structure that will have pre-bent concrete columns.
Any suggestions on good reference material about the behavior and design of pre-bent concrete columns? Thanks.

As for design of these elements, won't consideration of the P-delta effect be sufficient to calculate the secondary moments?
RE: Pre-Bent Columns
sure, but won't the P-delta effect be contingent on the curvature?
