Axial compression member designed as beam
Axial compression member designed as beam
(OP)
If axial compression load is <0.1fcAg the member can be designed as beam , Can anybody suggest where it is clearly mentioned in ACI 318.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Axial compression member designed as beam
"For nonprestressed flexural members and
nonprestressed members with factored axial compressive
load less than 0.10fc′Ag, εt at nominal strength
shall not be less than 0.004."
This effectively requires design of lightly loaded columns as beams.
