Sloped Columns
Sloped Columns
(OP)
As a rule we limit sloping concrete columns to 1:6, Is this based on the aci offset bar slope of 1:6? Is this a code requirement? What are the issues with sloping more than this?

The building will want to lean/deflect so servicability would have to be checked as well. I don't know of any ACI code issue in the U.S. that would prohibit sloping your columns more than 1:6.
