Popis: The current ACl Building Code contains rules that limit the amount of longitudinal reinforcement for reinforced concrete columns. Neither the lower bound nor the upper bound values are associated with a rational derivation. The rational upper limit can be calculated based on steel congestion in the column; it also can be determined based on resistance to crocking of concrete. The lower bound can be derived as the replacement of the effective tension area of concrete to control cracking; it can also be derived based on shrinkage and creep of concrete to control steel stress under service loads
