Evaluation of reinforced concrete columns resistance with eccentric loading under non-uniform heating regimes

Key Points

• Reinforced concrete columns exhibit varying resistance to eccentric loading depending on heating conditions, with significant implications for structural safety.
• The analysis showed a measurable impact on material resistance, with some columns losing up to 30% of their strength when exposed to non-uniform heating.
• Observational analysis focused on structural integrity and performance under eccentric loading in varying thermal environments.
• Understanding these factors can enhance safety protocols in construction, especially in fire-prone areas.
