Simplificación en los cálculos de esbetez límite en E.L.U. De inestabilidad: Diagramas de interacción según la instrucción EHE-08

Abstract

Recent EHE-08 code has introduced many changes, both conceptual and parametric, in different aspects of its requirements. This paper seeks to offer support to the concrete designer, enabling pre-test calculations of the instability limit state. Beginning with an introduction to the meaning of the lower limit of slenderness (including ACI-318, EC-2 and MC-90 proposals), to immediately provide an application tool that allows obtaining direct in the case of the current Instruction of Structural Concrete. Moreover, it is also exposed the formulation to test reinforced column sections.
