Abstract: <bold>Load‐bearing capacity of unreinforced concrete compression members under biaxially eccentric loading</bold> Compression members, such as columns or walls, have to carry vertical loads primarily. Due to the rotation of the adjacent components, they are also subjected to bending moments. If the compression member is, in addition to the bending moment about the weak axis, also loaded by horizontal bracing forces in direction of the strong axis, bending moments about both axes (biaxial bending) occur. This paper deals with the load‐bearing capacity of slender, unreinforced and biaxially eccentrically loaded compression members made of concrete. Existing theoretical methods for determining the load‐bearing capacity of centrically and uniaxially eccentrically loaded compression members are shown as well as the corresponding normative regulations. On this basis, two practice‐oriented proposals for determining the load‐bearing capacity of biaxially eccentrically loaded unreinforced concrete compression members are presented. The proposals can easily be adopted into the standard and thus, the existing restricting limits of application can be neglected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
