Columns under Axial Load and Biaxial Bending
Corner columns are under axial load and biaxial bending Edge columns and interior columns supporting unbalance loads are also under axial load and biaxial bending

The Reciprocal Load Method
This method is developed by Boris Bresseler of the University of California at Berkeley
Ref. Nilson, A. M., Design of Concrete Structures, 12th Edition, 1997, McGraw-Hill
The Reciprocal Load Method
For column with axial load and biaxial moment, the nominal load is given by:
Ref. McCormac, J. C. and Nelson Jr., J. K., Design of Reinforced Concrete, 6th Edition, 2005, John Wiley and Sons
The Reciprocal Load Method
Alternatively,

Ref. McCormac, J. C. and Nelson Jr., J. K., Design of Reinforced Concrete, 6th Edition, 2005, John Wiley and Sons
less then Px,Py, P0 which means that the column is weakened a lot by being biaxialy loaded
Ref. McCormac, J. C. and Nelson Jr., J. K., Design of Reinforced Concrete, 6th Edition, 2005, John Wiley and Sons
Equivalent Uniaxial Method
The biaxial moment in the column is converted to a uniaxial moment equal to the sum of the two biaxial moment and the column is design accordingly

Load Contour Method
Used for analysis to see if the column is capable of carrying the loads and it depends on the moments Or less
ex = 0 ey = 0
Use alpha to be 1.5 conservatively

Equivalent Eccentricity Method
The biaxial eccentricities, ex and ey, can be replaced by an equivalent eccentricity, e0x, and the column designed for uniaxial bending and axial load The method is limited in application to columns that are symmetrical about two axes with a ratio of side lengths, x/y, between 0.5 and 2.0 with reinforcement in all four sides.

Equivalent Eccentricity Method
If
The equivalent eccentricity is given by:
If ey/y > ex/x then this equation becomes e0y ; after you put instead of every (x) a (y) and instead of every (y) an (x)
Min value of alpha is 0.6
Min value of alpha is 0.5
