SCHOOL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING ABSTRACT This report describes a compression test on concrete columns. The main aim of the tests was to illustrate the ultimate strength limit state of reinforced concrete columns in combined bending and compression and to demonstrate the influence of slenderness on the ultimate load capacity. Test methods are described. It was found that the concrete columns exhibited complicated behaviour‚ and had a squash load point of 342.7KN and moment at 0 KN
