Nonlinear Behavior of Short Structures and Column Displacement Effect

Nowadays, according to increasing development of construction industry in the world especially in the building area, the need to use technology and innovation for fabrication and maintenance of this industry has increased. And this fact becomes apparent that the use of traditional systems of construction isn't tailored the countries' requirements anymore. One of the construction industry's limitations is the restrictions on architectural designs caused by some columns on some storeys. The columns are among the most important components of structure and have a major role in bearing all gravity and lateral loads and transferring them to the foundation. The failure or destruction of the components in the structure under applied loads is not acceptable because of the destruction of the entire building.
