<p>This paper investigates the load capacity and failure modes of slender hollow RC column under axial and eccentric loads. For the slender hollow columns, different load eccentricities and hole shapes are used. The finite element software ABAQUS is used to model and analyze the columns. The experimental test result is used to conduct a verification investigation of the nonlinear finite element modeling. All specifications of the experimentally tested columns are taken into consideration in the modeling to establish the verification of the model.
