I am currently dealing with a project where a concrete wall section is quite small in regards to its length. I was wondering if CSA A23.3-14 has length requirements that classifies whether a "small" wall section should be analyzed as a column.

I seem to recall that if the length is 1/3 the height, it is a wall... but not sure... and I don't have my code handy...

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?

Over here its a wall, not a column, if its length exceeds 4 times its width.

could be 4x... don't use conc code often...
