A method for approximating the failure surfaces for columns in compression and biaxial bending was proposed by using the moments along the line of a diagonal of the section. This method showed the better approximations for the failure surfaces of columns than the method of ACI. To calculate the moments along the line of a diagonal of the section, an approximate method which is not influenced by the number of steel s and the location of inner steels was proposed This method gave satisfactory approximations for practical sections of columns.
