Strunet: Introduction To Concrete Column Design Flow Charts
Strunet: Introduction To Concrete Column Design Flow Charts
The Column Design Section in Strunet contains two main parts: Charts to
develop strength interaction diagrams for any given section, and ready -made
Column Interaction Diagrams, for quick design of a given column.
Concrete column is one of the most interes ting members in concrete structural
design application. A structural design of a concrete column is quite complicated
procedures. Evaluation, however, of a given column section and reinforcement is
straightforward process. This is due to the fact that pure axial compression is
rarely the case in column analysis. Some value of moment is always there due to
end restraint, or accidental eccentricity due to out of alignment. ACI established
the minimum eccentricity on a concrete column, regardless of the struct ural
analysis proposed for the column, which is defined as the maximum axial
compression load that a column can be designed for.
