RECTANGULAR COLUMNS WITH UNEVEN BARS

Developed by Ryan Darwin, March 2012

Dimensions: Reinforcing bars on each face:

Width, bx = 1000 mm x - direction: Number Size (mm) Tension side by Compression side
Breadth, by = 1000 mm Tension side = 10 36
Concrete cover = 75 mm Compression side = 5 36
y - direction = 3 28 bx
Materials: y
Concrete, fc' = 28 MPa Steel ratio rg = 1.896% x
Steel rebar, fy = 414 MPa Tie diameter = 16 mm

Number of Load Cases (maximum = 5) = 2
