Input Applied Load, P (in kN): insert value

Input Properties of Materials

Concrete Compressive Strength, fc’ (in MPa): insert value
Steel Reinforcement Yield Strength, fy (in MPa): insert value
Unit Weight of Concrete, γc (in kN/m3): insert value
Input Assumptions for Column
Height of Column, h (in m): insert value
Initial Column Dimensions
X (in m): insert value
Y (in m): insert value
Is the Column Tied or Spiral? [“T” for Tied, “S” for Spiral]: answer question
Note:
Strength Reduction Factor, Φ = 0.65 for tied, 0.75 for spiral

Design Orientation Factor, α = 0.8 for tied, 0.85 for spiral

Assumption for Steel Ratio, ρ (Input Value from 0.01 to 0.08): insert value

System computes for Pu:

Pu = P + 1.2 (γc)(XY)h

Pu = Computed Value kN

System computes for correct column dimension

𝑃𝑢 𝑥 103
X =
Φ𝛂(0.85fc′ +ρ(fy−0.85fc′ ))
X = sqrt of X2

Square Column Dimension = Computed Value of X m

If/Else function sana dito  IF X is less than 200, X=200
Input Properties of Reinforcement
Diameter of Reinforcing Bars, dB (in mm): insert value
Diameter of Ties, dT (in mm): insert value

ρ Actual = Computed value for ρ

𝑃𝑢 𝑥 103
−0.85 𝑓𝑐 ′ 𝑋 2
𝛷𝛂
ρ=
𝑋 2 (𝑓𝑦−0.85𝑓𝑐 ′ )
If/Else function sana dito ulit  IF ρ is less than 0.01, ρ = 0.01
Tapos IF ρ is greater than 0.08, ρ = 0.08

Required area of Reinforcing Bars: Computed Value for As mm2

As = ρ X2
Round up sa whole number  Yung x ditto is from rounded up value ng
nacompute after ng Pu, yung divisisible by 25

No. of Bars: Computed Value for N

𝐴𝑠
N= 𝜋 dB yung diameter of reinforcing bars 
𝑑𝐵
4

Round up na divisible by 4 (Parang yung sa 25)  like 4, 8, 12, 16….

As naman is yung nasa taas lang na formula 

Clear Spacing: Computed Value for CS mm

 𝑁
𝑋−2(40)−2(𝑑𝑇 )−( +1)(𝑑𝐵)

CS = 𝑁
+1
4

Remarks for clear spacing: [“Okay” or “Change Bar Diameter”]

=1.5 dB
=4/3(25)
=40
Okay if CS > maximum ng nasa taas
Change Bar Diameter if CS < maximum ng nasa taas

**Naka loop sana yung code ditto , kapag ‘Change Bar Diameter yung lalabs sa Remarks,
babalik ulit sa may Input Properties of Reinforcement. Magpo-proceed lang siya if nag “Okay”
na yung remarks**

Tie Spacing: Pinakamaliit na value sa tatlo: mm

=16dB
=48dT

Column Design Summary

Column Dimension: Computed Value ng X
Reinforcing Bar Diameter: Yung latest value ng dB
Tie Spacing: Pinakamaliit ng nasa taas
