STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE

 Step 1 : Check for Torsional Reinforcement Requirement

Acp = ( 40 ) ( 18 ) = 720 in2

Pcp = 2 ( 40 + 40 ) = 116 in

Aoh = 621.5625 in2
Ao = 0.85 Aoh = 528.328 in2
d = 37.5 in
ph = 2 ( x1 + y1 ) = 109 in

Step 3 : Is the concrete section suffieciently large to support the torsion?
