C13 General Column - Product Spec Sheet

GENERAL COLUMN DESIGN ANY SHAPE OF REINFORCED COLUMN DESIGN | DETAILING | C13

Theory used in this module  The section properties are calculated, and the column slenderness evaluated.  For a slender column, the additional slenderness moment is calculated and applied about the weak axis. The output gives the X and Y axis components.  The design moment and axis are determined by taking the vector sum of the applied and additional moments.  An iterative solution is obtained using strain compatibility and equilibrium as criteria.

Workflow Columns and their applied loading and properties can either be defined in the module or imported from Sumo.

Key Features  Generation of bending schedules

 Custom Sections with general column design  Evaluate column capacity for entered bars
