GENERAL COLUMN DESIGN ANY SHAPE OF REINFORCED COLUMN DESIGN | DETAILING | C13
Summary General Column designs columns with any general shape. Rather than using the simplified design approach set out in most codes, General Column designs the column section from first principles.
What makes this module special?
Custom sections Evaluate column capacity for entered bars Generation of bending schedules
Detailed Description Design and detail concrete columns with any general shape. Enter the column outline and any openings, as well as the position and size of each longitudinal reinforcement bar. General Column designs columns that do not necessarily fall inside the scope of the codes’ simplified design method requirements. The module therefore reverts to basic principles, e.g., strain compatibility and equilibrium, to analyse columns. During the design, you have the option of evaluating the column capacity for the reinforcement bars as entered, or to calculate the minimum bar size required to resist the design loads. You can generate a reinforcement bending schedule that you can edit and print with Padds .
