    This document provides an example of verifying software for analyzing reinforced concrete columns. It tests the capacity ratio calculation for a reinforced concrete column subjected to axial load and moment. The column is modeled in ETABS and the demand/capacity ratio is calculated and compared to an independent hand calculation. Both methods find the ratio to be 1.0 with 0% difference, verifying the software is accurately modeling the column interaction.

    The example tests checking the demand to capacity ratio of a reinforced concrete column subjected to axial load and bending moment using ETABS software and comparing the results to independent hand calculations.

    The example is testing the demand to capacity ratio of a tied reinforced concrete column in ETABS.

    The hand calculation involves determining the depth to the neutral axis, establishing equilibrium, taking moments, calculating steel stresses, and checking yield conditions.

    P-M INTERACTION CHECK FOR COMPRESSION-CONTROLLED RECTANGULAR COLUMN
    EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
    The Demand/Capacity ratio for a given axial loading and moment is tested in this
    example.
    A reinforced concrete column is subjected factored axial load Pu = 398.4 k and
    moments Muy = 332 k-ft. This column is reinforced with 4 #9 bars. The total area
    of reinforcement is 8.00 in2. The design capacity ratio is checked by hand
    calculations and result is compared.

    HAND CALCULATION
    COLUMN STRENGTH UNDER COMPRESSION CONTROL
    fc = 4 ksi
    b = 14 inch
    Pu = 398.4 kips

    fy = 60 ksi
    d = 19.5 inch
    Mu = 332 k-ft

    1) Because e = 10 inch < (2/3)d = 13 inch., assume compression failure. This assumption will be
    checked later. Calculate the distance to the neutral axis fro a balanced condition, cb:
    Position of neutral axis at balance condition:
    cb =

    87
    87 + f y

    dt =

    87
    87 + 60

    19.5 = 11.54 inch

    2) From the equation of equilibrium:


    Pn = C c C s T

    where
    C c = 0.85 f c ab = 0.85 4 14 a = 47.6 a
    '

    '

    C s = As

    '

    - 0.85 f c

    = 4 60 - 0.85 4 = 226.4 kips

    Assume compression steels yields, (this assumption will be checked later).


    T = As f s = 4 f s

    < fy

    (Eqn. 1)

    Pn = 47.6 a + 226.4 - 4 f s

    3) Taking moments about As:


    Pn =

    1
    C
    ' c
    e

    d - Cs d - d

    The plastic centroid is at the center of the section and d " = 8.5 inch
    '
    "
    e = e + d = 10 + 8.5 = 18.5 inch.
    Pn =

    (Eqn. 2)

    Pn = 50.17 a - 1.29 a + 208

    4) Assume c = 13.45 inch, which exceed cb (11.54 inch).


    a = 0.85 13.45 = 11.43 inch

    Substitute in Eqn. 2:
    Pn = 50.17 11.43 - 1.29 11.43 + 208 = 612.9 kips
    2

    5) Calculate fs from the strain diagram when c = 13.45 inch.


    19.5 - 13.45
    fs =
    13.45

    87 = 39.13

    ksi

    s = t f s E s = 0.00135

    6) Substitute a = 13.45 inch and fs = 39.13 ksi in Eqn. 1 to calculate Pn2:


    Pn2 = 47.6 11.43 + 226.4 - 4 39.13 613.9 kips
    Which is very close to the calculated Pn2 of 612.9 kips (less than 1% difference)

    M n = Pn e = 612.9

    7) Check if compression steels yield. From strain diagram,


    13.45 - 2.5
    0.003 = 0.00244 > y 0.00207 ksi
    13.45

    s =
    '

    Compression steels yields, as assumed.


    8) Calculate ,
    d t = d = 19.5 inch,

    c = 13.45 inch
    19.45 - 13.45
    = 0.00135
    13.45

    t (at the tension reinforcement level) = 0.003

    Since t 0.002 , then = 0.65


    Pn = 0.65 612.9 398.4 kips

    M n = 0.65 510.8 332 k-ft.
