Software Verification: NTC 2008 Example 002

This document describes a numerical example that tests the demand-to-capacity ratio of a reinforced concrete column subjected to axial load and moment. The column is analyzed using SAP2000 software and results are verified with independent hand calculations. The hand calculations show the column's strength is controlled by compression and that the steel reinforcement yields as designed. Comparison of the SAP2000 and hand calculation results for demand-to-capacity ratio and forces show less than 1% difference, validating the accuracy of the computer model.

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.

In this example, a reinforced concrete column is subjected factored axial load N


= 2174 kN and moment My = 544 kN-m. This column is reinforced with 5-25
bars. The design capacity ratio is checked by hand calculations and computed
result is compared. The column is designed as a short, non-sway member.

HAND CALCULATION

COLUMN STRENGTH UNDER COMPRESSION CONTROL

fcu = 25 MPa fy = 460 MPa


b = 350 mm d = 490 mm

1) Because e = 250 mm < (2/3) d = 327 mm, assume compression failure. This assumption will
be checked later. Calculate the distance to the neutral axis for a balanced condition, cb:

Position of neutral axis at balance condition:

700 700
cb = dt = ( 490) = 296 mm
700 + f y 700 + 460

2) From the equation of equilibrium:

N = Cc + C s T
where
f ck 0.85 30
Cc = ab = 350a = 5950a
c 1.5
As' f ck 2500 0.85 30
fy - = 1.5
Cs = 460 - = 963, 043 N
s c 1.15
Assume compression steels yields, (this assumption will be checked later).
= 2174 f s ( f s < f y )
Af 2500 f s
T= s s=
s 1.15
N1 = 5,950a + 963, 043 - 2174 f s (Eqn. 1)

3) Taking moments about As:


1 a
( )
N 2 = ' Cc d - + Cs d - d '
e 2
The plastic centroid is at the center of the section and d " = 215 mm
e' = e + d " = 250 + 215 = 465 mm
1 a
N2 = 5950a 490 - + 963, 043 ( 490 - 60 )

N 2 = 6270a - 6.3978a 2 + 890,556 (Eqn. 2)

4) Assume c = 365 mm, which exceed cb (296 mm).

a = 0.8 365 = 292 mm

Substitute in Eqn. 2:
N 2 = 6270 292 - 6.3978 ( 292 ) + 890,556 = 2,175,893 N
2

5) Calculate fs from the strain diagram when c = 356 mm.

490 - 365
fs = 700 = 240.0 MPa
365
s = t = f s Es = 0.0012

6) Substitute a = 284.8 mm and fs = 263.4 MPa in Eqn. 1 to calculate N1:

N1 = 5950 ( 292 ) + 963, 043 - 2174 ( 240.0 ) = 2,178, 683 N

Which is very close to the calculated N2 of 2,175,893 (less than 1% difference)

250
M = Ne = 2175 = 544 kN-m
1000

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

365 - 60
s' = ( 0.0035 ) = 0.0029 > y = 0.0023
365
Compression steels yields, as assumed.

8) Therefore, section capacity is

N = 2,174 kN
M = 544 kN-m
