2019-03-25 - Column Design Flowchart

This document outlines the steps for column design using ETABS and external design software. The steps include: 1) extracting load and material data from an ETABS model; 2) sorting the loads by column designation; 3) inputting and checking column properties including rebar placement; 4) running the column design either in CSiCol or SPCol using the extracted inputs; and 5) printing output reports if the design checks pass.
