Design Criteria
Design Procedure
The program performs the calculations in accordance with the ACI-318-95 Code for Structural
Concrete
2. Select a trial reinforcement ratio, starting with minimum ratio of 1%, and distributing rebars along
the perimeter.
3. Compute the maximum axial capacity in compression, Pno and tension Pnt, and check against
applied loads.
4. Locate the neutral axis angle and its depth to satisfy applied load Pu and the resultant moment Muxy.
This is done by trial and error procedure. The internal stress resultants for each angle and depth of
neutral axis angle are computed (see procedure below) and then compared with applied loads. This
5. If capacity in step 3 or 4 is found to be not enough, then reinforcement is increased until maximum
allowable ratio (8%) is reached.
6. Cross-section is declared as inadequate if it requires more than maximum allowable steel ratio
1. The stress resultants are computed by using the first principles approach.
2. Strain in concrete and steel is determined depending upon the direction and depth of neutral axis.
3. Concrete force is computed by integrating the stress field (rectangular or parabolic stress curve) over
the cross-section using the Green's Theorem.
4. Steel stress is computed by summation of force in each bar, corresponding to stress at that location.
5. The computed stress resultants are reduced by appropriate capaity reduction factors for the Ultimate
Strength Design (or Worksing Strength Design) method.
