Job # Orig Chk: ###

###

Purpose: ###

This calculation evaluates concrete members carrying both flexure and axial load using thrust-moment, ###

or P-M, interaction diagrams generated per ACI 318 and ACI 350. Standard axial/flexural provisions, Ch 10, ###

are considered. ACI 350 durability factor is used to factor down the flexural and axial capacities instead ###

of factoring up the factored loads. The end result is an "inner curve" that governs for ACI 350 capacity in the ###

tension-controlled and transition zones. ###

###

Assumptions/Limitations: ###

- Only one layer of steel each for top face reinforcing and bottom face reinforcing can be input. ###

- Ties are provided for confinement (not spirals) ###

Validation: ###
-XLC formulae and peer review provide verification of intended functionality. ###

-Cross-check against software solution (SP Column) ###

###
