V. ACI 318-14 Rectangular Column
Calculate the axial capacity of a rectangular column subjected to axial compressive force, given Ast
Details
- Compressive strength of concrete (normal weight concrete), fc = 5,000 psi
- Yield strength of steel, fy = 60,000 psi
- Clear spacing for outermost bottom reinforcement to bottom face, Cc = 1.5 in
- Width of column, B = 20 in
- Depth of column, D = 30 in
- Strength reduction factor, ϕ = 0.65
- Number of #9 bars = 10
- Rebar diameter for #9 bar, Ød = 1.128 in
Factored axial load (axial demand), Pu = 1,538 kip
Validation
Gross area of concrete section, Ag = B×D = 600 in2
Total area of steel reinforcement, Ast = 10 in2
Nominal axial strength at zero eccentricity:
P0 = 0.85×fc(Ag - Ast) + fy×Ast = 3.108×103 kip
For tied reinforced column:
Pn(max) = 0.8·P0 = 2.486×103 kip
Capacity = ϕPn(max) = 1,615.9 kip
Ratio = Pu/ϕPn(max) = 0.952
