Biaxial angle steps affect the solution accuracy and speed.

The capacity ratio is computed for each column based on capacity interaction surfaces and axial force-biaxial bending in each load combination. The program generates EXACT (not approximate or empirical) P-Mx-My interaction surfaces for all sections according to user-specified design criteria. A flow chart is included for implementing the method on a programmable calculator or microcomputer.The concrete column module designs concrete rectangular or circular columns against axial, uniaxial or biaxial bending as well as shear based on ACI 318-02/05/08/11/14 Code Provisions. Three numerical examples illustrate the versatility of the procedure. These include reinforced concrete beams (singly reinforced, doubly reinforced, or T-beams), reinforced concrete columns under eccentric load (rectangular or I-shaped columns), and prestressed concrete beams (slabs or T-beams). Designers will find this method useful because one simple set of equations can be applied to a wide range of practical problems. Partial prestressing prestressed concrete reinforced concrete serviceability Ī simplified procedure for determining working stresses in cracked reinforced concrete and partially prestressed concrete sections is presented.
