Maximum axial compressive strength

Nominal axial compressive strength Pn is limited to a value of Pn,max =0.8Po for non-prestressed members.

...

Strength reduction factors ϕ is determined according to using ACI Table 21.2.2. Since the section is tension controlled, a ϕ factor for tension control is used.

Design assumptions

The flexural and axial strength of a member calculated by the strength design method, two basic conditions should be satisfied:

...

  • The distance between the fiber of maximum compressive stress and the neutral axis, c, is perpendicular to the neutral axis.

  • The value of β1 is determined using ACI Table 22.2.2.4.3.

Combined Flexural and Axial Strength

Nominal flexural strength Mn and axial strength are calculated using Design Assumptions. While finding the flexural design strength, combined with axial force ϕMn, it should be found in which control zone the cross-section is. When the section is tension controlled, a ϕ factor for tension control is used. A ϕ factor for compression control is used when the section is compression controlled. When the section is within the transition region, ϕ is linearly interpolated between the two limit values.
