Reinforced Concrete Column Design per ACI 318-19

Notation

E_c = modulus of elasticity of concrete, psi
E_s = modulus of elasticity of reinforcement, psi
f_c^' = specified compressive strength of concrete, psi
f_y = specified yield strength for non prestressed reinforcement, psi

The design of reinforced concrete columns in ideCAD Structural provides adequate compression reinforcement and member size to guarantee the stability of the structure. In ideCAD, columns are rectangular, square, circular, or any polygonal shape.

General

Design properties for concrete and reinforcement can be selected to following Concrete and Reinforcement Materials. In addition, design properties such as modulus of elasticity for concrete E_c, modulus of elasticity for reinforcement E_s, specified compressive strength f_c^' and specified yield strength for reinforcement f_y are available inConcrete and Reinforcement Materials title.
