Reinforced Concrete Column Design per ACI 318-19 §10, §18

  • ideCAD Structural automatically designs reinforced concrete columns per ACI 318-19


Notation

Ec = modulus of elasticity of concrete, psi
Es = modulus of elasticity of reinforcement, psi
fc' = specified compressive strength of concrete, psi
fy = 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 for the following Concrete and Reinforcement Materials per ACI 318-19 with ideCAD. In addition, design properties such as modulus of elasticity for concrete Ec, modulus of elasticity for reinforcement Es, specified compressive strength fc', and specified yield strength for reinforcement fy are available inConcrete and Reinforcement Materials per ACI 318-19 with ideCAD title.
