Software Verification: AISC-360-16 Example 005

The document summarizes an example problem from the AISC Steel Construction Manual testing the tension capacity design of a composite column in ETABS. The 14 ft composite column consists of a W10x45 steel section encased in concrete and is subjected to 32 kips of dead load compression and 100 kips of wind load tension. ETABS results for required strength and available strength are compared to independent hand calculations and match exactly. The conclusion is that ETABS accurately modeled the composite column design.

Design for Tension:

Required Compressive Strength:


The required compressive strength is (taking compression as negative and tension as
positive):
Pu = 0.9 • PD + 1.0 • PW = 0.9 • (−260) + 1.0 • 980.0 = 746 kips

Available Tensile Strength:


ΦPn =Φ ( As • Fy + Asr • Fysr ) =0.9(13.3 • 50 + 6.32 • 60) =939.8 kips
