TS 500-2000 (R2018) Example 002

This document summarizes the results of a software verification test using the structural analysis program ETABS. The test checked the program's ability to accurately calculate the demand-capacity ratio for a reinforced concrete column subjected to axial load and bending moment. Hand calculations matched the program output to within 0.8%. The summary concludes the computer and independent results show acceptable agreement, validating the program is performing the P-M interaction check correctly.

P-M INTERACTION CHECK FOR COMPRESSION-CONTROLLED RECTANGULAR COLUMN

EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
The Demand/Capacity ratio for a given axial loading and moment is tested in this
example.

A reinforced concrete column is subjected to factored axial load N = 1908 kN


and moment My = 477 kN-m. This column is reinforced with five 25M bars. The
design capacity ratio is checked by hand calculations and the result is compared
with the computed result. The column is designed as a short, non-sway member.

HAND CALCULATION

Column Strength under compression control


fck = 25 MPa fyk = 420 MPa
b = 350 mm d = 490 mm

1) Because e = 167.46 mm < (2/3)d = 326.67 mm, assume compression failure. This
assumption will be checked later. Calculate the distance to the neutral axis for a
balanced condition, cb:
Position of neutral axis at balance condition:
0.003  2x105 600
cb = dt =  490  = 305 mm
0.003  2x10 + f yk

600 + 420 / 1.15

2) From the equation of equilibrium:

N = Cc  C s  T
where
Cc = 0.85fck ab = 0.85  25 / 1.5  350a = 4,958a

Assume compression steels yields, (this assumption will be checked later).

4) Assume c = 358.3 mm, which exceed cb (305 mm).

a = 0.85  358 = 304.6 mm

Substitute in Eqn. 2:
N 2  5525 • 304.6  5.3312  304.6   815,840  1,907, 643 N

5) Calculate fs from the strain diagram when c = 359 mm.


 490  358.3 
fs    600  220.2 > 420 MPa
 358.3 
εs = εt  f s Es = 0.0011

6) Substitute a = 304.6m and fs 221.2 MPa in Eqn. 1 to calculate N1:


N1  4,958  304.6   882, 246  2174  220.2   1,907, 601 N

which is very close to the calculated N2 of 2,002,751 (less than 1% difference)


 250 
M = Ne = 1908    477 kN-m
 1000 

7) Check if compression steel yields. From strain diagram,


 358  60 
s     0.003  0.0025   y  0.0021
 358 
Compression steel yields, as assumed.

8) Therefore, section capacity is


N = 1908 kN
M = 477 kN-m
