- Easily change a parameter for a group of elements.
Reinforcement Ratio :
As : area of nonprestressed longitudinal reinforcement.
Ag : gross area of concrete section.
Stirrups conditions :
hx : maximum center-to-center spacing of longitudinal bars laterally supported by corners of crossties or hoop legs around the perimeter of a column or wall boundary element.
Shear in short columns :
Mn : nominal flexural strength at section.
V : design shear force for load combinations including earthquake effects.
ζ : shear stress.
lu : unsupported length of column.
b : width of compression face of member.
d : distance from extreme compression fiber to centroid of longitudinal tension reinforcement.
fc’ : specified compressive strength of concrete.
fy : specified yield strength for nonprestressed reinforcement.
fyt : specified yield strength of transverse reinforcement.
Av : area of shear reinforcement within spacing s.
s : center-to-center spacing of transverse reinforcement.
Shear Joints :
Vuj ≤ (Φ =0.85) * Vnj
Vuj = Tb1 + Cb2 – Vcol
Tb1 = Cb1 = α . As1 . fy
Tb2 = Cb2 = α . As2 . fy
(6/5) Beam/Column Capacity Ratio in SMFR :
