Column Information
This section identifies the basic column information related to the column location and geometry.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Reinforcement | The section identifies the reinforcement information. |
| Longitudinal: | Longitudinal bar pattern layout and reinforcement size. |
| Transverse: | Traverse reinforcement size and spacing starting from the bottom of the column at a location of 0.0'. |
| As: | Reinforcement longitudinal area and in bracket is the reinforcement ratio. Note that the reinforcement ratio may be controlled by either the column or beam limits depending on the axial load in the design data point. |
| Longitudinal Bar Max Tension Stress ratio: | This is the maximum tension stress on any longitudinal bar for any design data point. The number is used to check if any bar has exceeded 0.5 fy. This information can be used by the engineer to decide what type of splices to specify for the column. |
