V. ACI 318-99 Circular Column

Determine the reinforced steel quantity for a circular column per ACI 318-99.

Reference

Chu-Kia Wang and Charles G.Salmon, Reinforced Concrete Design, 5th Edition, Examples problem 13.15.1, p481 .

Problem

P_u = 1,050 kips

M_uz = M_uy = 0 ft·kips

f'_c = 4,000 psi

f_y = 60,000 psi

Spiral lateral reinforcement used.

Comparison

Table 1. Comparison of results
Result Type	Reference	STAAD.Pro	Difference
Required steel area (in²)	10.45	10.505	none
Provided steel area (in²)	10.82 (7- #11)	10.82 (18- #7)	none

Note: STAAD reports a more economical bar arrangement than the reference book.
