V. ACI 318-14 Circular Column
Calculate the axial capacity of a circular column subjected to axial compressive force, given Ast
Details
A circular, cantilever column of length 5ft with an ultimate axial load of 500 kip has the following concrete and steel properties.
- Compressive strength of concrete (normal weight concrete), fc = 4,000 psi
- Yield strength of steel, fy = 60,000 psi
- Clear spacing for outermost bottom reinforcement to bottom face, Cc = 1.5 in
- Diameter of column, D = 20 in
- Strength reduction factor, ϕ = 0.65
- Number of #8 bars, N = 6
- Rebar diameter for #8 bar, d = 1 in
Factored axial load (axial demand), Pu = 500 kip
Validation
Gross area of concrete section, Ag = πD2/4 = 314.159 in2
Total area of steel reinforcement,
Nominal axial strength at zero eccentricity:
For tied reinforced column:
Capacity = ϕPn(max) = 694.129 kip
Ratio = Pu/ϕPn(max) = 0.72
