Verification of Circular RC Cross Section
The program verifies a reinforced concrete pile using the method of limit deformation (Art 10.6.1). The maximum allowable strain of concrete in compression is 0.003.
The degree of reinforcement is checked using the formula:
- Column - check for dominant compression (Art. 10.7.1)
- Beam - check for dominant bending (Art. 8.1.6.1)
where: | Dp | - | pile diameter |
As | - | cross sectional area of reinforcement |
Interaction diagram N-M
Usage ratio of concrete cross-section subject to the combination of bending moment and normal force is determined as |0L| / |0R|. Where L is load and R is strength with prescribed excentricity.
Shear
First, the program computes the ultimate shear strength of concrete Vc. Formulas are from Art. 8.2.4.1, where the section width (bv) and effective depth (dv) are replaced according to option Shear of circular piles.
where (Art. 8.2.1.9, Art. 8.2.4.3):
If the ultimate shear strength of concrete is exceeded, the ultimate shear strength Vu,max and strength of reinforced section Vus are checked (Art. 8.2.5.2).
