Verification of Rectangular Cross Section Made of Plain Concrete

The cross-section is rectangular, loaded by the bending moment M, normal force N (applied in the cross-section centroid) and by the shear force V. The cross-section bearing capacity subjected to bending moment is given by (Art. D.3):

where (Art. 7.2.4, Art. D.2.2):

The shear strength is provided by (Art. 6.3.3):

Strength of concrete cross-section subject to the combination of bending moment and normal force is derived from the following expressions depending on the normal force eccentricity e₀ (Art. D.2.1):

As the greater of:

where (Art. D.2.1):

Interaction diagram N-M

Usage ratio of concrete cross-section subject to the combination of bending moment and normal force is determined as |0L| / |0R₁| or |1L| / |1R₂|. Where L is load, R₁ is strength with prescribed eccentricity and R₂ is strength with prescribed normal force.
