Computer Software for Design of Reinforced Concrete Column

Introduction

Columns are important structural elements which support floors and roof and transfer the load to the ground through foundation. As such the columns have to be built with careful design. The existing method of design using interaction curve for axial force and uni-axial moment is available for circular and rectangular sections only. The proposed computer software programme can be used for design of columns of any cross section such as regular and irregular including solids or hollow sections and any reinforcement details.

Salient features:

Can be used for design of column of any cross-section including solid and hollow sections and any reinforcement detailing; Generates data for eleven shapes and cross-sections as shown in Fig. 1.
