Approximate Analysis Approximate Analysis MethodsMethods

Use Reciprocal Failure surface S2 (1/Pn,ex,ey)

The ordinate 1/Pn on the surface S2 is approximated by ordinate 1/Pn on the plane S’2 (1/Pn ex,ey)

Plane S2 is defined by points A,B, and C.

Note: the Pnx & Pny include the corner steel bars in both calculations a more conservative solution would be to use 1/2 the steel in each direction so As= 2(1.27 in2) which would reduce Pu . (Remember fs can not be greater than 60 ksi, so that Pnx = 620.3 k and Pny= 578.4 k Pn = 360.7 k and Pu= 234.5 k )

A rectangular braced column of a multistory frame building has floor height lu =25 ft. It is subjected to service dead-load moments M2= 3500 k-in. on top and M1=2500 k-in. at the bottom. The service live load moments are 80% of the dead-load moments. The column carries a service axial dead-load PD = 200 k and a service axial live-load PL = 350 k. Design the cross section size and reinforcement for this column. Given A = 1.3 and B = 0.9. Use a d’=2.5 in. cover with an sustain load = 50 % and fc = 7 ksi and fy = 60 ksi.
