Direct Design Method and Design Diagram for Reinforced Concrete Columns and Shear Walls
Publication: Structures Congress 2018: Buildings and Disaster Management
ABSTRACT
Design of reinforced concrete columns and shear walls is an iterative process. The capacity of an assumed section is checked using interaction diagrams and the procedure continues until a satisfactory section is found. This study introduces “Direct Design” method and “Design Diagram”. Direct design method is an analytical approach by which the required area of reinforcement is determined directly without using an interaction diagram. This method provides a fitted solution for a reinforced concrete section; the capacity of the section is equal to the applied load and moments. For each column or shear wall, many fitted section with different sizes and bar arrangements could be. A design diagram shows all possible fitted sections for a column or shear wall. This study provides an algorithm for making design diagrams.
