Direct Biaxial Design of Columns
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 111, Issue 1
Abstract
A direct design method for determining the required column dimensions, concrete strength, and reinforcement arrangement is presented. The user need know only the n triplets which the column must resist. A field of acceptable solutions are computed. If the user supplies the in‐place costs of steel, concrete, and formwork, then the program computes a relative cost factor for each design to assist the user in selecting an economical solution.
