Axial Load Capacity
Axial Load Capacity is defined as the maximum load along the direction of the drive train.
Symbol: Pu
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Resistance Factor
The Resistance Factor accounts for the possible conditions that the actual fastener strength may be less than the calculated strength value. It is given by AISC LFRD.
Symbol: Φ
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Area of Steel Reinforcement
The Area of Steel Reinforcement is the cross-sectional area of steel reinforcement.
Symbol: Ast
Measurement: AreaUnit: mm²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Yield Strength of Reinforcing Steel
The Yield Strength of Reinforcing Steel is the maximum stress that can be applied before it begins to change shape permanently. This is an approximation of the elastic limit of the steel.
Symbol: fy
Measurement: StressUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Eccentricity of Column
The Eccentricity of Column is the distance between the middle of the column's cross-section and the eccentric load.
Symbol: e
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Bar Diameter
Bar Diameter are most usually comprised to 12, 16, 20, and 25 mm.
Symbol: Db
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Gross Area of Column
The Gross Area of Column is the total area enclosed by the column.
Symbol: Ag
Measurement: AreaUnit: mm²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete
The 28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete is the average compressive strength of concrete specimens that have been cured for 28 days.
Symbol: f'c
Measurement: StressUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Effective Length of Column
The Effective Length of Column can be defined as the length of an equivalent pin-ended column having the same load-carrying capacity as the member under consideration.
Symbol: L
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
