Wall Section Gross Area given Axial Capacity of Wall evaluator uses Gross Area of Column = (Axial Capacity of Wall)/(0.55*Strength Reduction Factor for Bearing Walls*Specified 28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete*(1-((Effective Length Factor*Vertical Distance between Supports)/(32*Overall Thickness of Wall))^2)) to evaluate the Gross Area of Column, The Wall Section Gross Area given Axial Capacity of Wall formula is defined as the total area enclosed by the walls. It is the sum of all floors of a building included within the outside faces of its exterior walls, including all vertical penetration areas. Gross Area of Column is denoted by Ag symbol.
How to evaluate Wall Section Gross Area given Axial Capacity of Wall using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Wall Section Gross Area given Axial Capacity of Wall, enter Axial Capacity of Wall (ϕPn), Strength Reduction Factor for Bearing Walls (ϕ), Specified 28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete (f'c), Effective Length Factor (k), Vertical Distance between Supports (lc) & Overall Thickness of Wall (h) and hit the calculate button.
