Tutorial 4 – Solving & Results
Version 5.0 103
Click on the Concrete Columns tab.
The column design results are similar to the beam, except that the bending and
shear results are given for biaxial loads.
Click on the button located on the window toolbar.
This will bring up an envelope detail report for the concrete column that looks
similar to the one shown below:
Because this detail report is based on moment and shear envelopes, it is somewhat
different that the one we looked at for a steel member.
Scroll down to take a look at the concrete span and reinforcing information.
In concrete design, each column or beam is broken down into spans depending on
how many points of support it has. This portion of the detail report also contains
information on the reinforcing steel required for each region of each span.
After this brief review of our concrete results, it should be clear that we will need
to increase the size of our members.
Envelope Solution
Click on the Solve button. Select Envelope of Marked Combinations and
click Solve. Again, agree to clear the results.
