COLUMN INTERACTION DIAGRAM

6/17/2015

The COLUMN STRENGTH INTERACTION

DIAGRAM is a curve plot of points; where
each point has two ordinates. The first
ordinate is bending moment strength and
the second is the corresponding axial force.
Both ordinates are linked with eccentricity.
The shape of the curve, or the strength
interaction diagram, can be defined by
finding the ordinates of major seven points.

Point 1: axial compression at zero moment.

Point 2: maximum axial compression load permitted by code at zero eccentricity.
Point 3: maximum moment strength at the maximum axial compression load permitted by
code.
Point 4: compression and moment strength at zero strain in the tension side reinforcement.
Pont 5: compression and moment strength at 50% strain in the tension side reinforcement.
Point 6: compression and moment strength at balanced conditions.
Point 7: moment strength at zero axial force.

DESIGN USING NONNON-DIMENSIONAL

INTERACTION DIAGRAMS
1. Calculate factored loads (Pu , Mu ) and e for relevant load combinations
2. Select potentially governing case(s)
3. Use estimate h to calculate h, e/h for governing case(s)
4. Use appropriate chart (App. A) target g

6. If dimensions are significantly different from estimated (step 3),

recalculate ( e / h ) and redo steps 4 & 5.
Revise Ag if necessary.

7. Select steel

Ast = Ag

8. Using actual dimensions & bar sizes to check all load combinations
( use charts or exact: interaction diagram).
9. Design lateral reinforcement.
