EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
The Demand/Capacity ratio for a given axial loading and moment is tested in this
example.
RESULTS COMPARISON
Independent results are hand calculated and compared with ETABS design
check.

Output Parameter ETABS Independent Difference
CONCLUSION
The ETABS results show an acceptable match with the independent results.
HAND CALCULATION

5) Assuming the extreme fiber strain equals 0.003 and c= 30.1 inch, the steel stresses
and strains can be calculated. When the bar strain exceeds the yield strain, then
fs = f y :

Substituting in Eqn. 1 and 2 and iterating the value of the neutral axis depth until the
two equations are equal give
Pn1 = 1035 k
Pn2 = 1035 k
