Building Structural Design - Moment Magnification

Chapter 4: Reinforced Concrete Columns, Part 3

         

Description:

          This application uses the procedure of Section 10.11 of ACI 318 (Approximate evaluation of slenderness effects) to compute moment magnifiers for a square or rectangular column, either subject to sidesway, or braced to prevent appreciable sidesway. Moments computed by an ordinary first order frame analysis are then multiplied by the applicable moment magnifier to obtain the moments to be used for design.
