User's Guide: A Computer Program for Strength Analysis of Non-Hydraulic Concrete Structural Elements. Report 2. Strength Design of Reinforced Concrete Column Sections (PCAUC)

摘要

Strength investigation on nonhydraulic beams and columns and strength design of nonhydraulic columns define the program described in this user's guide. The program strength Design of Reinforced Concrete Column Sections (PCAUC) obtained from the Portland Cement Association and adapted to Corps of Engineers usage, applies a fundamental therory and, therefore, is not code-dependent. This program, Portland Cement Association's PCAUC, and another program, Concrete General Strength Investigation (CGSI), complement each other in their capabilities and their equipment requirements. Program PCAUC may be used to design and/or investigate reinforced concrete compression members. There is no graphics output for results from this program. Program CGSI investigates the strength of a reinforced concrete member with cross sections subjected to combined axial load and biaxial bending. Results are presented in graphical form. Neither of the progrms considers shear.
