Design interaction diagrams for reinforced concrete circular columns following ACI 319-19

Abstract

The procedure for creating interaction diagrams for reinforced-concrete circular crosssections, based on ACI 318-19, is described in thepaper. The algorithm is generated based on mathematical tools Mathcad Prime. The author would like to introduce algorithms to thecompany designs, engineers build an evaluation method column bearing capacity of the circular cross-section. The obtained results are compared with a conventional method (ie, the computer software SP‐Column). The obtained results are promising, as the values obtained by the Interaction Charts and the conventional method appear to be in good agreement.
