The designer is free to use any reasonable assumptions, including a nonlinear strain distribution in step 2 and nonlinear
material properties in step 3, so long as those assumptions
are supported by analyses, test data, or other documentation.
In general, the analysis is run with an assumption of a linear
strain distribution in step 2 and simplified uniaxial material
relationships in step 3.
Figure 1 illustrates the strain-compatibility procedure.
Figure 1a shows the subdivision of the cross-section into a
series of square fibers representing four different materials: unconfined concrete outside the ties, confined concrete
inside the ties (shaded), reinforcing bar steel, and rolled
shape steel. Figure 1b shows a linear strain distribution with
an arbitrary location of the neutral axis. Figure 1c shows
the material properties. For each material, it shows both the
nonlinear stress-strain curves as may be assumed for the
strain-compatibility analysis and the bilinear rigid-plastic
curves (dashed lines) that would be assumed for a simplified
analysis; for example, a plastic strength calculation. Figure
1d shows the stress distributions for the situation usually
used to compute the ultimate strength of the cross-section, in
other words, when the strain in the concrete, c, has reached
0.003 and the steel strain in the extreme fiber of the steel
shape, s, has exceeded its yield strain. The concrete stress
blocks are shown separately for clarity. Note that for this
case the unconfined stress-strain relationship is shown up to
the top edge of the section. Figure 1e shows a stress distribution when the concrete strain has exceeded 0.003 and the
steel shape and reinforcing bars are well into the strain-hardening range. In this case the confined concrete stress-strain
relationship is used, but limited to the confined section; the
unconfined section has spalled off. Figure 1f shows the typical stress distribution used for the plastic stress distribution
case. Note that this stress distribution does not correspond
exactly to any real stress distribution but is considered as
a conservative approximation for a section that can sustain
concrete strain on the order of 0.005 and steel strains larger
than 0.01.
In Figure 2, three qualitative curves are shown for the
stress distributions shown in Figures 1d through f. The first
curve is for the strength envelope consistent with a concrete
strain of 0.003 at the extreme fiber (Figure 1d) while the

Also note that Tables 4 and 5 for CFTs carry the fifth point
(E), which was dropped from the AISC Manual tables. Finally these tables also differ from the ones in the CD-Rom in
that the intermediate bars at the centroid of the sections are
not considered herein.
The generation of axial load-flexure interaction diagrams
is a well-documented but tedious procedure (Figure 1), involving the selection of a neutral axis location and a controlling strain (generally 0.003 for the concrete in compression). Assuming a linear distribution of strain (Figure 1b), a
corresponding stress distribution can be found based on the
stress-strain characteristics assumed for the materials (Figure 1c) and the level of strain (Figures 1d through f). Summing the forces and moments about the assumed reference
axis gives a single combination of axial load, P, and moment
strength, M. Moving the location of the neutral axis slightly
will lead to a different combination of axial load and moment strength, and the interaction surface can be generated
by moving the location of the neutral axis methodically (in
other words, giving the rounded curves in Figure 3). This is a
process that is most easily carried out with the aid of charts,
spreadsheets, or subroutines directly embedded within commercial structural analysis software packages.
It is important to recognize some characteristics of diagrams such as that shown in Table 1, particularly the difference between the assumed neutral axis and the reference
axis about which moments are calculated. The latter is an
arbitrary choice, usually taken at the centroid of the symmetric section. For that case, it is easy to see that insofar as
the summation of axial forces is concerned, the contributions
of the longitudinal bars and steel flanges in Figure 5 cancel
each other out, leaving only the contributions of the web of
the steel shape and the rectangular concrete block. Tables 2
through 5 make extensive use of these simplifications, and
what may appear to be missing terms in some of the equations shown are actually the result of cancellation of terms
as discussed above.

The fifth point (Point E), used for SRC bent about its weak
axis and concrete-filled tubes (Figure 3b), is computed by
selecting an arbitrary position of the neutral axis between
Points A and C. For SRC bent about the weak axis, this point
is usually taken with the neutral axis at the flange tips.
In the computations that follow, as with the prior examples, the materials are assumed as rigid perfectly-plastic and
assumed to have reached high strains so that the elastic contribution is small. The design does not include any explicit
checks to ascertain that these large strains can be achieved.
It is assumed that the requirements for local buckling and
transverse reinforcement implicitly satisfy this requirement.
All the steel is assumed to be yielding in tension or compression and strain hardening is ignored. The concrete is assumed to reach its strength at a strain of 0.003, and its nonlinear stress distribution is assumed to be well-represented
by an equivalent rectangular block with a stress at 0.85f c .
There is currently some discussion of whether this is the best
representation for high strength concrete, but this assumption has provided reasonable results for composite columns
with concrete strengths up to approximately 10 ksi. The differences in performance between confined and unconfined
concrete are ignored, except that for the case of concretefilled circular pipes, where the stress can be increased from
0.85 f c to 0.95f c as mentioned earlier.
Steel Reinforced Concrete (SRC) Major Axis Bending
The development of the unfactored interaction diagram for a
SRC column bent about its major axis (Table 2) requires the
following steps (Roik and Bergmann, 1992):
1. Point A is the squash load for the column, Po, obtained
by setting all the materials at their plastic axial strength.
Thus:
PB = 0
M D = Z s Fy + Z r Fyr + 2 Zc ( 0.85 fc

5. To calculate the moments at B and C, another mathematical trick is used. The stress distribution for Point C is
subtracted from that of Point B. Most of the forces cancel out, leading to the stress blocks shown in Figure 7.
Because these remaining stress blocks result in a zero
net moment about the centroid, the moments at B and C
must be equal. In addition, since we know from Step 2
(above) what the value of PC is, the distribution shown
in Figure 7 allows the value of hn to be calculated. In the
calculations for Figure 7, the steel stress is decreased by
0.85f c for consistency with the uniform stress used in
Step 2. In addition, one must check that hn < (d/2 tf )
to insure that the location of hn is within the web of the
steel section. Finally, note that there are no reinforcing

Stability Considerations
Once the cross-sectional strength has been established, this
interaction surface needs to be reduced to account for: (a) stability effects and (b) design strength as opposed to nominal
strength. To account for stability, the usual column formula
has been used in conjunction with an equivalent moment of
inertia. This is straightforward, although it results in a substantial difference in the approach to stability from that given,
for example, in ACI 318 (ACI, 2005) for composite columns.
The next step, the reduction from nominal to design loads,
is not so simple due to the fact that as the failure shifts from
tension yielding at low axial loads to compression at loads
above the balance point, it will seem that the overall factor
for the member should change. In reinforced concrete design
this is achieved by changing the resistance factor from 0.90
to 0.65 as the strain in the extreme tensile fiber goes from
0.0005 to the yield strain of the steel. This factor is applied to
both the moment and axial force components. AISC has chosen not to use that approach and to retain separate resistance
factors and safety factors for axial loads and flexure. This,
and the desire to provide simplified approaches for design,
has resulted in three separate approaches to checking the
strength of a composite beam-column: (1) an approach based
on the use of the existing interaction formulas in AISC 2005
Specification Chapter H (AISC, 2005a); (2) a more complex
approach based on the complete polygonal interaction diagram; and (3) a simplified version of the polygonal approach
that uses only one intermediate point. A description of these
approaches follows.

is developed for an 18 in. 18 in. SRC beam-column with
an embedded W1448 section. Additional reinforcement
consists of four #7 corner bars and #3 ties spaced at 12 in.
Materials used include Fy = 50 ksi, Fyr = 60 ksi, and fc =
3 ksi. Flexure is about the major axis, the effective length is
24 ft, and buckling is restrained about the minor axis.
Limitations:
1) Normal weight concrete 10 ksi > fc > 3 ksi; in this case
fc = 3 ksi o.k.

CONCLUSIONS
This paper presents the background on the step-by-step
procedures available in the 2005 AISC Specification (AISC,
2005a) for computing composite column and beam-column
strength, including accounting for stability effects on members subjected to biaxial flexure plus axial compression.
The new procedures highlighted in the 2005 AISC Specification are discussed, including the use of a plastic stress
distribution method that accounts for the beneficial effects
of the concrete to the strength of the cross-section. Several
examples are given for calculating the design strength of
encased composite sections (SRC) as well as filled composite sections, both rectangular (RCFT) and circular (CCFT).
