Analyse the given section whether it can carry given axial load
and moment( one axis at a time)
Design Parameters used as input for design are
i. Dimensions b and D of the rectangular cross-section,
ii. Grades of concrete (fck) and steel (fy)
iii. Longitudinal steel reinforcing bars No. of bars and its
distribution along b and D. (Not pt/fck as per SP 16)
iv. Cover to longitudinal reinforcement [d] (Not d/D as per SP
16)
v. Axial Load (Pu) for all the design cases
. Based on the given design input parameters, graph of two nondimensional parameters , Pu/fck*b*d (for axial load) v/s
Mu/fck*b*d2 (for moment) are produced for the given column
section from stress block parameters.
. For given axial load Pu and thus Pu/fck*b*d, corresponding value
of Mu/fck*b*d2 is found out by interpolation. From this value

7) Finer intervals are taken from 0.30 to 0.7 to get closer to the balanced section
point which usually lies in this range for any section.
8) From Pu , we get values of Pu/fck*b*D.

This curve is the Pu-Mu Interaction Curve for that particular section.
11) The given axial load (Pu) for a load case is matched with the values of Pu from
the series.
12) The corresponding interpolated value of Mu/fck*b*D2 is calculated.
From this value, the moment capacity of the section can be easily found out.
Moment
