COMPUTERIZED MODULAR RATIO DESIGN OF REINFORCED CONCRETE MEMBERS SUBJECTED TO AXIAL LOAD AND BIAXIAL BENDING
A computerized method of analysis and design of reinforced concrete members of arbitrary cross-sections subjected to axial load and biaxial bending is proposed. The design process has been computerized to full automation - in the sense that given the concrete section and the applied loading, the program directly evaluates the amount of reinforcement required and the corresponding stress envelope. The strength of concrete in tension is neglected in the analysis. An iterative process which successively adjusts the section properties according to the stress state is employed. The design process is basically an iterative process of gradually increasing the amount of reinforcement till the permissible stresses are not exceeded. Reinforcement is added at locations of highest mean square stress in order to utilize fully the reinforcement added. Multiple loading cases are considered. (TRRL)
