Concrete Column Design - Structural Overview

​


Dear ASDIP Customer:
Columns are very important structural elements. The design of slender concrete columns subject to axial loads and bending moments may be cumbersome and time-consuming. The generation of the interaction diagram may become very complex, particularly for bi-axial columns.

I have prepared a blog post with a short video, with an overview of the design methodology, and engineering background with comments about the most important topics. You are invited to read this blog post and watch the video.

Shear Lug Design - Overview of the ACI Provisions

Image
Shear lugs are steel elements welded to the underside of base plates to resist shear loads. The design of shear lugs may be time-consuming since it included the check of a number of limit states per the ACI 318-19 anchoring provisions. But why do you need to design a shear lug? And if you need it, how do you design it? What are the limit states to be checked? Are there any additional dimensional requirements? I have prepared a blog post with a short video with a brief overview of the new requirements for shear lugs in the latest ACI 318 anchoring provisions, using ASDIP STEEL as the supporting tool. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Concrete Continuous Beams: A Structural Design Challenge

Image
  Dear ASDIP Customer: The design of concrete continuous beams may be time-consuming. After defining the loads, it's necessary to perform the beam analysis in order to find the shears and moments along the beam, and then design the reinforcement to provide the required strength, How do you generate the shear and moment diagrams? Is the shape of the cross section important? How do you calculate the strength? I have prepared a blog post with a brief overview of the engineering background and a short video, where I discuss the required steps in a typical concrete continuous beam design.  Y ou are invited to read this blog post and watch the video.
