spColumn 4.6

The program offers investigation of irregularly shaped, reinforced concrete column sections that may contain openings or boundary elements. Slenderness effects producing magnified moments may be included in the investigation. You can obtain the P-M interaction diagrams from both uniaxial and biaxial runs, as well as the Mx-My moment contour plots from biaxial runs for even the most irregular column and shearwall sections.

spColumn is developed for the design and investigation of reinforced concrete sections subject to combined axial and flexural loads. Slenderness effects can be simplified through moment magnification in lieu of complicated and time consuming 3D models to account for second order effects. The section can be rectangular, round or irregular, with any reinforcement layout or pattern.
