Slender Columns

As specified in ACI 10.10.2.1, How do you compare the Moment including the Second-order effects in compression members is less than 1.4 times the first order moments in RC Pier?

Parents
  • The gravity Load stability check which basically includes the self weight and other dead loads , RCPier basically doesn't split the Live load and Dead load but combines together to perform P delta analysis . RCpier performs direct P - delta analysis and the condition as specified in ACI 10.10.2.1 is not checked.

    Just to add a note Under analysis TAB we cannot see the P-delta effect . P-delta can be seen only on the column design status. In the analysis Tab it will be just first order analysis.  User can use these 2 values to compare .
    Please let me know if you need any additional information.
