Capacity Models of RC Column<br />
Specimen: Shear Capacity<br />
Total shear capacity of an RC column depends on the shear<br />
capacity of the concrete, V C and the shear capacity carried by<br />
the transverse reinforcement, V ST in the column<br />
V N = (V C + V ST ) = 2*[1+(P/2000*Ag)]*√f C ’*b W *d +<br />
[(4*A ST *f YT *d)/s]<br />
..where A ST<br />
is the transverse reinforcement area, f YT<br />
is yield strength of transverse reinforcement,<br />
d is distance from compression fiber to farthest tensile reinforcement, s is transverse<br />
reinforcement spacing, b W<br />
is the width of column x-section, P is axial load<br />

= 2*[1+(10,000lb/(2000*35.12in 2 ))]*√(3000psi)*(6in)(5.145in) +<br />
