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 />

V N<br />

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

(0.01228in 2 )(70,000psi)(5.145in)<br />

V N<br />

= 8.283 kips
