Sample C1 column design line spreadsheets will be introduced in this section.
...
Column Design Line Data
This spreadsheet indicates the columns at each floor in the C1 design line. Verification of the column design state is performed from column design line data spreadsheet.

Figure 2
Assigned analysis source, code check template, demand/capacity ratio datas are displayed in this spreadsheet as illustrated in Figure 2Source/sources of the analysis result used by the code check object for the column is listed in Analysis Source. To change the analysis source go to Design Templates.
Default code check template assigned in Design Criteria can be edited for each column in the spreadsheet. To change the template click on the code check template cell and select from the drop down menu.
Design state shows the demand/capacity ratio after the run of the code check and shows if the column design is adequte or not.
Code Check Timestamp show the last run time of the code check object.
→ Click Show to see the detailed report of the column in the spreadsheet as illustrated in Figure 3.
...
→ Click Verify All to run code check for all the columns in the design line.
→ Click Verify Selected and select columns from the drawings for running code check.
→ Click Interaction Diagram and select a column to see the interaction diagram of the column.
...
Axial Force Moment Design
Axial reinforcement design of the columns are made from this spreadsheet.
...
Figure 4
Axial force and moment momentY, momentZ ranges of selected analysis sources and demand/ capacity ratio of the column are displayed for each floor in the spreadsheet demonstrated in Figure 4.
→ User can change the rebar diameter from the spreadsheet.
→ #of rebar along width/depth data must be entered for rectangular columns
Rebar count will automatically calculated for rectangular columns.
→ Rebar count must be entered for circular columnsRebar definitions of abitrary columns are made in rebar templates spreadsheet.
Reinforcement will be distributed uniformly along the circular section of the column
Rebar Templates spreadsheet is more handy for the design of arbitrary columns.
...
Figure 5
Rebar detailings in the section drawings at each floor will be updated according to the entered data as illustrated in Figure 5.
...
Shear and torsional reinforcement design of the column is made from this spreadsheet.
...
Figure 6
Demand/Capacity ratio, shear results in Y and Z directions, torsion result of selected analysis sources ShearY, ShearZ and torsion results, and demand/capacity ratio of the column section at each floor are displayed in the spreadsheet demonstrated in Figure 6.
...
→ User can set spiral for shear reinforcement.
Rebar Templates spreadsheet is more handy for arbitrary columns shear torsion design.
...
Design Properties
General properties that affect the column design can be set from this spreadsheet as illustrated in Figure 7.

Reinforcement Properties
...
Reinforcement detailings of arbitrary columns are defined from this spreadsheet. Also custom detailing of rectangular or circular columns can be created from this spreadsheet.
...

...
→ Enter the clear cover + diameter of the stirrup+ diameter of the longitudinal reinforcement/2 value as shown in Figure 9.2.
Then the reference area where the reinforcements can be distributed will be generated as illustrated in Figure 9.3.
...
→ Click to where the reinforcements will be located as demonstrated in Figure 9.4.
...
Figure 9.4
→ Select the default longitudinal reinforcement in the spreadsheet as demonstrated in Figure 9.5.
...
User can edit the diameter of each reinforcement from the spreadsheet shon in Figure 9.6.
→ Click Back to Rebar Template to go back .
→ Click Show Stirrups as shown in Figure 13 to go to stirrup reinforcements spreadsheet as shown in Figure 9.7.
...
→ Click Draw Stirrup as shown in Figure 9.7 and stirrup draw the line through longitudinal reinforcementsreinforcement centers.
→ Hit ESC to finish drawing
...
Strirrup center line will automatically generated as illustrated in Figure 9.8.
Since arbitrary column can have variable geometry, AEC | BOLT Building Design Suite allows engineer to make decision about the provided strirup legs for shear directions and for torsion.
→ Click Group X Rebars / Group Y Rebars shown in Figure 9.7to group reinforcements in directions
→ Select reinforcements as shown in Figure 9.9
