General
Code Check Template: The code check template is utilized to extract global parameters, results from finite element analysis, and limit states employed in the design process.
Pier : Pier for code check. The selected object is only used for extracting the results of an analysis and performing demand computation. Capacity computation will rely on the reinforcement information and section collected in this section.
Code Check Loc and Rebar Data: Select a section that contains longitudinal rebars. This section will be used for capacity computations at the proposed station entered in the 'Force Station(from Top of the Column)' parameter.
Force Station(from Top of the Column): The code check station is measured from the top of the column.
Stirrup Rebar Profile: Choose the rebar profile.
Spacing of Stirrups: The distance between each stirrup at the specified force station.
Num. of legs in Dir Z: The number of legs in the Z direction of the column section.
Num. of legs in Dir Y: The number of legs in the Y direction of the column section.
Stirrup Rebar material: Choose the material.
Shear Reinforcement Type[Spiral/Tie]: Spiral reinforcement is a continuous helical reinforcement used to resist lateral forces and provide confinement to the concrete core, while tie reinforcement connects two or more structural elements together to resist tensile forces and create a continuous load path for the structure.
Design Parameters
Effective Length Factor(K_eff) Z dir.: Effective length factor for compression members specified in Article 4.6.2.5 in the Z direction of the column section.
Effective Length Factor(K_eff) Y dir.: Effective length factor for compression members specified in Article 4.6.2.5 in the Y direction of the column section.
Param. of the Effect of Moment-Curvature(Cm) Z dir: Moment magnification factor in the Z direction of the column section.
Param. of the Effect of Moment-Curvature(Cm) Y dir.: Moment magnification factor in the Y direction of the column section.
As seen in the drawings below,
The axis of the column is the X direction
The longitudinal direction of the alignment is the Z direction of the column section
The transverse direction of the alignment is the Y direction of the column section.
Be aware that the rotation angle of the column does not change the local column directions, and the rotation angle is applied to the column clockwise.
