Axial Load Capacity Of Reinforced Masonry Column In Pure Compression:

Calculation:

Designer/Checker:

Input:

Metric Units

(Note: All input Metric units are converted to English units for the equations below and then the output English units are converted back to Metric)

ASD Chapter 2, MSJC Code, axial load capacity for reinforced masonry column in pure compression with little or no eccentricity:

Area of steel reinforcement (As - in^2 or mm^2)

Allowable compressive stress of reinforcement (Fs - psi or MPa)

Compressive strength of masonry (f'm - psi or MPa)

Height of column (h - ft or m)

Column thickness (t - in or mm)

Column width (b - in or mm)

Output:

Column area, An =

Moment of Inertia, I =

Radius of gyration, r =

Slenderness ratio, h/r =

Compressive strength, Pa =
