Check Flexural/Shear Stress In Reinforced Masonry Column:
 
Calculation:
Designer/Checker:
   
Input:  
   
 
(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, check flexural/shear stress in reinforced masonry column subjected to flexural/shear stress:
In this calculation to design a new column, enter the variables directly below.  Then click the first "calculate" button to come up with a trial steel area.  Next, leaving the variables already entered, enter the trial steel area used then click the second "calculate" button for the final results.  To evaluate an existing column enter the variables below and the trial steel area and click the second "calculate" button for the results.
     
   
   
     
Specified compressive stress of masonry unit (f'm - psi or MPa)
Allowable reinforcement tensile stress (Fs - psi or MPa)
Moment on column due to lateral load or eccentricity(M - in-lb or N-m )
Maximum design shear (V - lb or N)
Assumed ratio of dist between centroid of flexural compressive forces and centroid of tensile forces to depth (j - typically 0.9 is used)
Distance from the extreme compression fiber to centroid of tension reinforcement (d - in or mm)
Width of column (b in or mm)
