Design for combined axial and bending (column and wall:ACI 318)

Tekla Structural Designer designs the column for an applied axial force and applied bending about one or both axes of the section. In the case of bi-axial bending, a resultant moment is created for the combination of the applied moments.

√(M2major
  +  
M2minor)
  /   
√(M2major,res
  +  
M2minor,res)
1.0

where

Mmajor
  =  
Moment about the major axis
Mminor
  =  
Moment about the minor axis
Mmajor,res
  =  
Moment of resistance about the major axis
Mminor,res
  =  
Moment of resistance about the minor axis
