Verification of Circular RC Cross Section
The program verifies a reinforced concrete pile using the method of limit deformation (Art. 22.2). The maximum allowable strain of concrete in compression is 0,003. The degree of reinforcement is checked using the formula:
![]()
- Column - check for dominant compression (Art. 10.6.1)
![]()
![]()
![]()
- Beam - check for dominant bending (Art. 9.6.1.2)
![]()

where: | Dp | - | pile diameter |
As | - | reinforcement area |
Interaction diagram N-M
Usage ratio of concrete cross-section subject to the combination of bending moment and normal force is determined as |0L| / |0R|. Where L is load and R is strength with prescribed eccentricity.
Shear
First, the program computes the ultimate shear strength of concrete Vc (Art. 22.5.5.1).
![]()
If the ultimate shear strength of concrete is exceeded, the ultimate shear strength Vmax and strength of reinforced section Vs are checked (Art. 22.5.8.5.3).
