Verification of circular RC cross-section

The program verifies a reinforced concrete pile using the method of limit deformation. The maximum allowable strain of concrete in compression is 0,002 - 0.0035. Concrete strength η*fcd  is reduced by ten percent due to shape of cross-section (Art. 3.1.7).

The degree of reinforcement is checked using the formula:

where: d - pile diameter
As - cross sectional area of reinforcement

Standard values of coefficientsρmin, ρmax are built-in the program – these values can also be inputted by the user depending on the selected National supplement.
