Verification of Rectangular Cross Section Made of Plain Concrete

The cross-section is rectangular, loaded by the bending moment M, normal force N (applied in the cross-section centroid), and by the shear force Q. The cross-section bearing capacity subjected to bending moment is given by (Art. 5.2.5):

The shear strength is provided by (Art. 5.3.3, Appendix 9):

Strength of concrete cross-section subject to the combination of bending moment and normal force is derived from the following expressions depending on the normal force eccentricity e (Art. 5.2.5):

for:

The ultimate bearing capacity is checked using the following formula (Art. 5.2.5.5):

Interaction diagram N-M

Usage ratio of concrete cross-section subject to the combination of bending moment and normal force is determined as |0L| / |0R1| or |1L| / |1R2|. Where L is load, R1 is strength with prescribed eccentricity, and R2 is strength with prescribed normal force.
