Rectangular column interaction diagrams for uniaxial bending

Location at base

The calculation produces a column interaction diagram and tabular

results for axial load and uniaxial bending on a rectangular section.
The analysis is in accordance with Departmental Standard BD 44/95
" Assessment of Concrete Highway Bridges and Structures ". The method
is that described in Clause 5.5.3.2 with the stresses in the concrete
in compression derived from the stress-strain curve in Figure 1.
The axial force is assumed to act at the centroid of the gross
concrete section.
Clauses are referenced to Appendix A of BD 44/95 unless otherwise noted.
