Column Flexural Strength

• Flexural strength is provided based on:
• Required moment capacities for FBM (i.e. R-based
forces)
• Non-seismic load cases and minimum strengths for
DBM
• Flexure is typically the designated yielding/ductile
element
• Detailing provides for
• Confinement of plastic hinge zones
• Restrictions on lap and other splicing techniques
• Adequate shear strength of columns and joints
• Anchorage of reinforcement (both longitudinal and
transverse) 11-5
Wall-Type Piers
• Wall piers - clear height-to-width ratio < 2.5
• Flared columns width - minimum section
• Wall piers designed as:
• Columns in weak direction - walls are ductile in this
direction
• Walls in strong direction - typically shear-controlled
or foundation-controlled (i.e. weak link) in this
direction
• Skewed walls can have significant
longitudinal/transverse coupling due to
stiffness difference in pier directions

Plastic Shear Force Demand

STEP 1: Determine the overstrength moment
capacity based on non-seismic axial forces
STEP 2: Determine the corresponding plastic
shear force
STEP 3: Determine the total shear force in the
pier and corresponding overturning axial forces
in multi-column pier
STEP 4: Determine revised overstrength
moments and plastic shears corresponding to
newly calculated axial forces. Cycle back to
step 3 until shear force is within 10% of
previous value.

Recall that pier displacement ductility capacity 3.2, and
since column B yielded last and controlled, its ductility
capacity = 3-2.
No demand has been calculated for this pier;, thus assume

that the full ductility capacity is utilized, making the ductility

demand, µ 0 3.2.
Since column A yielded at almost the same time as B, the

column A ductility can also be taken as 3.2. 11-25

Summary of Shear Design
• #4 spiral must be tightened from a 6 in.

spacing to a 3.5 in. spacing for shear
• #4 spiral at 6 in. spacing is adequate for
flexural ductility and confinement, but not for
shear
• As with displacement capacity, column B
controls
• Concrete supplies about 50°/o of shear
resistance

Limiting Principal Stresses

• Joints should be proportioned such that the
principal tension is:::; 0.38 "'1f'c (12 ..Jf'c in psi) and
the principal compression is :::; 0.25 f c·
• If Pt@0.11 .,,/fc (3.5 --./fc in psi), then joint
transverse steel, p5 , should at least be 0.11 ..Jf'c/fyh.
• If p@0.11 .,,/fc• then Ps ~ 0.40 Ast/1ac2 , which

depends on the development length of the tensile
steel.
• Additional beam transverse steel is used around

the column joint region - discussed in Lesson 17.
11-40
Detailing Requirements
Joint zones
In joint zones:
1. Anchor bars with hooks

turned inward, if possible -
some bars.
2. Anchor bars as close to
horizontal
3. steel as possible.
4. Continue transverse steel
into joint
5. Add prescriptive bars in
beams as required in GS. 11-41
Capacity Design Requirement

• Capacity protection is required for all members
that are not participating as part of the energy
dissipating system
• Capacity protected members include:
- Superstructures
- Joints and cap beams
- Spread footings
- Pile caps
- Foundations
These will be discussed in the next lessons.

11-42
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this lesson you will be
able to:
• Develop the design overstrength forces for a
column
• Design columns for shear
• Design joints for shear
