Properties of circular (or tubular) concrete cross-section
The following geometric properties are obtained from basic theory of mechanics:
Area of gross cross-section: A = 1.4314 m2
Second moment of the area of gross cross-section: I = 0.163044 m4
Total height of cross-section: h = 1.350 m
Location of centroid of gross cross-section (from top): zcm = 0.675 m
Total area of longitudinal reinforcement: As,tot = 175.58 cm2
Geometric reinforcement ratio: ρl = As,tot / A = 0.0123 = 1.23 %
Mechanical reinforcement ratio: ω = ρl ⋅ fyd / fcd = 0.2133
Compressive axial force resistance: NRd,compression = -34735.02 kN
Tensile axial force resistance: NRd,tension = 6107.26 kN
