Methodology for calculating the ultimate longitudinal force from an excentric external load acting on compressed reinforced concrete element
Incoming article date: 17.04.2024The article addresses the issue of determining the ultimate eccentric compressive longitudinal force from an external load acting on a compressed reinforced concrete element. The calculation assumptions are adopted in accordance with the current code of practice SP 63.13330.2018. The transformation of the initial formulas given in this code allowed the explicit solution of the cubic equation with respect to the compressive longitudinal force without the need for iterative calculation methods. The solution thus obtained can be employed in the design process to determine the optimal section dimensions.
