EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
The Demand/Capacity ratio for a given axial loading and moment is tested in this
example. The wall is reinforced as shown below. The concrete core wall is
loaded with a factored axial load Pu = 10165 kN and moments Mu3 = 11430 kN-
m. The design capacity ratio is checked by hand calculations and results are
compared with ETABS 2013 program results.
RESULTS COMPARISON
Independent results are hand calculated and compared with ETABS 2013 design
check.

5) Assuming the extreme fiber strain equals 0.003 and c = 1413 mm, the steel stresses
and strains can be calculated. When the bar strain exceeds the yield strain then,

Substituting in Eqn. 1 and 2 and iterating the value of the neutral axis depth until the
two equations are equal give
