Executive Summary
The purpose of this report is to outline the design approach and philosophy
of the KPI Tower located in Bangkok, Thailand. The KPI Tower is a 24 story high
rise building, estimated at a height of 296 ft., the KPI Tower includes 9 levels
designated for parking space (levels 2-9), a lobby (level 1), 1 levels for
mechanical equipment (Level 10), and 13 levels of typical office floors for office
space (levels 11-24).
1 Design Philosophy and Approach
The building was designed as an entirely reinforced concrete structure,
with an entire glass facade of curtain wall. This design was proposed as dictated
by the governing codes: Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other
Structures (ASCE 7-10) and Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete
and Commentary (ACI 318-11).

3.2 Geotechnical Conditions
The KPI Tower stands on soft Bangkok clay, this type of clay has been well known
for its high water content, low shear strength and high compressibility. For
construction a high rise building on such clay, the main geotechnical concern are
excessive settlement and potential stability failures. In order to address such
concerns, the KPI Tower foundation has been designed as a deep foundation
consisting of a matt footing1.

3.3 Car Parking Deck
The Design for the KPI tower includes a 9-level parking deck sufficient to
accommodate 256 2 standard size vehicles. The slabs types corresponding to the
parking deck are designed to carry a dead
load of 100 lbsft2 , a super imposed load of 10 lbs
ft2 and a live load of 40 psf. As per
ASCE-7, the combined factored loads yield 196 lbsft2 3.
3.4 Office Floors
Levels 11 through 24 are all designated to office space. As per ASCE-7, office
floors required to withstand an equal dead load and live load of 75 psf. This
loading takes into consideration the dead weight of office machinery, furniture
and the live weight of people operating those floors. As per ASCE-7, the
combined factored loads yield 210 lbsft2 for the office floor slab4.
3.5 Stairs
The stair case for the KPI Tower runs from the ground floor to the 9th level of the
parking deck with a total of 16 landing slabs.

RADY ENGINEERING KPI Tower Structural Design
Level 10 of the KPI Tower is entirely dedicated to equipment space, placing the
mechanical equipment room on higher leveled floors is very common among
high-rise buildings such as this. The mechanical equipment floor is designed to
accommodate conditioning, electrical, chiller plants, water pumps, and so on.
The loading combination used for this floor are equal to the office floors above.
The loading combination proved to be conservative and adequate for the
mechanical room
4 Structural Design
4.1 Roof Design
The roof was designed using 1 way slab principles, just as the rest of the building was done. There
are 2 types of critical slab loading for the roof, which we will distinguish by slab types A and B.
Type A runs West-East along the roof floor plan, and has a maximum span distance of 13.6 feet.
Type B is the critical cantilever section of the roof, which has a span distance of 9.8 feet.
Loading conditions were determined to be:
Self-weight of an 8” slab: 8”/12” x 150lbsft2 is equal to 100
lbsft2
Live Load of the Roof:
Issue 16 December 2014
RADY ENGINEERING KPI Tower Structural Design
** There will be slots 1ft up from the parapet, which will allow any water greater than 1 foot to drain
off the sides should the drains get clogged. With this arrangement in mind, the maximum amount of
water that the roof would need to support would be 62.4 lbsft2
Roof Live Load: We used 100lbsft2 to account for the live load on the roof, which exceeds the
governing roof load values set forth in IBC 1607.6 Helipads., which is 60lbsft2 .
Therefore the total factored load for roof slab type A is 1.2(100+62.4)+1.6(100) which is 355lbsft2
The ultimate moment was calculated to be Mu= 1/8(355)(13.6)2 which is equal to 8.2k-ft. Using our
excel calculator, we determined that an As of .26in2. However for simplicity, we will re-use the
typical slab type A, which has flexural steel of #4 bars at 6” total As is .4 in2 and S&T consisting of a
#4 at 18”.
For the cantilever section, the max moment was determined to be 17k-ft. Using our excel calculator,
the minimum As per 1 foot wide strip of the slab was determined to be .56 in2. Once again for
simplicity we will re-use the typical type B slab for the parking deck, which has flexural
reinforcement of #5 bars spaced at 4” a total As of .93in2. The S&T reinforcement will consist of #4
bars at 18” inches.

4.2 Floor Plan
Although the KPI Tower has 24 different levels, its floor plan can be condensed
into 13 types of floors:
FP 1- Level 1 Ground Floor (lobby)
FP 2- Levels 2-9 Parking Deck
FP 3- Level 10 Mechanical Equipment Floor
FP 4- Typical office floor levels 11-16
FP 5- Floor level 17
FP 6-Floor level 18
FP 7-Floor level 19
FP 8-Floor level 20
FP 9-Floor level 21
FP 10-Floor level 22
FP 11-Floor level 23
FP 12-Floor level 24
The ground floor lobby, parking deck, mechanical equipment floor, and typical
office floors and levels 17 through 24 each have a different floor plan layout. The
variety of floors in due to the structure’s design, especially where the structure
tapers in from levels 17 through 24.

4.3 Concrete Slab
For the reinforced slab design of the KPI Tower, 3 different types of concrete
slabs were proposed. Each slab, Type A, B, C was specifically design to meet the
specifications required as per each floor type. Starting with the parking deck, a
type A (non cantilever slab) and type B, a cantilever section were designed.
Following the same sequence, slab types A, B, and C were designed for floors 1,
and 10 through 24.
Parking Deck Slab Design Type A (Non-Cantilever)
As per ASCE-7 Table 4-1, a design live load of 40 lbsft2 was used. Design dead
loads include a superimposed 10 lbsft2 load to account for any traffic signage,
protective barriers or floor finishes that might be applied to the parking deck
structure in addition to the self-weight5.
Starting with an 8 inch slab, the slab-self weight was 100 lbsft2 the combined factor
loads as dictated by ASCE-7 were 196 lbsft2 . The Maximum moment yield was 4.5
kip-ft, with a required As (steel reinforcement area) of 0.151 in2 per 1 foot width.

Issue 16 December 2014

Check for shear capacity of concrete slab
The applied ultimate shear (Vu) was calculated as 1532.7 lbs per 1 foot width of
slab. The shear of concrete was calculated to be 11,879 lbs per with of slab. Phi x
Vc= 8909 pounds per foot width. Clearly the slab has adequate shear capacity.
Based on a rho value that is above rho min below rho max, we determined the
best As value to be .4 in2 per 1 ft. wide strip. Reinforcement for flexural strength
was selected as #4 bars (As=0.2) spaced at 6” O.C. With a total reinforcement
are of. 4 in2
Bar selection for Shrinkage and Temperature has resulted in #4 bars spaced at
18” O.C.
Parking Deck Slab Type B (Cantilever Section East-West)
The previously determined factored equivalent distributed load of 196 lbsft2 was
used as well as a 0.203 kip point load representing the weight of the curtain wall
on a 1 ft. wide strip, an ultimate moment of 20 kip-ft. was determined from
structural
Using our excel spreadsheet calculator, the required As was determined to be
0.672 in2 for each 1 ft. strip. Bar selection for flexural strength resulted in 4 #4
bars spaced at 3” O.C for a total area of steel of 0.80 in2 per 1 foot strip. Bar
selection for Shrinkage and Temperature resulted in #4 bars spaced at 18” O.C.
Typical Slab Type A Design Floors 11-16
Issue 16 December 2014
RADY ENGINEERING KPI Tower Structural Design
*Note: there are 3 types of slabs for floors 11-16, the primary slab going West-
East across the long span of the building (type A) as well as the cantilever slabs
that exist on the Western and Eastern ends of the building (Type C). The
cantilever slabs are designed for the critical distance away from the perimeter
beam, which is 10.1 ft. (3.1 m). The last type is the cantilever slab 11.48 ft. (3.5
m) on the north face of the floor plan. This is referred to as type B.
Slab Type A design
Choosing 6 inches as a starting slab thickness, the slab self-weight was
determined to be 75 psf. 6. The curtain wall (facade material) was calculated as a
dead load of 203 psf. As per ASCE-7, the combined factored loads were
calculated as 210 psf. ACI moment coefficients for critical values were used to
calculate a maximum moment of 4.0 kip-ft. This was determined to be a tension
controlled section with an area of reinforcement of 0.13 ¿2
ft .
Check for shear capacity of concrete slab
The ultimate shear, was calculated as 3,284 lbs per foot of slab width, similarly
concrete shear was calculated as 7,212 lbs per slab width as well. Since the
factored shear that the concrete can handle is larger than the ultimate shear the
concrete will experience the reinforcement area was designed with 3 #5 bars,

with a total area of 0.93 in2. This done to ensure that our reinforcement ratio was
well above the minimum, while remaining below the maximum reinforcement
ratio. With this area of reinforcement, Mn was calculated to be 19.4 kip-ft., much
greater than the maximum moment of 15.5 Kip-ft., as it was determined from
the structural analysis. Therefore 3 #5 bars are adequate for the slab.

Using the already determined ultimate factored distributed load of 210 lbsft2 and a
point load of 203 pounds from the curtain wall. The length of this cantilever
section was taken to be 8.5 feet.
Using structural analysis software, the ultimate moment was determined to be -
16.2 kip-ft.
Using our excel calculator, the required as per foot of slab was determined to be
0.86 in2.

3 #5 bars using 4” of spacing flexural strength yields an As of .93 in2 and
this exceeds the spacing requirements set forth in ACI 7.6.5.

Using the factored distributed load of 210 lbsft2 and a point load of 203 lbs as it was
previously discussed for the slab type C.
The critical length taken for this analysis was 10.2 feet (3.1 meters). Using
structural analysis software, the ultimate moment was determined to be 15kip-ft,
the required As per foot of slab was determined to be 0.5 in2.
3 # 5 bars using 4” O.C spacing for flexural strength yields an As of 0.93 in2 and
this exceeds the spacing requirements set forth in ACI 7.6.5.

Slab Design for floors 17 through 24
Issue 16 December 2014
RADY ENGINEERING KPI Tower Structural Design
Each slab type previously designed (Types A, B, and C for floors 10-16) have
been checked with the beam layout and floor plans to work with floors 17-24.
For floors 17-24 there is the typical type A slab which spans East-West. Since
the horizontal lengths that the slab spans did not change over the course of the
upper floors, the design conducted for floors 10-16 will also work.
The design for type A can be found below
Slab Type A: 3 # 5 bars therefore the area of steel is .93 in2 per 1 foot strip for
flexural reinforcement.
Shrinkage and Temperature #4 bars @ 12” O.C
For floors 17-24 there is the typical type B slab which is a cantilever slab on the
north part of the floor plan. Its length is approximately 8.5 feet. This is the same
as the previously designed floors therefore:
Slab Type B: 3 #5 bars using 4” spacing As is equal to .93 in2 per 1 foot strip for
flexural reinforcement.
Shrinkage and Temperature #4 bars @ 12” O.C
For floors 17-24 there is the typical type C slab which is a cantilever slab on the
East West parts of the floor plan. Its length is approximately 10.2 feet. The
same design for this cantilever section conducted for 10-16 will also be
applicable here.
Issue 16 December 2014
RADY ENGINEERING KPI Tower Structural Design
Slab Type C: 3 #5 bars using 4” O.C spacing As is equal to of .93 inches per 1 foot
strip for flexural reinforcement and this exceeds the spacing requirements set
forth in ACI 7.6.5.
Shrinkage and Temperature # 4 bars at 12 inches O.C
The ρ values for the slab conditions are (.93in2)/ (12”x4.625”) = .01675 or
1.675%. This falls within the acceptable range of ρ min (.35%) and ρ max
(2.52%) for flexure.
4.4 Beams
The beam design for the KPI Tower was based upon an excel sheet designed to
generates the maximum moment (k-ft.) 7 and area of steel reinforcement (in)
required based on given beam dimensions “b x d (in)”. The criteria established to
generate this were the following:
d = 2*b
h – d = 4
ρ = 2%
φ = 0.9
ω=ρ F ' yF ' c
Mu=φ (F ' c ×ω (1−0.59 ω) ) (b× d2 )

RADY ENGINEERING KPI Tower Structural Design
The next step in beam design was to lay out the beams on each floor in order to
determine the critical beam. The beam section determined to satisfy the critical
beam for a floor was used in order to design the majority of the beams on that
specific floor. We did this for both vertical and horizontal beams (x-z plane). For
most cases, the slab design was the same, so for many floors the beam size was
the same as well. For floors 1-9 we used B-1 as our vertical beam design because
it is supporting a cantilever in addition to the slab, and B-12 as our horizontal
beam design (these beam numbers our based on floor 2). RISA was used in order
to determine the ultimate moment capacity for each critical beam.

Issue 16 December 2014
RADY ENGINEERING KPI Tower Structural Design
This beam (B-1) is two spans beam with a length of approximately 7 feet, with a
continued loading of 4.61. The maximum moment found was 473.3 k-ft., the
beam chosen was a 14x28 that has a maximum moment of 731.09 k-ft. (over
designed). For the horizontal beam, the max moment of the beam was
determined to be a 716.6 k-ft. normally, the 14 x 28 beam would be adequate,
but after over design, the beam used was a 15 x 30 with a maximum moment of
899.21 k-ft.
Issue 16 December 2014
RADY ENGINEERING KPI Tower Structural Design
Floors 10-24 were established to have the same slab weight and also fit the
criteria of the vertical beam being a 14x28 and the horizontal beam being a
15x30 as shown with a sample of the horizontal beam from floor 11:
9
The loading for this beam was 8.62kipft with two 16 kip point loads giving a
maximum moment of 762.4 k-ft. This allowed the 15x30 beam to be adequate
for the design. The same loading conditions applied for the vertical beam where
the maximum moment was to be 499 kip-ft. making the 14x28 adequate for that 9 Structural analysis for critical beam B-1 obtained from RISA for floors 10-24

design. The one issue that arose with using these two beam types for every floor
was the building getting narrower in the vertical direction. The columns get
closer so in order to deal with this, the beams on each floor had to become
transfer beams and be able to hold the weight the columns were holding. An
estimate was taken off of an extremely large point load of 2000 kip-in addition to
the normal loading conditions placed near the column supports.
The maximum moment depicted was 2390.7 kip-ft. Transfer beams were
required at floor 17 (they were required from 18 upward though) the geometric
section for transfer beams

was determined to be a 22x44 beam with a maximum moment of 2836.96 k-ft.
After analyzing each of the remaining floors, we noticed that each moment
decreased by around 200 k-ft., so the beam sections decreased for each
remaining floor.
Floor 18 21x42 M = 2467.42 k-ft
Floor 19 20x40 M = 2131.45 k-ft
Floor 20 19x38 M = 1827.45 k-ft
Floor 21 18x36 M = 1553.83 k-ft
Floors 22-23 17x34 M = 1308.98 k-ft
Floor 24 did not require the transfer beam
These beams were placed only in between columns that moved closer together,
thus the horizontal beam design did not change.
Note that transfer beams were also required on floor 10 in replace of B-21 and B-
22. The beam size used is a 22x44 beam with a maximum moment of 2836.96 k-
ft. This was used in order to carry the weight of the stair columns which end on
floor 10 and must be transferred on onto other columns.
Issue 16 December 2014
RADY ENGINEERING KPI Tower Structural Design
4.5 Columns
For the 24 story building, the columns were divided into 5 sections, each with 3
types of columns. These sections were based upon similar beam layout. For each
section, the lowest floor columns were be designed, then applied to the floors
above it. This ensured that the upper floors would have extra support if needed
and keep the column design more simplistic. The floor loading capacities were
based on the floor in which the columns are being designed for. For example, for
section 18-23, the columns designed for floors 18 through 23.
The column sections were determined for the following floors
Floor 1 columns
Floors 2-9 columns
Floors 10-17 columns
Floors 18-23 columns
Floor 24 columns
These 3 types of columns are:
C-A for the exterior columns that follow the perimeter of each floor.
C-B for the interior columns, basically all columns within the perimeter set up by
the exterior columns C-A.
Issue 16 December 2014
RADY ENGINEERING KPI Tower Structural Design
C-C fort the two columns used to support the stairs. C-C columns are smaller
than C-A and C-B.
For each of these column types, on the floor section used a critical column was
determined and designed for. The critical column supports the most weight for
that type and, the geometric section that satisfied the loading conditions of the
critical column was applied to every column for that type in this section. The
columns used for section C-A were determined to be C-7 for floors 1 through 9
since these supported the cantilever section and C-9 from floor 10 to 24, For
type C-B, the columns used C-3 for floors 1 through 9 (due to the fact the stair
columns C-C end and are transferred onto C-3 and C-4 by transfer beams) and C-
10 for floors 10 through 24. For C-C column C-4 was used from floors 10-24
which are the only floors that contain these stair columns.
4.6 Stairs
4.7 Foundations
The foundation for the KPI Tower was designed as a matt foundation sitting on
reinforced concrete pile. It was determined that 38 reinforced concrete piles are
needed in order to support the loading imposed by the structure. The piles were
designed to be 2.6 ft. in diameter and 174 ft. in length.

5 Conclusion and Recommendations
The structural design for the KPI Tower was made simple by identifying each
critical section and developing a design that would satisfy that specific section.
Once the final design was developed, it was applied to similar members. This
“critical section approach” allowed for a very conservative design. All of the
design members were in accordance with ACI-318 for reinforced concrete as well
and ASCE-7 for loading combinations.
This project was challenging in many aspects; Beginning from the foundation
since the properties of Bangkok clay are unfavorable for most developments.
Due to this condition the KPI Tower foundation was designed as a reinforced
concrete matt foundation sitting on 34-2.6 ft. wide reinforced piles, driven 174 ft.
into the clay soil.
Issue 16 December 2014
RADY ENGINEERING KPI Tower Structural Design
Other challenges came from the building’s structural aspect, the developing of
cantilever beams and slabs in order to accommodate the building’s architectural
design.
The design of the KPI Tower was very complex, requiring that we revisit aspects
of Reinforced
Concrete Design in beams and columns, Deep Foundations Design in clay as well
as exposing us so new design approaches, such as cantilever slabs and beams.
Although we are not ready to design such a high-rise building like the KPI Tower,
we now have a better understanding on how these building are design, and what
are some of the challenges that we may face in the future.
6 Self-Learning
As this semester comes to an end, it is time to reflect on the things we have learned thus far. This
challenging project required that we utilize every resource available in our reach; our professors,
books, publications and engineering software.
Among these resources we had access to publications from the American Institute of Concrete
Commentary on Building Code Requirements for Reinforced Concrete (ACI 318-63) as well as the
American Society of Civil Engineers ASCE 7-10 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other
Structures. This project allowed us to familiarize ourselves with design codes that mandate every

structure in the United States as well as in many parts of the world. Learning how to interpret such
codes is very important in our professional careers. We must always be aware that the welfare of the
people depends on the choices that we, as Civil Engineers, make. It is ethically and morally important
that we follow and comply with these codes to the absolute best of our abilities.
This design project also required the extensive use of computer programs, among these were:
AutoCAD and REVIT for structural drawings, and RISA for structural analysis and design. Gaining
experience in these programs is highly important to become qualified and competent in our field.
Knowing how to use these programs allows us to perform complicated design in a much more
efficient way. Although these are just a few of the things we have learned at the moment, most of our
learning will be reflected once we practice in the field when we are challenged with a real life
problem that we must solve. One of the lessons that we must take away is the ability to use our
resources, and even if we don’t know something at the moment, it is important to know where to find
it.

8.2 Appendix B: Slab Design Calculations
Parking Deck Slab Design Type A (Non-Cantilever)
8” slab starting point:
d=8”-.75”cc-.25”= 7”
Slab self-weight= 8”/(12”/1ft) x150 lb./ft3 = 100 lb./ft2
Factored Load combinations:
1.2(100+10)+1.6(40)= 196 lb./ft2
Mu=(196)(13.6ft)2/8 = 4.5 k-ft.
Using our excel spreadsheet calculator, the required As was determined to
be .151 in2 per 1 foot width.
Check for shear capacity of concrete slab:
Vu= 1.15(196 lb. /ft2) (13.6ft)/2 = 1532.7 pounds per 1 ft. width of slab.
VC=2(1) (12”) (7”) =11,879 pounds per 1 ft. width of slab.
φ Vc= 8909 pounds per foot width. Clearly the slab has adequate shear
capacity.
Keeping a tension reinforcement value that is above ρmin below ρmax, we
determined the best
as value to be .4 in2 per 1 ft. wide strip.
Bar selection for flexure has resulted in #4 bars (As=.2) spaced at 6”
O.C. Total As is now .4 in2
Issue 16 December 2014
RADY ENGINEERING KPI Tower Structural Design
Bar selection for Shrinkage and Temperature has resulted in #4 bars
spaced at 18” O.C.
Slab type A
Floor slab thickness starting point chosen as 6” thick.
Using (#5 bars) determined later in the design,
the d=6”-.625”-.75”=4.625”.
Slab self-weight is 6”/12”*150 lb/ft^3 = 75 lb/ft^2
**Curtain Wall weight will be located along the perimeter of the slab, however it
will be transferred directly to the beam underlying it.
Curtain wall weight calculations for beam design (include as a dead load): curtain
wall critical length= 8.3 meters, which is 27.2 feet.
Critical height is 3.8 meters which is 12.46 feet.
Glass thickness estimated to be 1.5” thick, which is .125 feet. Unit weight of
glass taken to be 130 lb/ft^3. (27.23)(23.46)(.125)=42.41 ft^3 of glass x 130
lb/ft^3= 5513 pounds.
Taking this weight and dividing it over the area of 27.2 feet yields the curtain
wall dead load of 203 lbs/ft.

Live Load of 75 pounds per square foot for office building design as per ASCE 7
Table 4-1. Dead Load of slab is 75lb/ft^2
Factored 1.2D+1.6L= 1.2x (75)+1.6x(75)=210 psf.
ACI Moment coefficients critical value of -1/10, to determine the moment value.
Mu is -1[(210) x (1’) x (13.6)2/10] is roughly 4 k-ft.
As > (4x12”/ft)/(.9x60x.95x4.625) which is .20 in2 per foot.
a= (.20)(60)/(.85x5x12) which equals .15 inches.
Another iteration to determine a more accurate As value
As = (4*12)/(.9*60)(4.625-.15) which equals .13 square inches per foot.
Check tension controlled: 3/8 of d is 1.73” c (a/beta)=(.15/.8) is significantly
lower than 1.73, therefore tension controls and phi is correctly assumed to be
0.9.
Shear Design for Slab
Vu= (1.15wuln) /2 yields (1.15x210x27.2)/2 is equal to 3,284 lbs per 1ft width of
slab.
Vc= 2(1)(sqrt(5000)(12)(4.25) which is equal to 7,212lbs per 1 ft width of the
slab.
Phi is .75 so Phi Vc is equal to 5,409lbs.
The factored shear that the concrete can handle is larger than the ultimate shear
the concrete will experience. This done to ensure that our reinforcement ratio

reinforcement ratio.
Mn (.93)(60)[4.625-.45] which is 19.41 k-ft, where the moment determined to be
max from structural analysis is 15.5 k-ft. Therefore 3 #5 bars will work.
ACI spacing requirements As min is .0018x12x6 is .129 in2/ft
ACI 7.6.5 spacing requirements 3h is 18 inches or 18 inches.
Spacing required to get the 0.93 inches per foot is 3 #5 bars per 12” or 4”

The critical length taken for this analysis was 10.2 feet, or 3.1 meters.
Using structural analysis software, the ultimate moment was determined to be –
15k-ft or 180 k-inches.
Using excel, the required As per foot of slab was determined to be .5 square
inches.
3 # 5 bars using 4” O.C spacing for flexural yields an As of .93 inches

8.4 Appendix D: Columns
In order to calculate the area of concrete for the column (Ac) the equations
The loading on the columns is due to:
The live load
The slab self-weight
The beam self-weight
The column self-weight
For floors 18-23, transfer beams are required in order to support the weight of
the columns since the columns get closer as the floors go higher. These transfer
beams vary in size depending on the floor and are only located in between the
first and last row columns
Transfer beams are also required on Floor 10. The columns that support the
stairs end so the beam will transfer to C-A columns below it.
The excel chart is split into several sections

• “Previous Floor Weight” represents the total weight of the floors above.
• “Estimated Weight per floor” is based on the critical floor’s weight
determined by live load, slab self-weight, and beam self-weight. This is
multiplied by as many floors there are in the section to get a rough
estimate of the total weight of floors in the section. The first floor in the
section is not included since it is below the columns of that floor. Thus that
floor is added to the next section.
• “Column Weight” is the self-weight of the critical column. This is multiplied
by the amount of floors in this section in order to include the columns
directly above it.
• “Total Pu” is the ultimate load. This is the combination of the “previous
floor weight” the “Estimated weight per floor” multiplied by the correct
amount of floors, and the “column weight” multiplied by the columns
directly above each other in this section.
• “Area of Concrete” is the calculated area of concrete.
“Gross Area” is the total area of the section.
“Area of Steel” is the area of steel required based off 0.3% rho.
“Bars required” what size bars are needed for the column.
“Area of Steel required” is what the area of steel of those bars are.
