    RCDC Failure Keys

    Uploaded by

    Bob Renaux
    The document asks how to determine the failure calculation of a column in failure diagnostic. The response explains that failure diagnostic in RCDC provides the reason for failure and there are multiple types of potential column failures it can identify. These include: axial failure if stress exceeds limits; joint flexure failure if beam capacity exceeds column; joint shear failure if limits are exceeded; and detailing failure if maximum rebar is used. The calculations for each are explained.

    report. There
    are multiple
        type of Failure
    suggested by
    RCDC as follows:

    1. Axial Failure -  When the Average Stress in Column (Pu / Ag) for Pumax from seismic Load
    Combination exceeds 0.4 fck, then there is Axial Failure. 

     This can be tackled by either Increasing the Column Size or by Increasing the Grade
    of Concrete. As both these parameters are set by user, RCDC cannot modify these
    parameters and shows as a Failure condition.

    2. Joint Flexure Failure - As per Clause 7.2 (IS:13920-2016), for a considered Beam Column
    Junction, when the Column Capacity is found to be Less the 1.4 Beam Capacity (considering
    all the beams at the joint), then there is Joint Flexure Failure. 

     In this case, RCDC tries to increase the Ast provided for Column up to Maximum Pt
    considering the Max Diameter - Min spacing parameters that are set in RCDC. If still
    there is failure after increasing the Pt, then RCDC shows it as Failure only. 

     You can handle this by either increasing the Column sizing or by controlling the
    moments in beam by providing some partial releases in beam or by decreasing the
    beam sizing to control the stiffness.
    3. Joint Shear Failure - As per Clause 9.1 (IS 13920-2016), the Nominal shear strength of
    concrete in the Beam - Column Joint is checked as mentioned in the code. Below image for
    reference:

     This check depends on the Beam-Column Joint area and the Concrete Grade. So, this
    can be tackled by either Increasing the Column Size or by Increasing the Grade of
    Concrete. As, RCDC cannot modify both these parameters it is shown as a Failure
    condition.

    4. Detailing Failure - This type of Failure occurs in RCDC when the 'Maximum Diameter' and
    'Maximum allowable bars' for a column section is provided and still with this configuration of
    Pt provided is less than the Max Pt allowed. 

     In this case RCDC has already tried to reach the maximum possible diameter and
    number of bars. So, this can be further handled from user's end by allowing the
    Maximum diameter available in the list and / or increasing the Number of Bars for
    the column section. The number of bars for column section can be increased from
    the Zone & Rebar settings in RCDC. 

    5. Rupture Failure - Modulus of rupture check is performed as per clause 6.2.2 of IS 456-2002.
    The option of performing this check is available in RCDC as per user’s choice. This check is
    performed only for the tensile axial force in the column against the tensile capacity of the
    column. Effect of moment is not considered as this check is for tensile strength of concrete. If
    the axial tension is more than 0.7xsqrt(fck) then RCDC shows the column failure. It is just a
    check performed in the RCDC, there is no impact on the final design of the column.

     In this case, the check is performed only when user selects to perform this check and
    there is tension in the column.
