Composite Column Design in ETABS

This document summarizes an analysis performed in ETABS to verify composite column design based on AISC-360-10 examples. The analysis examined a 14-foot long filled composite member under dead and wind loads. ETABS results for required strength and available strength matched the independent calculations to within 0.12% or less, validating ETABS' modeling of composite column tension capacity. Hand calculations were also shown and matched the independent reference.

HAND CALCULATION

Properties:
Materials:
ASTM A500 Grade B Steel
E = 29,000 ksi, Fy = 46 ksi, Fu = 58 ksi
5000 psi normal weight concrete
Ec = 3,900 ksi, f c′ = 5 ksi, wconcrete = 145 pcf

Steel section dimensions:


HSS10x6x⅜
H = 10.0 in, B = 6.00 in, t = 0.349 in, As = 10.4 in2

Design for Tension:

Required Compressive Strength:


The required compressive strength is (taking compression as negative and tension as
positive):
Pu = 0.9 • PD + 1.0 • PW = 0.9 • (−32.0) + 1.0 • 100.0 = 71.2 kips

Available Tensile Strength:


ΦPn =Φ ( As • Fy + Asr • Fysr ) =0.9(10.4 • 46 + 0 • 60) =430 kips
