Interaction diagrams for pier reinforcement design
Abstract
The analysis of the area in which pier design according to Ehlers can be applied is presented, and the resulting interaction diagrams are compared with the so called traditional diagrams. Eurocode 2 requirements concerning minimum and maximum reinforcement are applied. The attention is drawn to the bending moment and compressive force action in cases when Ehlers procedure results in an inadequate reinforcement. Allowable interaction diagram areas are defined according to Eurocode 8, taking into account limitations with respect to the value of compressive force.
