Select the type of section (Circular, squared, or rectangular section with rebars at two sides only or distributed on the four sides.

The program suggests an arrangement of ties and calculates the distance between rebars.

KaderColumn 1.1

It deals with tied short columns. It designs columns subjected to up to six cases of loading consisted of axial load and bending moment applied about the maximum principle axis. The program constructs the column strength interaction diagram (Bending moment-Axial load curve and check if all input cases of loading being within the design curve. If the input data of the cross-section is not sufficient the program increases them starting from the Min. Roh to the cross-sectional dimensions until all input cases of loading being within the design curve. The program suggests an arrangement of ties and draws them. US and Metric units are used.
