AS3600-2018 Concrete Column
A calculation to perform design checks of concrete sections according to AS3600-2018.
Circular and rectangular sections with symmetrical reinforcement are implemented.

Design Assumptions
1. Bending is about horizontal X-axis.
2. Slender columns are considered to be braced for moment magnification (Clause 10.4.2 AS3600-2018).
3. The column is bent in single curvature, end moments M*1/M*2 ratio is taken as -1 (Clause 10.3.1 AS3600-2018).
4. Strength is determined using the rectangular stress block (Clause 10.6.2 AS3600-2018).
5. Concrete cover is to the face of longitudinal reinforcement.
