ETABS Composite Column Design

This document summarizes the verification of composite column design in ETABS software. It describes a test case of a 14-foot long hollow structural steel (HSS) column filled with concrete under axial and moment loads. ETABS was used to analyze the column and determine its required and available strengths for compression and bending. The results matched independent hand calculations within 0% difference, verifying the accuracy of ETABS for this composite column design feature.

COMPOSITE COLUMN DESIGN

EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
Determine if the 14-ft.-long filled composite member illustrated below is
adequate for the indicated axial forces, shears, and moments. The composite
member consists of an ASTM A500 Grade C HSS with normal weight (145
lb/ft3) concrete fill having a specified compressive strength, f c′ = 5 ksi.
