Introduction
Overview
SAP2000 features powerful and completely integrated modules for design of both
steel and reinforced concrete structures (CSI 1997a, 1997b). The program provides
the user with options to create, modify, analyze and design structural models, all
from within the same user interface.
The program provides an interactive environment in which the user can study the
stress conditions, make appropriate changes, such as member size revisions, and
update the design without re-analyzing the structure. A single mouse click on an
element brings up detailed design information. Members can be grouped together
for design purposes. The output in both graphical and tabulated formats can be
readily displayed and printed.
The program is structured to support a wide variety of design codes for the automated design and check of concrete frame members. The program currently supports the following design codes: U.S. (ACI 1995), Canadian (CSA 1984), British
(BSI 1985), and European (CEN 1992).
The design is based upon a set of user-specified loading combinations. However,
the program provides a set of default load combinations for each design code supported in SAP2000. If the default load combinations are acceptable, no definition of
additional load combinations are required.

Quick Tutorial
Overview
Several of the basic features of the SAP2000 concrete design modules are explored
in this tutorial. This introduction is aimed at giving the first time user hands-on experience for designing concrete frames with SAP2000. The program allows you to
select from several U.S. and international codes to design and review concrete
structures. A comprehensive on-line Help is included in the program for your quick
reference. It is assumed that you have a working knowledge of concrete design procedures and are reasonably familiar with the current codes of practice and their underlying design concepts.
We will access the SAP2000 commands from both the Toolbar and from the
menus. The Toolbar, however, provides quick access to most commonly used features available from the menus.
In the assignment sequence, there are two important points you must remember.
First, you have to define an entity before you can assign an attribute to it, and second, you have to select member(s) before you can assign new attributes or modify
old ones.

length for the various load combinations (see screen below). The dialog box
also can show information regarding the Details of calculation for design, the
element overwrite assignments for ReDesign for the selected member, and column Interaction properties. However, if the member is a beam, rather than a
column, the Interaction properties are not relevant and are not available from
the Concrete Design Information dialog box.

dialog box asking Updating Analysis Section will unlock model! OK to update?. Click OK.
From the Analyze menu, choose Run. This will immediately start the analysis
procedure. A top window is opened in which various phases of analysis are progressively displayed. The results will obviously differ from those produced in
the initial analysis because of the change of section properties we made in the
design stage. Click OK to close the top window.
Click on the Start Design/Check of Structures from the Design menu. This
will redesign the structure and display the new required longitudinal reinforcement.
You can see the difference after re-running the design based on the latest analysis
results.

C h a p t e r III
Design Algorithms
This chapter outlines various aspects of the concrete design and design-check procedures that are used by the SAP2000 program. The concrete design and check may
be performed in SAP2000 according to one of the following design codes:
The 1995 American Concrete Institute Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete, ACI 318-95 (ACI 1995).
The 1984 Canadian Standards Association Design of Concrete Structures for
Buildings, CAN3-A23.3-M.84 (CSA 1984).
The 1985 British Standards Institution Structural Use of Concrete, BS 8110,
(BSI 1985).
The 1992 European Committee for Standardization, Design of Concrete Structures, EUROCODE 2 (CEN 1992).
Details of the algorithms associated with each of these codes as implemented in
SAP2000 are described in the subsequent chapters. However, this chapter provides
a background which is common to all the design codes.
In writing this manual it has been assumed that the user has an engineering background in the general area of structural reinforced concrete design and familiarity
with at least one of the above mentioned design codes.

Design of Beams
In the design of concrete beams, in general, SAP2000 calculates and reports the required areas of steel for flexure and shear based upon the beam moments, shears,
load combination factors, and other criteria which are described in detail in the code
specific chapters. The reinforcement requirements are calculated at a user-defined
number of stations along the beam span.
All the beams are only designed for major direction flexure and shear. Effects due
to any axial forces, minor direction bending, and torsion that may exist in the beams
must be investigated independently by the user.
In designing the flexural reinforcement for the major moment at a particular section
of a particular beam, the steps involve the determination of the maximum factored
moments and the determination of the reinforcing steel. The beam section is designed for the maximum positive M and maximum negative M factored moment
envelopes obtained from all of the load combinations. Negative beam moments
produce top steel. In such cases the beam is always designed as a rectangular section. Positive beam moments produce bottom steel. In such cases the beam may be
designed as a rectangular- or a T-beam. For the design of flexural reinforcement,
the beam is first designed as a singly reinforced beam. If the beam section is not
adequate, then the required compression reinforcement is calculated.
+
In designing the shear reinforcement for a particular beam for a particular set of
loading combinations at a particular station due to the beam major shear, the steps
involve the determination of the factored shear force, the determination of the shear
force that can be resisted by concrete, and the determination of the reinforcement
steel required to carry the balance.
Special considerations for seismic design are incorporated in SAP2000 for ACI
318-95 and 1984 Canadian codes.
Design of Columns
In the design of the columns, the program calculates the required longitudinal steel,
or if the longitudinal steel is specified, the column stress condition is reported in
terms of a column capacity ratio, which is a factor that gives an indication of the
stress condition of the column with respect to the capacity of the column. The design procedure for the reinforced concrete columns of the structure involves the following steps:

P- Effects
The SAP2000 design algorithms require that the analysis results include the P- effects. The P- effects are considered differently for braced or nonsway and
unbraced or sway columns or frames. For the braced columns, the effect of P-
is limited to individual member stability. For unbraced frames, lateral drift effects should be considered in addition to individual member stability effect.
For the individual member stability effects, the moments are magnified with moment magnification factors as in the ACI and Canadian codes or with additional
moments as in the British and Eurocode codes.
For lateral drift effects of unbraced or sway frames, SAP2000 assumes that the amplification is already included in the results because P- effects are considered.
The moments and forces obtained from P- analysis are further amplified for individual column stability effect if required by the governing code as in the ACI and
Canadian codes.
The users of SAP2000 should be aware that the default analysis option in SAP2000
is turned OFF for P- effect. The user can turn the P- analysis ON and set the
maximum number of iterations for the analysis. The default number of iteration for
P- analysis is 1. For further reference, the user is referred to SAP2000 Reference
Manual (CSI 1997b).
The user is also cautioned that SAP2000 currently considers P- effects due to axial
loads in frame members only. Forces in other types of elements do not contribute to
this effect. If significant forces are present in other type of elements, for example,
huge axial loads in shear walls modeled as shell elements, then the additional forces
computed for P- will not be accurate.

Normally, the unsupported element length is equal to the length of the element, i.e.,
the distance between END-I and END-J of the element. See Figure III-4. The program, however, allows users to assign several elements to be treated as a single
member for design. This can be done differently for major and minor bending.

Column Design
The user may define the geometry of the reinforcing bar configuration of each concrete column section. If the area of reinforcing is provided by the user, the program
checks the column capacity. However, if the area of reinforcing is not provided by
the user, the program calculates the amount of reinforcing required for the column.
The design procedure for the reinforced concrete columns of the structure involves
the following steps:
Generate axial force-biaxial moment interaction surfaces for all of the different
concrete section types of the model. A typical biaxial interaction surface is
shown in Figure III-1. When the steel is undefined, the program generates the
interaction surfaces for the range of allowable reinforcement C 1 to 8 percent
for Ordinary and Intermediate moment resisting frames (ACI 10.9.1) and 1 to 6
percent for Special moment resisting frames (ACI 21.4.3.1).
Calculate the capacity ratio or the required reinforcing area for the factored axial force and biaxial (or uniaxial) bending moments obtained from each loading
combination at each station of the column. The target capacity ratio is taken as
one when calculating the required reinforcing area.
Design the column shear reinforcement.
The following three subsections describe in detail the algorithms associated with
the above-mentioned steps.

In the shear design of Special moment resisting frames (seismic design) the
following are checked in addition to the requirement for the ordinary moment
resisting frames. In the design of Special moment resisting concrete frames, the
design shear force in a column, V , in a particular direction is also calculated
from the probable moment capacities of the column associated with the factored axial force acting on the column.
u
For each load combination, the factored axial load, P , is calculated. Then, the
positive and negative moment capacities, M + and M , of the column in a particular direction under the influence of the axial force P is calculated using the
uniaxial interaction diagram in the corresponding direction. The design shear

resisting frames, except that is taken equal to 1 rather than 1.25. The factored

factors are doubled (ACI 21.8.3).

The column shear reinforcement requirements reported by the program are based
purely upon shear strength consideration. Any minimum stirrup requirements to
satisfy spacing considerations or transverse reinforcement volumetric considerations must be investigated independently of the program by the user.
Beam Design
In the design of concrete beams, SAP2000 calculates and reports the required areas
of steel for flexure and shear based upon the beam moments, shears, load combination factors, and other criteria described below. The reinforcement requirements
are calculated at a user defined number of check/design stations along the beam
span.
All the beams are only designed for major direction flexure and shear. Effects due
to any axial forces, minor direction bending, and torsion that may exist in the beams
must be investigated independently by the user.
The beam design procedure involves the following steps:
Design beam flexural reinforcement

Negative beam moments produce top steel. In such cases the beam is always designed as a rectangular section. Positive beam moments produce bottom steel. In
such cases the beam may be designed as a Rectangular- or a T-beam.

For Intermediate moment resisting concrete frames (seismic design), the beam design would satisfy the following conditions:
At any support of the beam, the beam positive moment capacity would not be

Neither the negative moment capacity nor the positive moment capacity at any

For Intermediate moment resisting frames, the design shear force in beams

factored shear force. The procedure for calculating nominal moment capacity
is the same as that for computing the probable moment capacity for Special moment resisting frames, except that is taken equal to 1 rather than 1.25. The
factored shear forces are based on the specified load factors except the earthquake load factors are doubled (ACI 21.8.3). The computation of the design
shear force in a beam of an Intermediate moment resisting frame, is also the
same as that for columns, which is described earlier on page 44. See also Table
IV-2 for details.

For Special moment resisting frame concrete design,V is set to zero if both the factored axial compressive force including the earthquake effect P is less than
f A / 20 and the shear force contribution from earthquake V is more than half of

In generating the above default loading combinations, the importance factor is

load is separately treated, other types of loads are present, or pattern live loads are
to be considered.
Live load reduction factors can be applied to the member forces of the live load case
on an element-by-element basis to reduce the contribution of the live load to the

Column Design
The user may define the geometry of the reinforcing bar configuration of each concrete column section. If the area of reinforcing is provided by the user, the program
checks the column capacity. However, if the area of reinforcing is not provided by
the user, the program calculates the amount of reinforcing required for the column.
The design procedure for the reinforced concrete columns of the structure involves
the following steps:
Generate axial force-biaxial moment interaction surfaces for all of the different
concrete section types of the model. A typical biaxial interaction surface is
shown in Figure III-1. When the steel is undefined, the program generates the
interaction surfaces for the range of allowable reinforcement 1 to 8 percent
for ordinary moment resisting frames (CAN 10.9.1 and CAN 10.9.2) and 1 to 6
percent for ductile moment resisting frames (CAN 21.4.3.1).
Calculate the capacity ratio or the required reinforcing area for the factored axial force and biaxial (or uniaxial) bending moments obtained from each loading
combination at each station of the column. The target capacity ratio is taken as
one when calculating the required reinforcing area.
Design the column shear reinforcement.

the above-mentioned steps.

Beam Design
In the design of concrete beams, SAP2000 calculates and reports the required areas
of steel for flexure and shear based upon the beam moments, and shears, load combination factors and other criteria described below. The reinforcement requirements are calculated at a user defined number of check stations along the beam
span.
All the beams are only designed for major direction flexure and shear. Effects due
to any axial forces, minor direction bending, and torsion that may exist in the beams
must be investigated independently by the user.
The beam design procedure involves the following steps:
Design beam flexural reinforcement

Negative beam moments produce top steel. In such cases the beam is always designed as a rectangular section. Positive beam moments produce bottom steel. In

At any end (support) of the beam, the beam positive moment capacity (i.e. associated with the bottom steel) would not be less than 1/2 of the beam negative
moment capacity (i.e. associated with the top steel) at that end (CAN 21.3.2.2).
Neither the negative moment capacity nor the positive moment capacity at any
of the sections within the beam would be less than 1/4 of the maximum of positive or negative moment capacities of any of the beam end (support) stations
(CAN 21.3.2.2).
For Nominal moment resisting concrete frames (seismic design), the beam design
would satisfy the following conditions:

The overstrength factor is always taken as 1.25 for Ductile moment resisting
frames (CAN 21.1). V + is the contribution of shear force from the load inspan distribution of gravity loads.
D
In the design of Nominal moment resisting frames (seismic), the design shear
force in beams is taken to be the maximum of that based on the nominal moment capacity and factored shear force. The procedure for calculating nominal
moment capacity is the same as that for computing the probable moment
capacity for Ductile moment resisting frames, except that is taken equal to 1
rather than 1.25 (CAN 21.1). The factored shear forces are based on the specified load factors. The computation of the design shear force in a beam of an Intermediate moment resisting frame, is also the same as that for columns,
which is described earlier in section Column Design on page 70. The value of
V + is based on the span load. See also Table V-2 for details.

These are the default load combinations. In addition to the above load combinations, the code requires that all buildings should be capable of resisting a notional
design ultimate horizontal load applied at each floor or roof level. The notional load
should be equal to 0.015 times the dead load (BS 3.1.4.2). It is recommended that
the user define additional load cases for considering the notional load in SAP2000.
Live load reduction factors, as allowed by some design codes, can be applied to the
member forces of the live load case on a member-by-member basis to reduce the
contribution of the live load to the factored loading.
Design Strength
The design strength for concrete and steel are obtained by dividing the characteristic strength of the material by a partial factor of safety, . The values of used in

Column Design
The user may define the geometry of the reinforcing bar configuration of each concrete column section. If the area of reinforcing is provided by the user, the program
checks the column capacity. However, if the area of reinforcing is not provided by
the user, the program calculates the amount of reinforcing required for the column.
The design procedure for the reinforced concrete columns of the structure involves
the following steps:
Generate axial force-biaxial moment interaction surfaces for all of the different
concrete section types of the model. A typical biaxial interaction surface is
shown in Figure III-1. When the steel is undefined, the program generates the
interaction surfaces for the range of allowable reinforcement from 1 to 8 percent (BS 3.12.6.2).
Calculate the capacity ratio or the required reinforcing area for the factored axial force and biaxial (or uniaxial) bending moments obtained from each loading
combination at each station of the column. The target capacity ratio is taken as
one when calculating the required reinforcing area.
Design the column shear reinforcement.
The following three subsections describe in detail the algorithms associated with
the above-mentioned steps.
The formulation is based consistently upon the basic principles of ultimate strength
design and allows for any doubly symmetric rectangular, square, or circular column
section (BS 3.8.4).

Beam Design
In the design of concrete beams, SAP2000 calculates and reports the required areas
of steel for flexure and shear based upon the beam moments, and shears, load combination factors, and other criteria described below. The reinforcement requirements are calculated at a user defined number of check stations along the beam
span.
All the beams are only designed for major direction flexure and shear. Effects due
to any axial forces, minor direction bending, and torsion that may exist in the beams
must be investigated independently by the user.
The beam design procedure involves the following steps:
Design beam flexural reinforcement

(L- and T-beams) is summarized below. It is assumed that the design ultimate axial

These are the default load combinations. These default loading combinations are
produced for persistent and transient design situations (EC2 2.2.1.2) by combining
load due to dead, live, wind, and earthquake loads according to the simplified formula (EC2 2.3.3.1) for ultimate limit states.
In addition to the above load combinations, the code requires that all buildings
should be capable of resisting a notional design ultimate horizontal load applied at
each floor or roof level (EC2 2.5.1.3). It is recommended that the user define additional load cases for considering the notional load in SAP2000.
Live load reduction factors, as allowed by some design codes, can be applied to the
member forces of the live load condition on a member-by-member basis to reduce
the contribution of the live load to the factored loading.
Design Strength
The design strength for concrete and steel are obtained by dividing the characteristic strength of the material by a partial factor of safety, . The values of used in
the program are listed below. These values are recommended by the code to give an
acceptable level of safety for normal structures under regular design situations
(EC2 2.3.3.2). For accidental and earthquake situations, the recommended values
are less than the tabulated value. The user should consider those separately.

Column Design
The user may define the geometry of the reinforcing bar configuration of each concrete column section. If the area of reinforcing is provided by the user, the program
checks the column capacity. However, if the area of reinforcing is not provided by
the user, the program calculates the amount of reinforcing required for the column.
The design procedure for the reinforced concrete columns of the structure involves
the following steps:
Generate axial force-biaxial moment interaction surfaces for all of the different
concrete sections types of the model (EC2 4.3.1.2). A typical biaxial interaction
surface is shown in Figure III-1. When the steel is undefined, the program generates the interaction surfaces for the range of allowable reinforcement from 1
to 8 percent (EC2 5.4.1.2.1).
Calculate the capacity ratio or the required reinforcing area for the factored axial force and biaxial (or uniaxial) bending moments obtained from each loading
combination at each station of the column. The target capacity ratio is taken as
one when calculating the required reinforcing area.
Design the column shear reinforcing.
The following three sections describe in detail the algorithms associated with the
above-mentioned steps.
107
The stress in the steel is given by the product of the steel strain and the steel modulus of elasticity, E , and is limited to the design yield strength the steel, f (EC2
4.2.3.3.3). The area associated with each reinforcing bar is placed at the actual location of the center of the bar and the algorithm does not assume any simplifications
in the manner in which the area of steel is distributed over the cross section of the
column (such as an equivalent steel tube or cylinder).

This capacity ratio is achieved by plotting the point L and determining the location
of point C. The point C is defined as the point where the line OL (if extended outwards) will intersect the failure surface. This point is determined by threedimensional linear interpolation between the points that define the failure surface.
OL
See Figure III-3. The capacity ratio, CR, is given by the ratio
.
OC
If OL = OC (or CR=1) the point lies on the interaction surface and the column is
stressed to capacity.
If OL < OC (or CR<1) the point lies within the interaction volume and the column capacity is adequate.

Beam Design
In the design of concrete beams, SAP2000 calculates and reports the required areas
of steel for flexure and shear based upon the beam moments, shears, load combination factors, and other criteria described below. The reinforcement requirements
are calculated at a user defined number of check stations along the beam span.
All the beams are only designed for major direction flexure and shear. Effects due
to any axial forces, minor direction bending, and torsion that may exist in the beams
must be investigated independently by the user.
The beam design procedure involves the following steps:
Design beam flexural reinforcement
Design beam shear reinforcement
114
Beam Design
122
Negative beam moments produce top steel. In such cases the beam is always designed as a rectangular section. Positive beam moments produce bottom steel. In
such cases, the beam may be designed as a rectangular section, or T-Beam effects
may be included.
The design procedure used by SAP2000, for both rectangular and flanged sections
(L- and T-beams) is summarized below. It is assumed that the design ultimate axial
force does not exceed 0.08 f A (EC2 4.3.1.2), hence all the beams are designed
for major direction flexure and shear only.

Design Output
Overview
SAP2000 creates design output in three major different formats graphical display, tabular output, and member specific detailed design information.
The graphical display of design output includes input and output design
information. Input design information includes design section label, K-factors, live
load reduction factor, and other design parameters. The output design information
includes longitudinal reinforcing, shear reinforcing, and column capacity ratio. All
graphical output can be printed.
The tabular output can be saved in a file or printed. The tabular output includes
most of the information which can be displayed. This is generated for added convenience to the designer.
The member specific detailed design information shows the details of the calculation from the designers point of view. It shows the design forces, design section dimensions, reinforcement, and some intermediate results for all the load combinations at all the design sections of a specific frame member. For a column member, it
can also show the position of the current state of design forces on the column interaction diagram.
