ProgramDescriptionPCACOL V2.30:The following bugs havebeen fixed:-1. Trying to start IRRCOLafter executing a DOS program or DOS session inWindows gave a 'Cannot Transfer Data to IRRCOL' message and the user had to restart Windows to remedy the situation.2. Divide by zero error whentrying to design a section that cannot be designedbecause of bar spacing restrictions.3. Very small non-zero momentcauses 'Cannot Converge.' For biaxial runs, theinterpolation method to obtain the interactiondiagrams yielded incorrect results for columns with very large (or very small) width/depth ratio.5. A crash occured if a userattempts to input a load value that has more than 5digits.6. If more than 15 factoredloads are input using the Loads/Factored command, thecomputed capacities table lists garbled results after the 15th load and printing the results file causesa crash.7.

All list boxes (FactoredLoads, Service Loads, Axial Loads, and IrregularReinforcement) caused a crash if the maximum number of items in a list box was entered and an attempt to delete an item was made.8. For uniaxial slender columnruns under the CSA code, if no moments are input atthe top and bottom of the column, the ratio M1/M2 used to compute Cm was taken as 0.6 instead of 1.0 as indicated in the maunal.9. For the CSA code, whencomputing the magnified moment, the total moment M(2b)+M(2s),for braced columns, or M(2b)+Delta(s).M(2s), for unbraced columns, should have been compared to the moment due to minimum eccentricity, M(min).
The program is now correct and equations 5-33 and 5-35 in the manual should be changed to M(c) = Delta(b).M(min).10. For the CSA code, uniaxialslender column runs, the Cm coefficient was computedbased on the minimum moment eccentricity if M(min) was larger than the applied moment.11.
Printing problems occuredwhen printing results or screen if the printer is apost script printer.The following enhancementsare made:-1. Up to 8 load combinations may be defined and the load factors are independent of each other from combination to combination. Also, the Deadand Live load factors used to compute Beta(d) for slender columns are now independent of the defined load combinations. These factors are now input using the Slenderness/Factors command (see 3 below).2. A new command, Options/RebarDatabase, is added.

This command allows the user tocustomize the reinforcing bars that the program uses. Any user-input bars are saved with the input data file.3. The Unbraced Factorscommand is changed to Factors (under Slenderness).This command now enables the user to change the load case factors used to compute Beta(d) in equations 5-15, 5-16,and 5-31 of the manual. The strength reduction factorused in equations 5-10, 5-11, 5-26, and 5-27 of themanual may also be modified.4. In the Control Points orAxial Loads mode, the neutral axis depth is printed inthe last table of the results file.5.
File/Export now saves thefailure surface data points (the points used inplotting the interaction diagrams and contour plots).Note that the size of the resulting TXT file may be very large (for biaxial runs).6. All list boxes enablemultiple selection according to the Microsoft Windows standards (by using theCTRL or SHIFT keys, see the Microsoft Windows Manualfor details).For design& investigation of rectangular, round, or irregular concretecolumns. Incorporates ACI 318-02.Best selling PCA software, updated to ACI 318-02 andnow includes pcaColumn+ for irregular columns. PcaColumnis a computer program for the design and investigation ofreinforced concrete column sections.

The column section can berectangular, round or irregular shaped with any reinforcementlayout or pattern, and slenderness effects can be considered.pcaColumn is 32-bit optimized technology written for theMicrosoft Windows environment. It has a simple graphical userinterface simplifies the data input and clearly present theoutput.Network licenses and Upgrade pricing available,email us at for more information.ถ้ามีคำถามเกี่ยวกับหัวข้อโปรแกรมต่างๆให้ไปที่นะครับ: We hope you will get useful things from here, and pleasecome back again.
