P-M INTERACTION CHECK FOR A WALL
EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
The Demand/Capacity ratio for a given axial load and moment are tested in this
example. A reinforced concrete wall is subjected to a factored axial load Pu =
8368 kN and moments Muy = 11967 kN-m. This wall is reinforced as noted
below. The design capacity ratio is checked by hand calculations and the results
are compared with ETABS program results.

HAND CALCULATION
Wall Strength Determined as follows:
1) A value of e = 1430 mm was determined using

eM P=
where
u
M
and
u
P
were
taken from the ETABS test model PMM interaction diagram for pier P1. Values for
u
M
and
u
P
were taken near the balanced condition and large enough to produce a
flexural D/C ratio very close to or equal to one. The depth to the neutral axis, c, was
determined by iteration using an excel spreadsheet so that equations 1 and 2 below
were equal.
2) From the equation of equilibrium:
