11.5.2 Step-by-Step Procedure for Nominal Flexural Resistance Step 1: Determine the normalized column slenderness factor, ππ. The normalized column slenderness factor is to be evaluated using the following equation. However, if the pile is fully embedded, Ξ» maybe taken as 0 (AASHTO 2014). ππ = Equation 11-55) In which πΉπΉ ππ = πΉπΉ π¦π¦ + πΆπΆ 1 πΉπΉ π¦π¦ππ οΏ½ π΄π΄ π π π‘π‘ππ π΄π΄ π π π‘π‘ οΏ½ + πΆπΆ 2 ππ ππ β² οΏ½ π΄π΄ ππ π΄π΄ π π π‘π‘ οΏ½ Equation 11-56) πΈπΈ ππ = πΈπΈ π π π‘π‘ οΏ½1 + οΏ½ πΆπΆ 3 ππ οΏ½ οΏ½ π΄π΄ ππ π΄π΄ π π π‘π‘ οΏ½οΏ½ Equation 11-57) ππ = Equation 11-59) Where Ξ» = Normalized column slenderness factor. st Cross sectional area of steel (inc Cross sectional area of concrete (instr Cross sectional area of longitudinal reinforcing steel (in. πΎπΎ = Effective length factor ππ = Unbraced length in the plane of buckling (in. rs Radius of gyration about axis normal to plane of buckling (in. πΉπΉ ππ = Nominal compressive resistance of composite section (ksi). πΉπΉ π¦π¦ = Yield stress of steel (ksi). yr Yield stress of reinforcing steel (ksi). c Concrete compressive strength at 28 days, unless otherwise specified (ksi). πΈπΈ ππ = Modified elastic modulus of steel for composite column (ksi).
