P-M INTERACTION CHECK FOR WALL
EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
The Demand/Capacity ratio for a given axial loading and moment is tested in this
example. The wall is reinforced as shown below. The concrete core wall is
loaded with a factored axial load Pu = 2384 k and moments Mu3 = 9293k-ft. The
design capacity ratio is checked by hand calculations and results are compared
with ETABS program results.

HAND CALCULATION
Wall Strength under compression and bending
1) A value of e = 46.78 inches was determined using e = M u / Pu where M u and Pu

were taken from the ETABS test model interaction diagram. The values of M u and
Pu were 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:
Pn1 = Cc + Cs − T
where
Cc =Ccw +Ccf , where Ccw and Ccf are the area of the concrete web and flange in
compression
= Ccw 0.85 fc′ • 8 • ( a − 8 )
=Ccf 0.85 fc′ ( 8 • ( 98 − 40 ) )
Cs =A1′ ( fs1 − 0.85 fc′) + A2′ ( fs 2 − 0.85 fc′) + A3′ ( fs 3 − 0.85 fc′)
T = As4 f s4 + As5 f s5 + As6 f s6
=Pn1 0.85 fc′ • 8 • ( a − 8 ) + 0.85 fc′ ( 8 • ( 98 − 40 ) ) + A1′ ( fs1 − 0.85 fc′) +
A2′ ( fs 2 − 0.85 fc′) + A3′ ( fs 3 − 0.85 fc′) + As 4 fs 4 + As 5 fs 5 + As 6 fs 6
(Eqn. 1)
3) Taking moments about As6:
