ACI Member Analyzer

ACI Concrete Member Analyzer

The ACI 318-19 code introduced significant changes to one-way shear design. These changes often result in lower calculated concrete shear capacity (Vc) compared to ACI 318-14. This is particularly true for thicker members or those with less longitudinal reinforcement. This tool helps compare designs under different ACI code editions and optimization strategies:

  • Scenario A (ACI 318-14): Baseline design using the previous code edition.
  • Scenario B (ACI 318-19 Direct): Direct application of ACI 318-19 provisions.
  • Scenario C (ACI 318-19 Iterated As): Explores increasing longitudinal steel (As) to enhance Vc under ACI 318-19.
  • Scenario D (ACI 318-19 Iterated h): Explores increasing member thickness (h) to meet shear demands under ACI 318-19.

Analyze and compare concrete member designs for different concrete strengths based on ACI 318 code provisions.
