Design for Tension:
Required Compressive Strength:
The required compressive strength is (taking compression as negative and tension as
positive):
Pu = 0.9 • PD + 1.0 • PW = 0.9 • (−260) + 1.0 • 980.0 = 746 kips
Available Tensile Strength:
ΦPn =Φ ( As • Fy + Asr • Fysr ) =0.9(13.3 • 50 + 6.32 • 60) =939.8 kips
