MATLAB toolbox for the design of Reinforced Concrete structural members based on ACI 318-02

The toolbox has modules for design of beams, columns, slabs & foundations.

MATLAB toolbox consists of modules for the design of Reinforced Concrete structural members including beams (rectangular, tee and l-), columns (rectangular sujected to axial loading and bi-axial bending and circular subjected only to axial loading), slabs (one way and two way) and foundations (square column and wall) on the basis of ACI 318-02. Besides by manual calculations, the working of the programs has been tested by a case study in SAP2000.
The difference in these calculations is 2 - 4% for beams and columns and an average of 15% or 0.06 in2/ft for slabs. The latter differences are due to different methods of analysis used by MATLAB toolbox and SAP2000. Overall, for two way slabs, the design values of SAP2000 for two way slabs are more conservative. Moreover, the design values are small and can be easily affected by rounding off.

The final Toolbox contain following main functions:
1) "rectbeam.m": For design of rectangular beam for flexure and shear and unit width strips slabs or foundations for flexure
2) "tee_or_l_beam": For design of tee and l-beams for flexure.
3) "maxdeflection.m": For calculation of maximum deflection in rectangular, tee and l-beams.
4) "shearreinf_endshears": For design of shear reinforcement of uniformly loaded rectangular, tee and l-beams for defined end shears.
5) "column": For design of longitudinal and confinement reinforcement for circular, square and rectangular columns against axial compression.
6) "column_biaxial_bending.m": For design of longitudinal reinforcement of rectangular columns subjected to axial loading as well as bi-axial bending.
7) "onewayslab.m": For design of one way slabs for flexure and shear.
8) "twowayslab.m": For design of two way slabs for flexure by Moment Coefficient Method, shear and calculation of deflection.
9) "squarefooting.m": For design of square footing under a square column subjected to axial compression for flexure and shear.
10) "wallfoundation.m": For design of foundation under wall subjected to axial compression for flexure and shear.
