Reinforce concrete column under biaxial bending

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on a Mathematica program designed to compute the load and moments on a concrete column subjected to biaxial bending. The user is encountering difficulties in establishing the upper limit for the distance of the neutral axis from the top left corner of the column. Clarification is sought regarding the breakdown of the section into layers to address this issue effectively.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of biaxial bending in structural engineering
  • Familiarity with stress block analysis in concrete design
  • Proficiency in using Mathematica for computational modeling
  • Knowledge of neutral axis calculations in reinforced concrete
NEXT STEPS
  • Research methods for calculating neutral axis locations in reinforced concrete columns
  • Explore advanced features of Mathematica for structural analysis
  • Study the principles of stress block theory in concrete design
  • Learn about layer analysis techniques in structural engineering
USEFUL FOR

Civil engineers, structural analysts, and students involved in concrete design and analysis, particularly those working with biaxial bending scenarios.

I've made a program with Mathematica that will compute the load along with the moments sustained by a concrete column given the stress block area and orientation(in other word the neutral axis center location and the angle it makes with the horizontal). However I am facing an issue with setting the upper limit for the distance of the neutral axis to the top left corner as shown in the attached picture. I would like if anyone could help me.
