Sample result

This is a live sample output for a 16×16 in rectangular tied column with 8-#9 longitudinal bars (f′c = 5,000 psi, Grade 60), checked per ACI 318-19 under Pu = 200 kip and M2 = 60 kip-ft. The same section is verified against StructurePoint's published spColumn reference — see the verification report and the methodology. Run your own column to get an editable .docx calc-note.

PASS

Both axial and moment D/C ratios ≤ 1.00.
