This video demonstrates the determination of design strength of a typical building elevator concrete core wall through the development of the axial - moment interaction diagram for the wall about the x-axis. Provisions of the American code (ACI 318-14) are used for hand calculations to determine seven control points on the interaction diagram along with a comparison with the results from the spColumn engineering software program by StructurePoint. Exact values from the complete interaction diagram are shown as generated by spColumn program.
