I'm trying to calculate the area of steel (for rebar) required for a reinforced concrete pier. My shear force is 28 kips, axial loading is 112 kips, and my uplift force is 59 kips. For estimating purposes, my pier is 3' in dia x 28' deep (28.5' OAL) with 6" above the ground. Soil is sand. I need help calculating the maximum moment on the pier below ground as well as the calculations to determine the area of vertical rebar (dowels) required. Thanks
