[dr. rifat]

Dear all,
Any one can explained me these results from Etabs 2016?
How to interpret these results according to ACI-318?

1.Column P-M-M Interaction Ratios
2.(6/5) Beam/Column Capacity Ratios
3.Column/Beam Capacity Ratios
4.Joint Shear Capacity Ratios



Thanks in advanced

Etabs has some good manuals that cover what these ratios mean. They are simply the ratio of the design action to the design capacity or ratio of sum of beams strength to sum of column strengths, etc.

For example, you should be able to look within your installation folder and go through the concrete frame design manual, concrete wall design manual and other manuals and find what you are after. They are also available online from CSI if you search.

The name of the ratio should be pretty self explanatory though if you are familiar with ACI318 provisions related to whatever you are designing. I'd suggest doing some hand checks to familiarise yourself with what exactly ETAB's is calculating, so you understand each ratio and when it might apply to your particular design.
