DESIGN OF ROUND HOLLOW CONCRETE BEAM WITH AXIAL LOADS
DESIGN OF ROUND HOLLOW CONCRETE BEAM WITH AXIAL LOADS
(OP)
Looking for any type of classical methods to analyze a round hollow concrete beam with axial load. It is really a cantilever tower that is 858 feet for the outside diameter and 81 feet interior diameter that is 615 feet tall. Wall thickness is 24 inches. I have the applied moment, so I now want to find the required area of reinforcing steel.

For sectional capacity, and assuming the axial load is substantial, then construct a M-P column interaction diagram based upon some initially assumed reinforcing steel arrangements. Maybe consider some software like SP COLUMN Link
Tall tower @ 615 feet. Are there openings in the wall of the section?
