摘要：Reinforced concrete column has complicated calculations. Designer usually acts trial and error to get the optimum dimension and reinforcement according to the occurred loads. It takes long process and the result is not always be the most economical section. Nowadays smartphone with its various applications is very popular among societies. Besides being more flexible in place and time, smartphone has ease in operation and is commonly used by people. Hence, those advantages can be used to optimize reinforced concrete column quickly and accurately. The application named “C2App” (Concrete Column Application) had been created by accommodate regulation in Indonesia (SNI 2847:2013). Biaxial calculation used Bresler’s approach, while calculation of slender column applied Moment Magnification Method. The application is able to show interaction diagram, section drawing, and result tables. Moreover, the application was equipped with local database, and detailed calculations in pdf format to support the real project. Validation was done with computer-based software named CSiCol and ASDIP Concrete, whereas the optimization result was compared with other designs which used ACI Diagrams and Particle Swarm Optimization method. The application was pretty accurate and could provide a more economical section.
