General column design by PROKON. (GenCol Ver W3.1.09 - 28 Apr 2020)

Design code : ACI 318 - 2011

General design parameters:

Given:
Lo = 10.400 m
fc' = 70 MPa
fy = 390 MPa ACI 318 - 2011 Y
Ac = 643536 mm²

(3) The design axial loads are taken constant
over the height of the column.

Design approach:
The column is designed using an iterative procedure:
(1) An area of reinforcement is chosen.
(2) The column design charts are constructed.
(3) The corresponding slenderness moments are calculated.
(4) The design axis and design ultimate moment are determined .
(5) The design axial force and moment capacity is checked on
the relevant design chart.
(6) The safety factor is calculated for this load case.
(7) The procedure is repeated for each load case.
(8) The critical load case is identified as the case yielding the lowest
safety factor about the design axis

Through inspection:
Load case 4 ([Pier:MK]-[LCWP9A]-[L08]-[M1]) is critical.

Check column slenderness:

End fixity and bracing for bending about the Design axis:
The column is braced.

Effective length factor ß = 0.75 Table 3.21

Effective column height:

k Lu = ß . Lo
= .75 ×10.4
= 7.800 m

Note that 34 - 12× M1/M2 is limited to a maximum value of 40.0

The column is bent in single curvature about the X-X axis:

M1 = Smaller initial end moment = 107.6 kNm

M2 = Larger initial end moment = 956.5 kNm

The column is bent in single curvature about the Y-Y axis:

M1 = Smaller initial end moment = 73.4 kNm

M2 = Larger initial end moment = 295.3 kNm

Moment Magnification: 10.10.6

For bending about the weakest axis:

The bending moments M1 and M2 about the X-X and Y-Y axes are transformed to
moments about the weakest axis and summed to give resultant moments about the
weakest axis. Moment magnification is now performed and the slenderness in-
duced moments are transformed back to the X-X and Y-Y axes.

Weakest axis lies at an angle of -180.00° to the X-X axis

Bending moment (kNm)

Moment distribution along the height of the column for bending about the design axis:

The final design moments were calculated as the vector sum of the X- and Y- moments
of the critical load case. This also determined the design axis direction

At the top, Mx = 1308.9 kNm

Near mid-height, Mx = 650.5 kNm
At the bottom, Mx = 329.8 kNm
