Design of column

Calculations Output
Design philosophy and introduction
The area of influence of the column is the area of which load is being transferred to the column to be designed.
After a quick look, we see that the column in the hatched area will have the largest area of influence. Therefore,
we start by designing the above column for the top floor.
Calculation of area of influence Total area of
Area from slab = (3.6 + 3.5 + 3.15 + 3.24 ) m2 = 13.49 m2 influence =
Area from beam = (6.35*0.25 + 0.25*0.25) m2 = 1.65 m2 15.14 m2
Total area = 15.14 m2
Load calculation for the top floor Total load for
Weight acting due to slab = (3.75 + 0.96 1.44) * 13.49 = 65.48 KN top floor =
Weight acting due to beam = (0.45*25*1.65) = 18.65 KN 235.28 kN/m
Weight due to brick masonry = [ 19(3.2 – 0.45) * 0.125 * 6.6] = 43.10625 KN
Total load = Dead load + Live load = 156.85 KN/m
Factored load = (156.85 * 1.5) = 235.28 KN/m
Calculation of Ast for column We provide 8
The ultimate load of the column is given by number of 16
Pu= 0.4fckAc + 0.67fyAsc mm bar.
A = Act + Asc = (400 * 400) mm2
However, solving this equation, the value of A ct comes out to be negative, which means that we have provided an
oversized section, thus the minimum Asc i.e. 0.8% of A should be provided.
Asc = 1 280 mm2
We provided 8 number of 16 mm bar
Asc provided = ( π/4 * 162 * 8) mm2 = 1608.99 mm2
Check for long column/ short column The short is
Unsupported length = 2750 mm short.
Effective length = (0.65 * 2750) mm = 1787.5 mm
Effective length / Least lateral dimension of column = 1787.5 / 400 =4.46 less than 12
The column is short .
Check for eccentricity of columns No bending
As per IS – 456 – 200, the eccentricity of the column must be greater of the followings – moment
i) 20mm consideration
ii) Left / 500 + b / 30 = 18.33 is required.
i.e 20 mm
Permissible eccentricity value = 0.05b = (0.05 * 400) = 20 mm
Therefore no. bending moment consideration is required.
Design of column for the ground floor Total load for
Load consideration ground floor =
Ground floor = 613.96 kN/m
The load of the column of the previous floor will be added.
Weight of slab = (65.48 * 3) kN = 196.44 kN
Weight due to beam = (18.56 8 * 3) kN = 55.68 kN
Weight due to brick mansory = (43.106 * 3) kN = 129.3 kN
Weight due to column = 2 * (3.2 – 0.45) * (0.4) 2 * 25 kN = 22 kN
Dead load = 403.42 kN
Live load = (1.962 * 3) kN = 5.886 kN
Total load = 409.306 kN
Factored load = 613.959 kN
Calculation of Ast We provided 8
The ultimate load of the column is given by number of 16
Pu= 0.4fckAc + 0.67fyAsc mm bar
A = Act + Asc = (400 * 400) mm2
However, solving this equation, the value of A ct comes out to be negative, which means that we have provided an

Asc = 1 280 mm2
We provided 8 number of 16 mm bar
Asc provided = ( π/4 * 162 * 8) mm2 = 1608.99 mm2
The rest of the checks are same as done in top floor.
Determination of the diameter and spacing of the lateral ties We provide 6
The diameter of the ties shall not be lesser than the greatest of the following values mm lateral ties
1) 5 mm at the rate of
2) 1/4th of the diameter of the largest diameter i.e. 16m = 4mm 250 mm c/c
We provide 6 mm ties spacing
The spacing of the ties shall not exceed the least of the following values
1) Least lateral dimension = 400 mm
2) 16 times the diameter of the smallest diameter longitudinal bar = 256 mm
3) 48 times the diameter of the ties = 288 mm
We provide 250 mm
Therefore, we provide 6 mm lateral ties at the rate of 250 mm c/c spacing
