COLUMN DESIGN CALCULATIONS

APARTMENT A

Column Dimensions Thickness = 450 mm

Width = 450 mm

1. Determine PU from STAAD PU = 1934.688 kN

Analysis

2. Check if the column dimension is 𝑃𝑢 = 0.8 𝜙 [0.85𝑓′𝐶 (𝐴𝑔 − 𝐴𝑠𝑡) + 𝐴𝑠𝑡𝐹𝑦]

above minimum required gross 1934.688 x 103 = 0.8 (0.65) [(0.85) (28)

section based on the actual load (𝐴𝑔 − 0.01𝐴𝑔) + (420) (0.01𝐴𝑔)]

carried by the column. Ag = 134,016.06 mm2

Assume 450 mm by 450 mm column;

Ag = 202,500 mm2

134,016.06 < 202,500

Therefore, column dimension is above

minimum required gross section based on

the actual load carried by the column.

 Formula:

𝑃𝑢 = 0.8 𝜙 [0.85𝑓′𝐶 (𝐴𝑔 − 𝐴𝑠𝑡) + 𝐴𝑠𝑡𝐹𝑦]

Where Ag = 202500 mm2

1934.688 x 103 = 0.8 (0.65) [(0.85) (28)

(202500 – 𝐴st) + (420) (𝐴st)]

As = -2773.716 mm2

3. Compute the required As Asreqd < As = ρAg = 0.01(202,500)

= 2025 mm2

Using 20 mm bars:

As 2025
N20 = = = 6.45 ≈ 8 pieces
Ad 314.1593

Use 8-20 mm bars

4. Design of ties Use 10 ∅ mm size of ties

(a.) 16db = 16 (20) = 320

(b.) 48dt = 48 (10) = 480

(c.) Least lateral column dimension = 400

Therefore spacing of ties is 320 mm.

5. Check Pumax = 0.8 ϕ [0.85f′C (Ag − Ast) + Astfy]

Pumax = 0.8 (0.65) [(0.85) (28)

(202,500 − 2025) + (420) (2025)]

Pumax = 2923.3386 kN

Pumax > Pu

Therefore, column is capable to carry the

axial load
