Design of biaxially loaded column

Example :

Size of column=600*400mm >B=400mm

D=600mm

Factored axial load=1600kn >Pu=1600kn

Mux =120knm &Muy=90knm

Fck=25N/mm2 fy=415N/mm2

Reinforcement on all four sides

1. Assume Pt(%)

Range from 0.8% to6%

Assume Pt=1.2%

P/fck=1.2/25 =0.048

2. Assume effective cover and find (d’/D )&(d’/B)

Effective cover=50mm
d’=50mm
d’/D=0.083 d’/B=50/400=0.125 f y=415n/mm2
[Use the chart d’/D=0.1& for d’/B=0.15 graph]
3. Find PU/fck b D
PU/fckb D=1600*103/(25*400*600)
=0.266.
4. Choose graph from SP16 and find MUX1/(fckb D2)
From chart 44. [Considering d’/D & P/fck]
Mux1 /(fckb D2)=0.1
MUX1=0.1*25*400*6002
=360*106 N/mm
 =360 KN.m
5. Choose graph and find MUY1/(fck b D2)
From graph 45. [Consider d’/B and PU/FCK b D]
MUy1/fck b D2=0.09
Muy1=0.09*D*b2 (about y direction)
=0.09*25*600*4002
=216KN .m
6. Calculate Puz
From chart 63. ,we can find Puz/Ag.
We require
P=1.2% ; fy=415 N/mm2 ; fck=25
Puz/Ag=13
P uz=13*(B*D)
=13*400*60
=3120 KN.
7. FIND Pu/PUZ , Mux/Mux1 , Muy/Muy1 :
PU/Puz=1600*103/3120*103
=0.51
Mux/MUX1=120/360= 0.33
Muy/Muy1=90/216= 0.41
8. Find permissible Mux/Mux1:
From graph 64.
(MUX/Mux1)permissible =0.83
9. Check( Mux/Mux1)permissible >(Mux/Mux1)
0.83 > 0.33 , hence OK.
10.Calculate Asc and provide main and lateral reinforcement of the column:
(Asc)required=p*b*D/100
=1.2*400*600/100 =2880mm2.
Hence assume 20mm dia bar,
Provide 10 nos. of 20mm dia bars as main reinforcement(A sc=3140mm2)

11.Design of lateral ties:

Dia of lateral ties
  20/4=5mm
 6mm

Pitch of lateral ties

 Least lateral dimension=400mm

 16*20=320mm
 300mm

Hence provide 8mm dia @300mm c/c as lateral ties
