STEP 6: Design of circular pile section by limit state method for axial compressive load &
bending moment as per IS:456-2000 including slenderness effect
Calculates range of safe loads for a Pile Section with given Concrete Grade and Reinforcement
and checks adequacy of the section for the given loads.
NOTES FOR USERS:
1. Figures and Texts in white cells only are to be filled as inputs. For
any case without inputs, load inputs for that case are to be left blank.
2. Concrete grade can be any grade as per IS:456-2000.
Pile Diameter = 550 mm 3. Yield strength of steel, fy = 415 N/mm2 or 500 N/mm2 for HYSD bars.

NOTES ON CIRCOLUMN.xls
This Spreadsheet is intended to be used by qualified Civil and Structural Engineers who are
familiar with the provisions of IS:456-2000, and those who will evaluate the significance and
limitations of its contents and take responsibility for its use and application.
DISCLAIMER
No Liability is accepted by the author of the Spreadsheets for any direct, indirect, consequential or
incidental loss or damage arising out of the usage of Spreadsheets or any mistakes and negligence
in developing the Spreadsheets. The organisation or person using the Spreadsheets bears all risks
and responsibility for the quality and performance of the Spreadsheets.
1. Minimum number of bars = 6. Although calculations are made for total 8 nos. of bar, it can
be used for more number of bars without significant error, subject to satisfying the requirements
of IS:456-2000 regarding spacing of bars, maximum percentage of steel, cover, etc.
2. All bars are considered to be of same diameter.
3. The bars are considered to be uniformly spaced along the circumference, as shown.
4. If the steel used has different strength from those considered, the spreadsheet can still be used
considering the nearest value of strength, and the area of reinforcement considered is to be
modified in proportion to the ratio of strengths.
5. Cover to bars is considered uniform all round, and it is to be clear to the main bars,
and not for links. Links considered are of 'hoop' type, and not of 'helical' type.
6. Applied loads Pu and Mu act on the centroid of column section.
7. Range of permissible values of Pu and Mu for the column section considered,
can be seen in worksheet on 'Pu&Mu Chart'.
8. Calculations can be made for 10 (ten) number load cases for the column section
considered. For any case without inputs, load inputs for that case are to be left blank.
