Design of Column with Axial Load & Uni-axial Moment

Design an RCC Column having size 460 X 760 mm. It is subjected with factored axial Fo
Column Unsupported length is 3.81 m. The Column is effectively held in position and

Condition : Rectangular Section- Reinforcement distributed Equally on Four Sides

Column Data UNIT

B 460 mm
D 760 mm
Unsupported length of Column , L 3.81 m

Column Effectively held in position and

restrained against rotation in both directrion
(both the ends fixed jointed), Leff= 2.4765 m

Column Effectively held in position at both

the ends but not restrained against rotation
(both the ends pin jointed), Leff= 3.81 m
Effective length of Column , Leff 2.48 m
fck 25 N/mm2
fy (N/mm2) 500 N/mm2
Factored Load Pu (KN) 2100 KN
Mux or Muy 210.47 KNm
Assume Clear Cover 40 mm
Assume dia of bar 25 mm
Effective cover (d') 52.5 mm

Check for Short or Long Column

lex/D 3.26
ley/B 5.39

Eccentricity Check
Mu= Pu x e, then e= 0.10 m
Eccentricity , e = 100 mm

Check for minimum eccentricity

 Longer side (emin)= (l/500+D/30) 33.0 mm

Shorter side (emin)= (l/500+B/30) 23.0 mm

Minimum of above two, emin = 23.0 mm
e should be greater than emin OK

Design of Ties
Dia of tie (Main bar dia/4) 6.25 mm
or dia = 6 mm
Take (maximum of above two) 6.25 mm
Ties dia 8 mm
Sapcing
1. Least lateral dimension 460 mm
2. 16 * dia of main bar 400 mm
3. 300 mm 300 mm
Take minimum of above 3. (mm) 300 mm
Provide 8 mm ties @ 300mm c/c

Step 6: Check for Extra Tie UNIT

Condition : If Spacing b/w two bars > 75mm
then Extra tie required.
Along , D 760 mm
Spacing between two bars = 340 mm
Extra tie required

Check for closed tie or open tie UNIT

Condition : If Spacing b/w two edge bars > 48
Ø(ties) then Provide close tie.
Along , D 760 mm
Spacing b/w two edges of bars = 680 mm
48 Ø(ties) = 384 mm
Hence, Provide Close tie
