Subject: Design of Concrete Structures-II
Tutorial-II (Unit-II, Analysis, and design of axially loaded and eccentrically loaded short
column)
(All the questions are related to CO-2)
Statement of CO2: Analyze and design axially and eccentrically loaded column and
construct the interaction diagram for them.
Assume suitable data where needed.
Attempt all the questions.

Q.1 Design a short column to carry the ultimate load of 2000 kN over an
unsupported length of 3.4 m, Use M20 & Fe415.
Q.2 Explain in detail Pu -Mu interaction diagram
Q.3 Explain IS specifications for reinforcement in compression member
Q.4 Establish the relationship for the load-carrying capacity of an axially
loaded short column
Q.5 Write functions of longitudinal & transverse reinforcement in R.C.C
column
Q.6 Design the short column to carry a working load of 1000 kN and uniaxial
moment about the x-axis is 250 kNm Use M25 and Fe 415. d’= 50mm
Q.7 Design the short RC column of size 300×400mm subjected to a factored
axial load of 1000kN. Its unsupported length w.r.t. major axis is 3m and
w.r.t. minor axis is 4.2m. Design the reinforcement for the column using
suitable charts. Use M20 and Fe 415
Q.8 Design a short column of size 500 x 600 mm subjected to an axial load of
Pu = 2000 kN and bi-axial bending moments as below,
Mux = 150 kNm and Muy = 120 kNm
Use M20 and fe415 grades of materials
Use appropriate charts
