DESIGN OF COLUMNS

Design Specs:
f'c= 17.24 Mpa
fy= 414 Mpa

For C2:

Pu= 247.92 kN
Column size: 200 mm x 350 mm
try Pg= 0.02
Ag= 70000 sq.mm

As= PgAg
As= 1400 sq.mm
Use: 16 mmØ bar Ab = 201.0624 sq.mm
No.of bars = As / Ab
= 6.963012 say 8 bars

Actual As= 1608.5 sq.mm

Check:
Pu= Ø0.8[0.85f'c(Ag-As)+FyAs]
Pu= 934.15 kN > 247.92 kN ( safe )

FACTOR OF SAFETY = 3.77

Therefore use 200 mm x 350 mm SECTION

with 8 16 mmØ RSB and ties spaced as follows:
3@ 50mm, 3@100mm 3@ 150mm rest @ 200mm on center
