06-Sep-23 Design of RC Column 1


Classification of Column
Example 1
The RC frame shown in figure below is composed of members
with rectangular cross sections. All members are constructed of
the same strength concrete (E is the same for both beams and
columns). Considering bending in the plane of the frame only,
classify column EF as long or short
a) if the frame is braced.
b) if the frame is unbraced.
All beams are 𝟑𝟎𝟎𝒎𝒎𝒙𝟔𝟎𝟎𝒎𝒎 and concrete grade 𝐶20/25
