 DESIGN OF AXIALLY LOADED COLUMN
GIVEN DATA - fck, fy, L, P
REQUIRED - b x d, Asc, Ash

1. ASSUME PERCENTAGE OF STEEL (1% TO 2%) OF Ag

2. CALCULATE Ag GROSS AREA OF CONCRETE + STEEL
Pu=1.5P
THEREFORE TO CALCULATE Ag,
Pu=0.4 Fck Ag + (0.67 fy – 0.4 Fck) Asc.

3. CHECK SLENDERNESS OF COLUMN

Le/L.L.D ≤ 12 SHORT COLUMN

> 12 LONG COLUMN

4. ASSUME WIDTH OF COLUMN

b(min)=230 mm & calculate D
5. CALCULATE Asc=1-2% OF Ag
WHERE Asc IS AREA OF STEEL IN COLUMN

CALCULATE NO. OF BARS AS LONGITUDNAL REINFORCEMENT

Asc(MIN)=0.8% &
Asc(max)=4% PREFERABLY OR 6%

6. LATERAL TIES

I) DIA.OF TRANSVERSE REINFORCEMENT= фsh=1/4 of фm(main)or 6mm

Whichever is greater

II) PITCH
i) L.L.D }
ii) 16 фm } Whichever is less
iii) 300 mm }
7. CHECK FOR MINIMUM ECCCENTRICITY
e(min)=L/500 + b/30 ≥ 20 mm } X direction
<0.05b }

e(min)=L/500 + D/30 ≥ 20 mm } Y direction

<0.05D }

8. ASSUME THE CLEAR COVER dc=40mm & CALCULATE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE BARS

(B-40-40-ф) < 300mm

 DESIGN OF AXIALLY LOADED COLUMN
GIVEN DATA – fck=20, fy=500, Floor to floor height=3000, P=500kN
REQUIRED - b x d, Asc, Ash

ASSUME PERCENTAGE OF STEEL (1% TO 2%) OF Ag

Let Asc=0.01 Ag
1. CALCULATE Ag GROSS AREA OF CONCRETE + STEEL
Pu=1.5P=1.5x500=750 kN
THEREFORE TO CALCULATE Ag,
Pu=0.4 fck Ag + (0.67 fy – 0.4 fck) Asc=0.4x20xAg + (0.67+500-0.4x20)x0.01Ag=750x103
8Ag+3.27Ag=750x103
Ag=66548.35mm2
3. ASSUME WIDTH OF COLUMN

Let, b=230 mm & calculate D

D=66548.35/230=289.34mm

Say D=300mm

4. CHECK SLENDERNESS OF COLUMN

Le/L.L.D=(0.85x2700)/230=9.98 ≤ 12

∴ Design a SHORT COLUMN

5. Calculate Longitudinal reinforcement Asc=1-2% of Ag
Where asc =0.01x230x300=690mm2
Asc(min)=0.8% & Asc(max)=4% preferably or 6%
No. Of bars =690/201=3.43 say 4
Provide 4-16ø as longitudinal reinforcement.
6. Lateral ties
I) Dia.of transverse reinforcement= фsh=1/4 of фm(main) or 6mm whichever is greater
Фsh=1/4 of фm(main)=0.25x16=4mm
6mm is greater, ∴ Take 6mm dia. bars
II) pitch
i) l.L.D=230mm }
ii) 16 фm =16x16=256mm whichever is less
iii) 300 mm }
∴ Provide 6mm dia. Lateral ties at 225mm c/c.
7. CHECK FOR MINIMUM ECCCENTRICITY
Longitudinal reinforcement
ex=L/500 + D/30 ≥ 20 mm } about major axis
subjected to minimum 20mm

ex=(2700/500) + (300/30) =15.4mm < 20mm

ey=L/500 + b/30 } about minor axis
subjected to minimum 20mm
ey=(2700/500)+ (230/30)=13.06mm < 20mm

8. ASSUME THE CLEAR COVER dc=40mm & CALCULATE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE BARS
As the dimension of column is 230mmx300mm distance between the bars is less than
300mm
300mm

230mm

4-16mm ø

6mm ø lateral ties @225mm c/c
