Note: Assignment should be submitted both, through online portal in soft and in hard copy to the relevant
faculty member, No marks for late submission.

Q.1: Calculate the axial load capacity for the given concentrically loaded short column. Take 𝑓′𝑐 = 20
MPa, and 𝑓𝑦 = 400 MPa.

Q.2: Design an axially loaded short rectangular-column for 𝑃𝑢 = 2200 kN if one side of the column
is restricted to 300 mm. Take 𝑓′𝑐 = 21 MPa and 𝑓𝑦 = 420 MPa assuming ρ = 0.02 for longitudinal
bars.

Q.3: Select the reinforcement for a short column using ACI-interaction diagrams such that 𝑃u = 350𝑘,
𝑀u = 150 𝑓𝑡-k, 𝑓′𝑐 = 4 ksi, and 𝑓𝑦 = 60 ksi with the following two conditions;

a): Place the bars uniformly around all four faces of a 20 in x 20 in. square tied column as shown
in figure-(a).
b): Use a round spiral column with an outer diameter of 24 in. as shown in figure-(b).
