EXERCISE PROBLEMS

Problem 1:

A square tied column 400 mm is reinforced with

8-25 mm bars with fy=275 MPa and f’c=21 MPa.
Determine the ultimate axial load of capacity
of the column.

Problem 2:

Design a squared tied column to support an

axial dead load of 575 kN and an axial live load
of 795 kN. Assume f’c=28 MPa and fy=400 MPa.
Use 28 mm main bars and 10 mm ties.

Problem 3:

Design a round spiral column to support an axial

dead load of 800 kN and an axial live load 1350
kN, Assume 3 % longitudinal steel limit. Use
f’c=27.6 MPa and fy=414 MPa. Use 25 mm main
bars and 10 mm spiral with 40 mm steel
covering.
