(1) The general conditions of clause 5.8.8.2 are applicable.
(2) The specified design axial loads include the self-weight of the column.
(3) The design axial loads are taken constant over the height of the column.

Design approach:
The column is designed using an iterative procedure:
(1) The column design charts are constructed.
(2) An area of reinforcement is chosen.
(3) The corresponding slenderness moments are calculated.
(4) The design axis and design ultimate moment are determined.
(5) The design axial force and moment capacity is checked on
the relevant design chart.
(6) The safety factor is calculated for this load case.

Check column slenderness:

End fixity and bracing for bending about the Design axis:
At the Top end : Condition 2 (partially fixed).
At the Bottom end : Condition 2 (partially fixed).
The column is unbraced.

Effective length factor ß = 1.00

Effective column height:

lo = ß . l

Thus:The column is slender.

Initial moments::
The column is bent in double curvature about the X-X axis:

M1 = Smaller initial end moment = -96.3 kNm

M2 = Larger initial end moment = 96.3 kNm

The initial moment near mid-height of the column : 5.8.8.2

Mi = 0.4 . M1 + 0.6 . M2
= 0.4 ×96.32 + 0.6 ×-96.32
= -19.2640 kNm

Mi2 = 0.4 . M2
= 0.4 ×-96.32
= -38.5280 kNm

Thus:Mi ³ 0.4M2 = -38.5 kNm

Mi = 0.4 . M1 + 0.6 . M2

Bending moment (kNm)

Moment distribution along the height of the column for bending about the design axis:

The final design moments were calculated as the vector sum of the X- and Y- moments
of the critical load case. This also determined the design axis direction

At the top, Mx = 152.5 kNm

Near mid-height, Mx = 82.6 kNm
At the bottom, Mx = 152.5 kNm
