Column Analysis

Example:

Column size = 1200 x 600 P = 2600 kN 𝑀𝑢 = 2300 kNm

Try NA axis = 125mm 𝑑1 = 60 mm d = 540 m

𝜀𝑠1 = Corresponding steel strain in compressive steel = . 0035 (1 − 125) . 00182 < 1.15𝑥200𝑥103 =

Steel does not yield. Hence stress in steel = . 00182 𝑥 200 𝑥 103 = 364 𝑀𝑃𝑎

Tensile steel = 𝜀𝑠 = .0035 (125 − 1) = .01162 > .002174
Tensile Steel yields

For M60 concrete 𝑓𝑎𝑣 = 21.69 𝑀𝑃𝑎 𝛽 = 0.416
𝑁 = 𝑓𝑎𝑣 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑓1𝑠 𝐴1𝑠 – 𝑓𝑠 𝐴𝑠
Assume 𝐴𝑠 and NA axis and get 𝐴11 𝑠 or assume compression steel and get NA axis.
Taking Moments about the centre line.

If the reinforcement is yielding then 𝑓𝑠1 and 𝑓𝑠 can be changed to fyd
M should be grater then applied moment.
