Note:
The design load of axially loaded short column is calculated when the
minimum Eccentricity does not exceed 0.05 times the lateral dimension of
column using the formula
Pu=0.4 fck As +0.67 f y Asc where Pu is Factored Axial load on the member
Ac = Area of concrete
Asc =Area of longitudinal reinforcement

2)

Based on the above formula and charts given in Design Aid to IS 456 1978
The value of Pu/Ag fck =0.4 + p/100{ 0.67 fy/ fck 0.4} can be found out
and tabulated in the above form.
