Design of a Column in Ground Floor

Load on the Column:


( 3.34*14.5/2) + (3.16*15.17/2) + (2.9*13/2) +
(2.99*13.67/2)

>>

87.47 kip ( For Each floor )

Self weight of the column :


1*2.5*108*150
>> 40.5 kip
>> (40.5*1.4)
>> 56.7 kip

Total load on the Column: 87.47*10 + 56.7


>> 931.4 kip

According to ACI Code,


For, Tied column: = 0.65

Pu = 0.8[0.85fc(Ag - Ast)
+ fyAst]
Considering, = 0.03 ; So, Ast = 0.03Ag
>>

931.4

0.65*0.8[0.85*3.5(Ag 0.03Ag)] + 60*0.03Ag


>> Ag = 382.25 in2
Considering, Ag = 360

in2

Then the required steel area comes,


931.4 = 0.65*0.8*0.85*3.5*360 - 0.65*0.8*0.85*3.5A st
+ 0.65*0.8*60Ast
>> Ast

12.63
