Assumptions:
(1) The general conditions of clause 3.8.1 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.

Given:
Lo = 4.000 m
fcu = 70 MPa
fy = 460 MPa
Ac = 244980 mm

(4) The specified concrete strength> 60 MPa; therefore

the following additional adjustments were made as per Concrete Society Technical Report 49:
"Design guidance for high strength concrete"
(4.1) Concrete strain limited to 0.0035-(fcu-60)/50000) = 0.0033; fcu in MPa
(4.2) Minimum reinforcement > 0.4+0.01(fcu-60)% ; fcu in MPa

3.1.3
3.1.7 b)

Design approach:
The column is designed using the following procedure:
(1) The column design charts are constructed.
(2) The design axis and design ultimate moment are determined .
(3) The design axial force and moment capacity is checked on
the relevant design chart.
(4) The procedure is repeated for each load case.
(5) The critical load case is identified as the case yielding the lowest
safety factor about the design axis
Through inspection:
Load case 3 (Axial+Mxx) is critical.

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 3 (pinned).
The column is braced.
Effective length factor = 1.00
Effective column height:
le = . Lo
= 1 4
= 4.000 m

Design

Design of column section for ULS:

The column is checked for applied moment about the design axis.
Through inspection: the critical section lies at the top end of the column.
The design axis for the critical load case 3 lies at an angle of 39.14 to the X-axis
The safety factor for the critical load case 3 is 1.03

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 = 242.4 kNm
Near mid-height, Mx = 153.0 kNm
At the bottom, Mx = 0.0 kNm
