Circular column design  C12

Circular column design by PROKON. (CirCol Ver W2.5.06 - 01 Sep 2011)

Design code : BS8110 - 1997

General design parameters: 750


Y
Given:
d = 600 mm 500
d' = 75 mm
Lo = 1.000 m X X
250
fcu = 40 MPa
fy = 460 MPa

diax' = dia - d'


= 600 - 75
= 525.000 mm

diay' = dia - d'


= 600 - 75
= 525.000 mm

Assumptions:
(1) The general conditions of clause 3.8.1 are applicable.
(2) The section is symmetrically reinforced.
(3) The specified design axial loads include the self-weight of the column.
(4) The design axial loads are taken constant over the height of the column.

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 is determined .
(3) The steel required for the design axial force and moment is read from the
relevant design chart.
(4) The area steel perpendicular to the design axis is read from the relevant
design chart.

Check column slenderness:


End fixity and bracing for bending about the X-X axis:
At the top end: Condition 1 (fully fixed).
At the bottom end: Condition 1 (fully fixed).
The column is unbraced.
\ ßx = 1.20 Table 3.22

End fixity and bracing for bending about the Y-Y axis:
At the top end: Condition 1 (fully fixed).
At the bottom end: Condition 1 (fully fixed).
The column is unbraced.
\ ßy = 1.20 Table 3.22

Effective column height:

lex = ßx. Lo
= 1.2 ×1
= 1.200 m

ley = ßy. Lo
= 1.2 ×1
= 1.200 m

Minimum Moments for Design:


Check for mininum eccentricity: 3.8.2.4
Check that the eccentricity exceeds the minimum in the plane of bending:
Use emin = 20mm

Mmin = emin. N
= .02 ×0
= 0.0000×100 kNm

Check if the column is slender: 3.8.1.3

lx = 2.0 < 10

ly = 2.0 < 10

\ The column is short.

Initial moments:
The initial end moments about the X-X axis:
M1 = Smaller initial end moment = 0.0 kNm
M2 = Larger initial end moment = 238.1 kNm

The initial moment near mid-height of the column : 3.8.3.7

Mi = - 0.4 . M1 + 0.6 . M2
= - 0.4 ×0 + 0.6 ×238.06
= 142.836 kNm

Mi2 = 0.4 . M2
= 0.4 ×238.06
= 95.224 kNm

\ Mi ³ 0.4M2 = 238.1 kNm

The initial end moments about the Y-Y axis:


M1 = Smaller initial end moment = 0.0 kNm
M2 = Larger initial end moment = 0.0 kNm

The initial moment near mid-height of the column : 3.8.3.7

Mi = - 0.4 . M1 + 0.6 . M2
= - 0.4 ×0 + 0.6 ×0
= 0.0000×100 kNm

Mi2 = 0.4 . M2
= 0.4 ×0
= 0.0000×100 kNm
