DESIGN OF COLUMNS

BASIC DIMENSIONS: (For group 1)

Load = 714.927 kN
𝑓𝑐𝑘 = 25 Mpa

𝑓𝑦 = 415 mpa

b = 230 mm
d = 450 mm
𝑀𝑥 = 20.92 kNm

𝑀𝑦 = 0.644 kNm

EQUIVALENT DIMENSIONS:

𝑴𝒆 = 1.15 √𝑀𝑥 2 + 𝑀𝑦 2

= 1.15 √20.922 + 0.6442

= 24.06 kNm.

CHECK FOR SAFETY UNDER BIAXIAL BENDING:
𝟏.𝟐
𝑴𝒙 𝟏.𝟐 𝑴𝒚
[ ] +[ ] ≤1
𝑴𝒙𝟏 𝑴𝒚𝟏

20.92 1.2 0.644 1.2

[ ] + [ ] ≤1

0.3 ≤1
Therefore it is safe under bi axial bending
