CoimbatoreIntroduction
> A column with axial load and biaxial bending is commonly found in
structures because of two major reasons:
“Axial load may have natural eccentricities, though small, with
respect to both the axes.
Corner columns of a building may be subjected to bending
moments in both the directions along with axial load
Examples
|) External fagade columns under combined vertical and horizontal
load
2)Beams supporting helical or free-standing stairs or oscillating and
rotary machinery are subjected to biaxial bending with or without
axial load of either compressive or tensile stress.Biaxial Eccentricities
> Every column should be treated as being 9 2-™? \
subjected to axial compression along with 7
biaxial bending by considering possible
eccentricities of the axial load with respect
to both the major axis(xx-axis) as well as Ds ,
minor axis (y-axis). oh xe,
> These eccentricities, designated as e, and
e with respect of x and y axes, may be cece
atleast e,, though in majority of cases of — ix! eccentricities
biaxial bending, these may be much more
then e,,)
These two moments My and My about the two axes
can be resolved into a single resultant moment M, about an axis r-r inclined to the
two axes as under =
Mu = V Mix + Mi
Alternatively, the two eccentricities ¢, (= My/P,) and e,(=M,y/P,) can be resolved
into a resultant eccentricity e¢(=M,/P,), given by (Fig.d)
e=Vatra
The resultant eccentricity (e) is inclined at an angle 6 with the y-axis, given by
O=un'&
e
‘The resultant axis of bending is perpendicular to the line joining the point of loading
(P,) to the centroid of the section, as shown in Fig. (d). The neutral axis (Fig.
@ will generally not be parallel to the axis of bending. The method of locating
the position of N.A., by trial and error, is very tedious and laborious.Method Suggested by I$ 456-2000
> The method set out in clause 39.6 of the code is based on an
assumed failure surface that extends the axial load-moment
diagram (P-M) for single axis bending in three dimensions.
Such an approach is also known as Breslar's Load contour
method,

6Design of Column
Step-l-Assume the cross-section of the column and the area of
reinforcement along with its distribution, based on moment M,
given by equation = Mu=@V Mix + Miy
where a may vary between 1.10 to .20- lower of a
for higher axial loading (P./P,)
Step-2- Compute P, either using Equation or chart. Find ratio of
P/P.
Step-2- Determine Uniaxial Moment Capacities M, and M,
combined with axial load P.. using Appropriate Interaction
curves(Design charts) for case of column subjected to axial
load (P, ) and Uniaxial Moment.Step-4-Compute the values of M,/M,,and M,/M,, from chart 64 of
uu
SP-I6, Find the permissible value of M,/M,, corresponding top
the above values of M,/M, and P./P. If actual value of M./M,,
is more than the above value found from chart 64 of SP 6, the
assumed section is unsafe and needs revision. Even if the
assumed value is over safe, it needs revision for the sake of
economy.
a!Simplified method as per BS8ll0
As per BS 8110, a column subjected to P,,M,, and My, can be designed for uniaxial
bending corresponding to (Py, Mux’) or (Py, My’) depending upon the following conditions.
Condition 1. When My./d,>Myy/dy, My’ controls the design, where
Mat! = Mux + 0 Myy
Tes
Condition 2, When My/d,Myy/dy, My’ controls the design, where
Mat! = Mux + 0 Myy
Tes
Condition 2, When My/d,
