Assignment – Columns

1. Design an exterior column in a frame based on the following seismic analysis results.
The factored maximum axial force (Pu) is 475.6 kN, factored maximum bending
moment(Mux) is 203.3 kNm and factored maximum shear force (Vu) is 77.88 kN.
The moment of resistance of the beam at the joint in sagging and hogging are 300.75
kNm and 100.28kNm respectively. Size of column (bxD) is 300x530mm. Storey
height is 4m. Available main bars are of 20mm diameter. Design and detail the
column. Use M20 grade concrete and Fe415 steel. (20)

2. Design and sketch the special confining reinforcement for an exterior corner column
in ground floor of a multistorey reinforced concrete frame. Size of column is
450x450mm.The column has an unsupported length of 3m. Clear cover is 40mm.
Longitudinal reinforcement consists of 8 bars of 20mm ɸ and 8 bars of 25mm ɸ
provided equally on all four faces. Use M25 grade concrete and Fe415 steel.
