STEP 1 : CALCULATION OF LOAD

 Given Data – G+1

 Height of floor – 3m

 Height of plinth – 0.45m above G.L.

 Size of beam – 0.2 × 0.3m

 Size of column – 0.2 × 0.4m

 External and internal wall thickness – 0.2m

 SBC of soil – 200 KN/m2

Plan[ representing selected column]........

Assuming :

 Live load on roof = 1.5 KN/m2

 Live load on floor = 3 KN/m2

 Floor finish load = 1 KN/m2

 Terrace water proofing = 0.8 KN/m2

 1. Load of roof slab
 Self weight = b × d × D × Dc
 0.125 × 25 = 3.13 KN/m2
 Live load
 1.5 KN/m2
 Floor finish load
 1 KN/m2
 Terrace water proofing
 0.8 KN/m2

Total Load = 6.43 KN/m2

Factored load total = 6.34 × 1.5

Wu = 9.64 KN/m2

2. Load of floor slab

 Self weight = b × d × D × Dc
 0.125 × 25 = 3.13 KN/m2
 Live load
 3 KN/m2
 Floor finish load
 1 KN/m2

Total Load = 7.13 KN/m2

Factored load total = 7.13 × 1.5

Wu = 10.7 KN/m2

3. Load of walls
 Height of wall = 3 – (depth of beam)

2|Page
  3 – 0.3 = 2.7 m
 Self weight of wall = 0.20 × 2.7 ×20
 10 KN/m

Total Load = 10.8 KN/m2

Factored load total = 10.8 × 1.5

Wu = 16.2 KN/m2

4. Load of beam
 Self weight ofbeam = 0.2 × 0.3 ×25
 1.5 KN/m

Total Load = 1.5 KN/m2

Factored load total = 1.5 × 1.5

Wu = 2.25 KN/m2

1. Floor area surrounded by column :

 Area = 4.4 × 5.1 =22.4 m2
2. Length of beam :
 2.5 + 2.5 + 2.2 + 2.2 = 9.4 m
3. Length of wall under beam :
 9.4 – 2.5 = 6.9 m

STEP 2 : LOAD ON COLUMN

1. Roof to 1st floor

 Roof load = 9.64 × 4.4 × 5.1
 216.3 KN
 Beam load = 1.5 × 9.4 Plan showing selected col.

 14.1 KN roof slab scenario

 Wall load = 16.2 × 6.9

 111.8 KN
Total Load = 342.2 KN

2. 1st floor to plinth

 Roof load = 10.7 × 2.5 × 4.4
 117.7 KN
 Beam load = 1.5 × 9.4 Plan showing selected col.

 14.1 KN 1st floor scenario

 Wall load = 16.2 × 6.9

 111.8 KN
Total Load = 243.6 KN

Load total = 342.2 + 111.8 = 585.8 ≈ 586

3. Between plinth beam & footing

 Beam load = 1.5 × 9.4 section showing all levels till footing

 14.1 KN
 Coloumn load = 0.2 × 0.4 × ( 3 × 2 +0.45 + 2.55 ) × 25
 18 KN
 Load from above structure
 586 KN

4|Page
 Total Load = 620 KN

STEP 3 : DESIGN OF R.C.C COLUMN

HERE –

o Load ( PU ) = 620 KN
o M-20 Concrete
o Fe 415 steel

PU = 620 × 103 = Ag ( 0.4 × 20 + 0.0067 × 415 )

= 620 × 103 = Ag ( 10.7 )

= Ag = 57943.9 mm2

;Considering rectangular section of-

 200 × 300 = 60,000 > 57943.9 mm2

a) Check for slenderness of column

effective length (le ) = K × unsupported length

le = 0.65 × 3.0

 = 1.95 = 1950 mm

le / least dim. Of column = 1950 / 200

= 9.75 mm

= 9.75 < 12

; hence, it is short column !

b) No. Of bars
Ast required = 1 % of Ag =1/100 × 60,000

 600 mm2

Providing 4 bars of 16 diameter = 804 mm2 > 600 mm2

5|Page
 c) Check for eccentricity
L/500 + D/30 = 1950/500 + 300/30

 13.2 < 20 mm
; safe

STEP 4 : DESIGN OF TIES

As per IS CODE : diameter of ties – ¼ × 16 or 6 mm

Say : 6 mm dia of ties .

Spacing of Ties :

As per code provision : the spacing of ties can be provided with least of three given
below –
a. Least lateral dimension of column = 200
b. 16 × diameter of main bar -
16 × 16 = 256
c. 300 mm.

Selecting least spacing as 200 mm c/c over the entire length of bar .
