General column design by PROKON. (GenCol Ver W3.1.04 - 13 May 2019)

Design code : Eurocode 2 - 2004


Eurocode
Y 2 - 2004
General design parameters:
Given:
l = 5.600 m
fck = 28 MPa
fy = 500 MPa
Ac = 4184033 mm²

Assumptions: X X
(1) The general conditions of clause 5.8.8.2 are applicable.
(2) The specified design axial loads include
the self-weight of the column.
(3) 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 are determined .
(3) The design axial force and moment capacity is checked on
the relevant design chart.
(4) The procedure is repeated for each load case.
(5) The critical load case is identified as the case yielding the lowest
safety factor about the design axis

Through inspection:
Load case 7 is critical.

Check column slenderness:


End fixity and bracing for bending about the Design axis:
The column is braced.

Effective length factor ß = 0.75

Effective column height:

lo = ß . l

General column design by PROKON. (GenCol Ver W3.1.04 - 13 May 2019)

Design code : Eurocode 2 - 2004


Eurocode
Y 2 - 2004
General design parameters:
Given:
l = 5.600 m
fck = 28 MPa
fy = 500 MPa
Ac = 4184033 mm²

Assumptions: X X
(1) The general conditions of clause 5.8.8.2 are applicable.
(2) The specified design axial loads include
the self-weight of the column.
(3) 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 are determined .
(3) The design axial force and moment capacity is checked on
the relevant design chart.
(4) The procedure is repeated for each load case.
(5) The critical load case is identified as the case yielding the lowest
safety factor about the design axis

Through inspection:
Load case 7 is critical.

Check column slenderness:


End fixity and bracing for bending about the Design axis:
The column is braced.

Effective length factor ß = 0.75

Effective column height:

lo = ß . l

Moment distribution along the height of the column for bending about the design axis:

The final design moments were calculated as the vector sum of the X- and Y- moments
of the critical load case. This also determined the design axis direction
