Tributary Area = L x W T.A. = 18 m
Longitudinal = 6 m
Transverse = 3 m
2.1 Axial Loads at 2nd Floor

2.1.1 Weight of slab WS = 51.84 kN

Thickness of slab tS = 0.100 m

 2.1.2 Weight of beam Wb = 25.92 kN

Total Length of Beams LB = 9 m

2
Area of beam AB = 0.1 m

2.1.3 Weight of Super-Imposed Dead Load SDL = 45.576 kN

2.1.4 Weight of Live Load LL = 92.16 kN

2.1.5 Weight of Column WC = 11.1456 kN

Height Ht = 4.3 m

2.1.6 Total Weight Carried by 2nd floor Column PU1 = 226.6416 kN

W T = S of weights(2nd flr)

2.3 Axial Loads at Roof Beam

2.2.1 Weight of beam Wb = 22.68 kN

Total Length of Beams LB = 9 m

2
Area of beam AB = 0.0875 m

2.2.3 Weight of Super-Imposed Dead Load SDL = 45.576 kN

2.2.4 Weight of Live Load LL = 92.16 kN

2.2.5 Weight of Column WC = 8.9424 kN

Height Ht = 3.45 m

2.2.6 Total Weight Carried by 2nd floor Column PU3 = 169.3584 kN

W T = S of weights(roof beam)

2.3 Ultimate Axial Load PU = 396 kN

PU = PU1 + PU2 + PU3

3.0 Analysis

Design Constants
Conc. Comp. Strength f'c = 30 Mpa
Rebar Yield Strength fy = 414 Mpa
Reduction factor f = 0.70
No. of Steel Bars n = 8

3.1 Check Capacity of Column

PUall = 0.80 * f * AG [.85 * f'c * (1/rG) + (rGfy)] Puall = 1635.144 kN
Since Puall > PU
Then Column are SAFE
rG = 0.017872 > 1%
< 8%
3.1.1 Check Steel Ratio
ract = Ast/Ag = 0.017872
rmax = 0.85f'cβ (600) = 0.030979
Fy (600 + Fy)
rmin = 1.4/Fy = 0.003381

rmin < ract < rmax Then Steel ratio is SAFE

3.2 Design of Lateral Ties

Using 10mm Lateral Ties, spacing "s" must be the least value of the 3 conditions set

3.2.1 16 * Longitudinal Bar Ø = 256 mm

3.2.2 48 * Lateral Tie Bar Ø = 480 mm

3.2.3 Least Column Size = 300 mm

Adopt 10mm Ø LATERAL TIES SPACED 3@0.05m,5@0.10m & THE REST @

0.15m
