AXIAL LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY OF COLUMN BASED ON PERCENTAGE

OF REINFORCEMENT AND COLUMN SIZE FOR VARIOUS MIXES AND STEEL

Steel Grade Fy 415

CONCRETE GRADE Axial Load carrying Capacity in KN (P)

M20 P= (2.7005 p + 8) b D/1500
M25 P= (2.6805 p + 10) b D/1500
M30 P= (2.6605 p + 12) b D/1500
M35 P= (2.6405 p + 14) b D/1500
M40 P= (2.6205 p + 16) b D/1500

Steel Grade Fy 500

CONCRETE GRADE Axial Load carrying Capacity in KN (P)

M20 P= (3.27 p + 8) b D/1500
M25 P= (3.25 p + 10) b D/1500
M30 P= (3.23 p + 12) b D/1500
M35 P= (3.21 p + 14) b D/1500
M40 P= (3.19 p + 16) b D/1500

Steel Grade Fy 550

CONCRETE GRADE Axial Load carrying Capacity in KN (P)

M20 P= (3.605 p + 8) b D/1500
M25 P= (3.585 p + 10) b D/1500
M30 P= (3.565 p + 12) b D/1500
M35 P= (3.545 p + 14) b D/1500
M40 P= (3.525 p + 16) b D/1500

Note :-
1. The axial Load carrying capacity column(Working load) is arrived based on the
formula
Pu =0.4 fck Ac + 0.67 fy Asc as per IS 456-2000.
2. Here in the Table P is Axial Load Carrying capacity of column in KN.
p is steel in percentage say percentage as 1
b is breadth of column in mm
D is depth of column in mm.

3. The derivation of formula is as given below:

The Ultimate load carrying capacity of column is given by
Pu=0.4 fck Ac +0.67 fy Asc
Pu = 0.4fck(bD-p bD)+0.67 fy p bD
1.5
 For M20 with fy 415 steel
P = bD [ 0.4 x 20 (1-p)+0.67 x415 p ]
1.5
=bD [8-8 p+278.05p] N
P= bD [2.7005p+8] in KN
1.5x10 3

P =[2.7005p+8] bD/1500 for M20 with fy 415 steel

For M25 deduct 0.02 in the first term on right side and add 2 with constant value of 8.
Similarly for every next mix M30, M35 and M40 deduct 0.02 and add 2 from previous
value.
