DUCTILE REINFORCEMENT-SUBMERGED COLUMNS

As per IS 13920:2016 clase: 8.1 the area of cross section, Ash, of the bar forming
rectangular links, to be used as special confining reinforcement shall be maximum of
fck Ag

Ash = 0.09 Sv D k 1

Ash = 0.024 Sv Dk
fy
Ash = area of the bar cross section.
S = Spacing of links
fck = characteristic compressive strength of concrete.
fy = yield stress of steel.
Dk = Diametre of core of circular column measured to outside of spiral/linl
Ag = gross area of column.
Ak = area of concrete core

Dia of column 380

fck = M 30
fy = Fe 500

Clear Cover to
logitudinal reinforcement 40 mm

Dia of links 8 mm

Dk = 380 - 2 x 40 + 2 x 8
= 316 mm

Sv = smaller of (i) 380 4 95 mm

Min.of Sub. (ii) 6 x 16 96 mm

(iii) 100 mm

Ak = 78426.72 mm

Ash = 68.51 mm

Ash = 40.95 mm

Max Ash = 68.51 mm

Dia of link 6.6 mm

So provide 8 mm dia rect. link @ 90 mm c/c

lo = Maximum of (i) 380 mm

(ii) 1/6 x 5.75 0.96 mm

(iii) 450 mm
.
. . Lo = 450 mm

Provide 8 mm dia links @ 90 mm c/c near the joints for a distance of 450mm
