Design Data

Column dimension along y-dir, D = 350 mm

Column dimension along x-dir, B = 350 mm

Main Bar size, db = 12 mm

Secondary Bar size, dt = 10 mm

Clear concrete cover, c = 40 mm

Ultimate Axial Load, Pu = 91.73 kN

Computation of Reinforcements

Po = Pu / Æ 0.80 = kN

Ag = B*D = mm2

Po = Ag[0.85Fc'(1-ρg) + ρgFy]

ρg = ≈

As = ρg*Ag = mm2

n = As/p*db2/4 = ≈

Computation of Capacity

Asact = n*p*db2/4 = mm2

Pcap = Æ 0.80[ 0.85Fc'(Ag-Asact) + AsactFy]

Pcap = kN

Spacing of ties

Maximum spacing of ties

a. S = 16db = 192 mm

b. S = 48dt = 480 mm

c. S = least dimension = 350 mm

Use S = 192 mm

Spacing of ties from footing or slab =

Maximum of S/2 from the S above = 240 mm

Design Data

Column dimension along x-dir, B = 350 mm

Column dimension along y-dir, D = 350 mm

Main Bar size, db = 12 mm

Secondary Bar size, dt = 10 mm

Clear concrete cover, c = 40 mm

Ultimate Axial Load, Pu = 91.73 kN

Ultimate Moment Along x-axis, Mux = 66.14 kN-m

Ultimate Moment Along y-axis, Muy = 50.27 kN-m

Computation of Eccentricities

eall = 0.1B = 35 mm

ex = Mux/Pu = 721.029 mm

ey = Muy/Pu = 548.021 mm

x = ex + (B/2 - c - dt - db/2) = 840.029 mm

y = ey + (D/2 - c - dt - db/2) = 667.021 mm

Computation of Reinforcements

Consider x-direction

From the stress diagram

When ey = 0
###
Pnx = Pn = Pu/Æ = 131.043 kN a
### 6.000
∑Fv = 0 a 5.000

For a balanced condition: Fy = Fs' = Fs

###
Pnx + AsFy = 0.85Fc'ab + AsFy a2
###
a = Pnx/0.85Fc'b = 15.959 mm

∑Mo = 0

Pnx(x) = 0.85Fc'ab(d-a/2) + AsFy(d-d')

As = 610.07478 mm2 56

n = As/p*db2/4 = 5.394 pcs. ≈ 6 pcs. (both sides)

Check for Column Integrity

Consider x-direction

From the strain diagram

(εy + 0.003)/d = 0.003/c

Fy/200000 + 0.003 = 0.003d/c

c = 600d/(600 + Fy) = 160.364 mm

a = βc = 136.309 mm

From the stress diagram

∑Fv = 0

Pnx + AsFy = 0.85Fc'ab + AsFy

Pnx = 0.85Fc'ab = 1119.234 kN 294

238
Mcapx = 0.85Fc'ab(d-a/2) + AsFy(d-d') = 333.526 kN-m 294

Consider y-direction

From the strain diagram

(εy + 0.003)/d = 0.003/c

Fy/200000 + 0.003 = 0.003d/c

c = 600d/(600 + Fy) = 160.364 mm

a = βc = 136.309 mm

From the stress diagram

∑Fh = 0

Pny + AsFy = 0.85Fc'ab + AsFy

Pny = 0.85Fc'ab = 1119.234 kN

Mcapy = 0.85Fc'ab(d-a/2) + AsFy(d-d') = 306.608 kN-m

Bresler Load Contour Equation

(Mnx/Mcapx)α + (Mny/Mcapy)α ≤ 1.0

where α = 1.24

0.375 < 1.0 OK!

Spacing of ties

Maximum spacing of ties
