Solution:
As per the clause E-2 of Annex E of IS 456:2000, in page- 92, in order to a column to
be a sway column its stability index value has to be greater than 0.04.
Hence, ‘B’ is the correct choice.
Solution:
As per the ‘Note’ of the clause 39.7.1 of IS 456:2000, page 72, in case of a braced
column, lateral stability of the structure as whole is provided by walls or bracing.
Hence, the option ‘C’ is the correct choice.

Solution:
Given data,
Grade of concrete = M20
Grade of steel = Fe415
Area of steel, Asc = 8x𝜋𝑟 2 = 8x𝜋x82 = 1608.5 mm2
Area of concrete, Ac = 400x450 – 1608.5 = 178391.5 mm2

6. A square column is subjected to an axial compression and moment about one axis. The
column having gross cross-sectional dimension 450mm × 450mm is reinforced with 6
nos. 16 mm dia. bars divided equally in any two opposite sides parallel to the axis about
which a uniaxial moment is acting. If clear cover is 40 mm and position of neutral axis
is at 500 mm away from the highly compressed edge, what would be the maximum
strain in the reinforcement located near the highly compressed edge as per the limit
state method in IS456:2000:
A. 5.953x10-3
