1. Draw the interaction diagram for a given column below (Figure 1) if the column is made
up of C30/37 and S-500MPa, Show at least a minimum of 7points in the interaction
diagram. Take design yield strain of reinforcement is 0.002.

Figure 1: Question 1
2. A slender rectangular column 350x450mm has an unsupported length of 6m. It is
assumed that both ends of column restrained against rotation only so that effective length
may be taken approximately about 1.2 times unsupported length of column. Determine
the required longitudinal reinforcement if column has to carry a factored compressive
load of 375kN and factored moment of 50kN-m about the major axis by using
i. Nominal curvature
ii. Nominal stiffness.

Assume column part of un-braced building frame. Use: C-25MPa, S-400MPa,

3. For the planar frame shown in Figure 2. Design Column AB. Please refer the tables
below, for material property, dimension and load type.
Note :
 Use pattern loading for the design of Column AB.
 All dimensions are in mm unless specified

Beam Dimension (Depth X Width)

for:
 Ground Floor 350x250mm
 Use C25/30 Concrete  First Floor 500x400mm
 Roof 500x350mm
 Use S460 Rebar Column Dimension for all:
 Depth = 600mm
 Width = 350mm

4. Design a short column with unsupported length of 3.25 m and subjected to biaxial bending
for the following data : Effective lengths, Lez = 3m and Ley = 2.75m, size of column = 300
mm x350 mm, factored axial load, NED = 2200 kN, and factored moments, Muz =75 kNm
and Muy = 80kNm shown on figure 3. Assume C-30 concrete & S-415 steel. Use one of
biaxial charts if necessary.
