DESIGN OF AXIALLY LOADED RC COLUMN
Reference Code : NSCP 2015 First Printing
Column ID : C01

Materials Properties and Design Information:

Compressive strength of concrete [f'c] = 21 N/mm²
Yield strength of reinforcement [fy] = 250 N/mm²
NSCP Code Requirements:
Concrete cover to reinforcement [cc]= 40 mm
409.4.2.2 Reduction factor for compression controlled section [Øa] = 0.65
409.4.2.3 Reduction factor for shear and torsion [Øv] = 0.75
410.10.1 Min. steel ratio [pmin] = 1.0 %
410.10.1 Max. steel ratio [pmax] = 4.0 %
407.11.5.2 Maximum vertical spacing of ties, min. of [16db, 48dt, x] = 256 mm
407.7.3 Minimum clear spacing b/n main reinforcement, max of (1.5db,40) [smin] = 40 mm
407.11.5.3 Maximum clear spacing b/n main reinforcement [smax] = 150 mm
Design Forces and Section Properties:
Ultimate axial load Pu = 100 kN
Ultimate shear force along X-X Vux = 25 kN
Ultimate shear force along Y-Y Vuy = 25 kN

Check for Axial Capacity;
Gross area of section [Ag] = 150000 mm2
Area of main reinforcement [Ast] = 4423 mm2
Axial capacity, Ø0.80[ 0.85fc'(Ag - Ast) + fyAst] [Pcap] = 1926.3 kN
Safety factor for Axial, Pcap/Pu [FOS] = 19.3 > 1.0, Safe Design!
Check for Shear Capacity:
Effective depth along X-X [dx] = 442.0 mm
Effective depth along Y-Y [dy] = 242.0 mm
408.7.1 Concrete strength modification factor [λ] = 1.0
411.4.1.2 Concrete shear capacity, 0.17[1 + (Nu/14Ag)]λ sqrt[f'c] bd x [Vcx] = 180.4 kN
411.6.6 Tie shear capacity, Av fy dx /s [Vsx] = 57.9 kN
Total shear capacity of section along X-X, Øv(Vcx + Vsx) Vcap,x = 178.7 kN
Safety factor for Shear Along X-X, Vcap,x/Vu [FOS] = 7.1 > 1.0, Safe Design!
411.4.1.2 Concrete shear capacity, 0.17[1 + (Nu/14Ag)]λ sqrt[f'c] bd y [Vcy] = 59.3 kN
411.6.6 Tie shear capacity, Av fy dy /s [Vsy] = 31.7 kN
Total shear capacity of section along Y-Y, Øv(Vcy + Vsy) Vcap,y = 68.2 kN
Safety factor for Shear Along Y-Y, Vcap,y/Vu [FOS] = 2.7 > 1.0, Safe Design!
Check Code Requirements:
Actual spacing of main reinforcement along X-X = 42.7 mm OK!
Actual spacing of main reinforcement along Y-Y = 92.0 mm OK!
Actual reinforcement ratio [ρ] = 2.95 % OK!

Therefore, use 500mm x 300 mm column with 22 Nos. of 16mm main bars and 10mm @ 150mm o.c. ties.
