BS 8110: 1 INTERIOR COLUMN DESIGN

1997 The internal critical column under consideration is the one on grid; 3B
& Assumption; the column is concentrically loaded hence,
BS 6399

Cl.3.8.4.3 N= 0.45fcu. Ac +0.8 fy. Asc

The column height = 3300 – 600 = 2700 mm

Ground floor height = 3300 mm
Cl.3.8.1.6
Other floors = 3150 mm
Table 3.19
450 x 450 mm column size
Table 3.20 Lo = 2700 mm
Moments
Lo = 2700 mm
β = 1.2
Le = β x lo

But β = 1.2
Le = 3240 mm
= 1.2 x 2700
= 3240 mm

Therefore;

Lex 3240 Lex

= = 7.2 = 7.2
h 450 h

Ley 3240 Ley

= = 7.2 = 7.2
h 450 h

Loadings
Dead load
Ground floor self-weight = (0.45 x 0.45 x2.7) x24 =13.12KN
1ST – 14TH Floor = 0.45 x 0.45 x 2.4 x24 x 16 = 209.95 KN

Beam loadings
= (3(27.77) x 5.38
2
+)(7.42 x 1.4
2 )=229.29 KN
For 16 floors = 229.29 x 16 = 3668.64KN
Total loading on column N N = 3,891.79
= (3668.95 + 209.95 +13.12) = 3,891.79 KN KN

N= 0.45fcu. Ac +0.8 fy. Asc

3,891.79 x 103 = (0.4 x24 x Ac) + (0.8 x 500 x Asc)
 But Ac =Ag – Asc
3,891.79 x 103 = 9.6(Ag – Asc) +400Asc

3,891.79 x 103 = 9.6[(0.45x0.45) – Asc) +400Asc]

1947790 = 390.4Asc Asc = 4989.22
Asc = 4989.22 mm2 mm2
Try T32;
3.14 x 32 x 32
= =804.25 mm2
4

Cl. 3.12.7 Provide 6T32 mm (As prov = 4825.45 mm2 )

(5241.96 – 4825.49) = 416.47 mm

Try T16
3.14 x 16 x 16
=201.06 mm2
4

Provide 2T16 mm (As prov = 402 mm2 )

Links

0.25 x 32 = 8 mm

Provide T10 Links

Spacing should not be lesser of

a) 12 times the smallest longitudinal bar = 12 x 32 = 384 mm

b) The smallest cross section dimension of the column i.e 450 mm

Provide T10@250 c/c

Cross section adequacy;

5241.96
( ¿ x 100=2.59 %
450 x 450
0.4% < 2.59% < 6%
Hence the cross section is sufficient
