example 3.9 - design of short column subjected to uniaxial bending
TRANSCRIPT
COLUMN SUPPORTING AN AXIAL LOAD AND UNIAXIAL BENDING EXAMPLE 3.9
An internal column sized 300 x 300 mm in a multi-storey building is subjected to an ultimate
axial load (NEd) of 1600 kN and bending moment, M of 60 kNm including the effect of
imperfections.
Design the column assuming fck = 30 N/mm2, fyk = 500 N/mm2 and nominal cover, c = 30 mm.
Solution:
1. Check the design moment, MEd.
Moment due to geometric imperfections, Mimp = ei. NEd
ei = max { lo/400, h/30, 20} mm
No need to calculate Mimp since it has already been considered.
2. Design of main reinforcement.
Use the design chart
a) Calculate d value.
Assume bar = 25 mm and link = 8 mm
d = h – c - link - bar/2
= 300 – 30 – 8 – 25/2 = 249.5 mm
b) Calculate d/h (to determine the chart to be used)
d/h = 249.5 / 300 = 0.83 0.85
c) Calculate N/bhfck and M/bh2fck

d) Determine the value of Asfyk / bhfck from the chart (point where the lines intersect).
From the chart,
Therefore, provide: 4H25 (1960 mm2)
e) Check the reinforcement provided with the minimum and maximum requirement.
As,max = 0.04 Ac = 0.04 (3002) = 3600 mm2
As,min (368) < As,prov (1960) < As,max (3600) OK!

3. Design links
a) Minimum link diameter = max { 6 mm, ¼ of the maximum longitudinal bar diameter)
i) 6 mm
ii) ¼ bar = ¼ (25) = 6.25 mm
Use: 8 mm
b) Maximum link spacing, scl,tmax
The least of:
i) 20 bar = 20 x 25 = 500 mm
ii) Lesser dimension of the column = 300 mm
iii) 400 mm
Provide spacing, scl,tmax = 300 mm
Therefore, for the links, provide H8 – 300 c/c spacing.
