Assignment 2

This document contains 7 questions related to the design of reinforced concrete columns. The questions involve calculating reinforcement quantities for columns subjected to axial loads and bending moments. Designs are to be done using column design charts and assuming C-25 or C-30 concrete and S-400 or S-300 steel reinforcement. Columns have specified dimensions ranging from 300x300mm to 500x500mm. Reinforcement quantities are to be determined to resist axial and moment loads from pinned or fixed end conditions. Non-sway and sway frame conditions are also addressed. Solutions are to be submitted by May 31, 2019.
