RC Column Design (BS8110) - Part2

This document contains calculations for the reinforcement of a short column with single axis bending about the major axis. Key details include: - The column has a height of 600mm and width of 300mm - The main reinforcement consists of 2 bars of 20mm diameter each, providing a total steel area of 1256.6mm2 - The column is designed to resist an axial load of 10kN and bending moment of 10kNm about the major axis - Checks are performed to ensure the steel yields in tension before the concrete crushes in compression

BS8110:Table 3.19
Effective height – minor axis; ley = y  lo = 2.250 m
Slenderness check; ley/b = 7.50
The braced column is short (minor axis)

Short column - single axis bending (major axis)


Define column reinforcement
Main reinforcement in column
Assumed diameter of main reinforcement; Dcol = 20 mm
Assumed no. of bars in one face (assumed sym); Lncol = 2
Area of "tension" steel; Ast = Lncol    Dcol2 / 4 = 628 mm2
Area of compression steel; Asc = Ast = 628 mm2
Total area of steel ; Ascol =   Dcol2 / 4  2  (Lncol + (Lncol -2)) = 1256.6 mm2
Percentage of steel; Ascol / (b  h) = 0.7 %

Design ultimate loading


Design ultimate axial load; N = 10 kN
Design ultimate moment (major axis); Mx = 10 kNm
Minimum design moments
Min design moment; Mxmin = min(0.05  h, 20 mm)  N = 0.2 kNm

Design moments
Design moment; Mdesign = max (abs(Mx) , Mxmin) = 10.0 kNm
Set up section dimensions for design:-
Section depth; D = h = 600 mm
Depth to "tension" steel; d = h' = 545 mm
Section width; B = b = 300 mm
Library item - Calcs – short col N+Mmaj

Check of design forces - symmetrically reinforced section

NOTE
Note:- the section dimensions used in the following calculation are:-
Section width (parallel to axis of bending); B = 300 mm
Section depth perpendicular to axis of bending); D = 600 mm
Depth to "tension" steel (symmetrical); d = 545 mm
Tension steel yields
Determine correct moment of resistance
NR =ceiling(if(xcalc<D/0.9, NR1 , NR2 ),0.001kN) = 10.0 kN

MR = ceiling(if(xcalc<D/0.9, MR1 , MR2 ) ,0.001kNm) = 143.4 kNm


Applied axial load; N = 10.0 kN
Check for moment; Mdesign = 10.0 kNm
Moment check satisfied

Check min and max areas of steel


Total area of concrete; Aconc = b  h = 180000 mm2
Area of steel (symmetrical); Ascol = 1257 mm2
Minimum percentage of compression reinforcement; kc = 0.40 %
