This document provides information for two design questions regarding slender columns. Question 1 asks to design column C3 in a no-sway frame subjected to dead and live loads. Service load values are provided. The column experiences double curvature under dead loads and single curvature under live loads. Question 2 asks to consider the same building frame but acting as a sway frame without bracing. Reinforcement details and results of an elastic analysis under wind loads are given. Column C3 is to be designed for the critical loading condition.

RCD-II ASSIGNMENT # 01

NUTECH ID : F20601018
Question No 1: Design of a slender column in a no sway frame. Figure 9.14 shows an
elevation view of multistory concrete frame building, with 48 in. wide × 12 in. deep beams
on all column lines, carrying two-way slab floors and roof. The clear height of the columns
is 13 ft. Interior columns are tentatively dimensioned at 18 × 18 in., and exterior columns
at 16 × 16 in. The frame is effectively braced against sway by stair and elevator shafts
having concrete walls that are monolithic with the floors, located in the building corners
(not shown in the figure). The structure will be subjected to vertical dead and live loads.
Trial calculations by first-order analysis indicate that the pattern of live loading shown in
Fig. 9.14, with full load distribution on roof and upper floors and a checkerboard pattern
adjacent to column C3, produces maximum moments with single curvature in that
column, at nearly maximum axial load. Dead loads Act on all spans. Service load values of
dead and live load axial force and moments for the typical interior column C3 are as
follows:

Dead load

P = 230 +18 kips = 248 kips

M₂ = 2 + 18 ft.-kips = 20 ft.-kips

M₁ = -2 - 18 ft.-kips = -20 ft.-kips

Live Load

P = 173 + 18 kips = 191 kips

M₂= 108 + 18 ft.-kips = 126 ft.-kips

M₁ = 100 + 18ft-kips = 118 ft.-kips

The column is subjected to double curvature under dead load alone and single curvature
under live load.
Design column C3, using the ACI moment magnifier method. Use f = 4000 psi and f =
60,000 psi.
Question No 2:

Design of a slender column in a sway frame. Consider now that the concrete building
frame of Example 9.1 acts as a sway frame, without the stairwells or elevator shafts
described earlier. An initial evaluation is carried out using the member dimensions and
reinforcement given in Example 9.1. The reinforcement for the interior 18 × 18 in.
columns, shown in Fig. 9.15, consists of four No. 10 (No. 32) bars at the corners and four
No. 9 (No. 29) bars at the center of each side. Reinforcement for the exterior 16 × 16 in,
columns consists of eight No. 8 (No. 25) bars distributed in a manner similar to that shown
for the longitudinal reinforcement in Fig. 9.15. The building will be subjected to gravity
dead and live loads and horizontal wind loads. Elastic first-order analysis of the frame at
service loads (all load factors = 1.0) using the values of E and I defined in Section 9.5 gives
the following results at the third story:

To simplify the analysis in this example, roof loads will not be considered. The relative
lateral deflection for the third story under total wind shear Vwind 55 kips is 0.76 in.
Column C3 is to be designed for the critical loading condition, using f 4000 psi and
f=60,000 psi as before.
