Guide line for tie or spiral reinforcement

No. 3 bar for longitudinal bar up to No. 10

No. 4 bar above for longitudinal bar up to Nos. 11, 14, and 18 and
bundled longitudinal bars***.

The spacing of the ties shall not exceed 16 diameters of longitudinal

bars (16D), 48 diameters of tie bars (48d), nor the least dimension (T
min) of the column
Guide line for tie or spiral reinforcement

No bar shall be farther than 6 in. Clear on either side from such a
laterally supported bar
The ties shall be so arranged that every corner and alternate
longitudinal bar shall have lateral support provided by the corner of a
tie having an included angle of not more than 135.
Spirals shall be a continuous bar of not less than #3. The clear
spacing between turns of the spiral must not exceed 3 inches (but not
less than 1 inch).
Why low reduction factor is used for column than beam?
1) Such lower reduction factor in the column representing the greater
importance of column in a structure
2) A beam failure may normally affect only a local area, whereas a
column failure can result in a collapsing of the entire structure.
3) During the casting of column segregation occurred.

Parameter Reduction factor

Flexure (for beam) 0.90
Shear 0.85
Tied column 0.70
Spiral column 0.75
Design of axially loaded column
WSD:
For concentrically loaded spirally reinforced column

Capacity, P Ag ( 0.25 f c fsg )

'

For concentrically loaded tied reinforced column

Capacity, P 0.85 Ag (0.25 f c' f s g )

USD:
For concentrically loaded reinforced column

P Ag {0.85 f c' (1 g ) f y g }
0.85 and 0.75 for spiral column
0.80 and 0.70 for tied column
Problem 01:
Design a tied column for load 500 kip both in WSD and USD.
Solution (WSD):
Let us consider,

P 0.85 Ag (0.25 f c' f s g )

500 0.85 Ag (0.25 3 0.4 60 0.02)
Ag 478.24 in 2 [ h 2 478.24 h 21.87" ]

Therefore select a square section of 22'' 22''.

As = g Ag = 0.02 22 22 = 9.68 in2.
Tie reinforcement:
So provide 10 No. # 9 bar as main bar.

2) 48d = 48 18

3) tmin= 22'', So provide #3 @18''c/c as tie reinforcement.
