COLUMN DESIGN

Note : Fill-up yellow cells only.

For 3rd Level :

Pu = 0
PEL = 0
Pu3 = ( 1.2 DL + 1.6 LL )
= [0 ]
= 0 kN

For 2nd Level :

Pu = 0
PEL = 0
Pu2 = ( 1.2 DL + 1.6 LL )
= [0]
= 0 kN

For 1st Level :

Pu = 67.5
PEL = 0
Pu1 = ( 1.2 DL + 1.6LL )
= [67.5]
= 67.5 kN

Pu = 67.5 kN

DESIGN OF SQUARE TIED COLUMN

Given:
Pu = 67.5 kN where As
fc' = 28 MPa r= ; As = r A g
fy = 420 MPa Ag
initial r = 0.05
f = 0.75

Solution:

Selecting column dimensions:

Pu = 0.8 f [ 0.85 fc' ( A g - A s ) + fy ( A s ) ]
3
67.5 x 10 = 0.8 ( 0.75 ) [ 0.85 ( 28 ) ( Ag - 0.05 Ag ) + 420 ( 0.05 Ag ) ]
2
Ag = 2579.6836 mm

Use: 200 mm x 200 mm

Ag = 40000 mm2

Selecting longitudinal (main) bars:

Pu = 0.8 f [ 0.85 fc' ( A g - A s ) + fy ( A s ) ]
3
67.5 x 10 = 0.8 ( 0.75 ) [ 0.85 ( 28 ) ( 40000 - As ) + 420 As ]
2
As = -2118.8794 mm

Use: 4 -- 20 mm f OK! ..above minimum req'd rebars

2
As = 1256.6371 mm

checking r :
rgmin = 1% of A g = 0.01
rgmax = 8% of A g = 0.08

As 1256.6371
r= = = 0.031
Ag 40000

rgmin < r < rgmax OK for rho min! Also, OK! for rho max

Design of ties:

Use 10 mm f size of ties.

( a ) 16 db = 16 ( 20 ) = 320 mm
( b ) 48 dt = 48 ( 10 ) = 480 mm
( c ) least lateral column dimension = 200 mm

Therefore, 200 mm controls!
