Calculation of Design axial load for the column C3 (R):
Total axial load for vertical loading = (375 +292) k
= 667 k
Combined force = (total vertical load + EQ load)
= 667 k

Combined Moment:
MX = 210+2=212 k
MY = 245-5 = 240 k

Let, the column dimension =15” * 15”

Assume ,column is short,

Kern region ,

Kern dimention = 15/3=5”

Kern region = 5” * 5”

Eccentricity : eX=212*12/667 = 3.8”<5”

ey = 240.8*12/667 = 4.3<5”

We know ,
Φ Pn = 0.85* φ*[ 0.85* ƒc’( Ag - Ast) + fy * Ast ]

For tied column, φ = 0.7,

So, 667 = 0.8*0.7[ 0.85*3*(15*15- Ast) +60 * Ast]
Ast = 9.42 in2

As(min) = 1% of Ag
= 2.25 in2

Provide, 12 #8 bar

So, As ( provide) = 9.48 in2

Bar spacing, S = ( 15 - 3 - 4 ) / 3 in
= 2.6 “

Calculation for (3rd-6th) Floor:

Total axial load for vertical loading = (210+165) k

= 375 k
Combined force = (total vertical load + EQ load)
= 375 k
= Design axial force for column

Combined Moment:
MX = 128 k
MY = 141 k

Let, the column dimension =15” * 15”

Assume ,column is short,

Kern region ,
Kern dimention = 15/3=5”
Kern region = 5” * 5”

Eccentricity : eX=128*12/375 = 4.1”<5”

ey = 141*12/375 = 4.5<5”

We know ,
Φ Pn = 0.85* φ*[ 0.85* ƒc’( Ag - Ast) + fy * Ast ]

For tied column, φ = 0.7,

So, 375 = 0.8*0.7[ 0.85*3*(15*15- Ast) +60 * Ast]
Ast = 1.86 in2

As(min) = 1% of Ag
= 2.25 in2

Provide, 6#7 bar

So, As ( provide) = 3.6 in2

Calculation of Design axial load for the column C1 (A):

Total axial load for vertical loading = (121.7 +105) k

= 226.7 k
Combined force = (total vertical load + EQ load)
= 226.7 k + 71 k =298 k
= Design axial force for column

Let, the column dimension =12” * 12”

We know ,
Φ Pn = 0.85* φ*[ 0.85* ƒc’( Ag - Ast) + fy * Ast ]

For tied column, φ = 0.7,

So, 298 = 0.8*0.7[ 0.85*3*(12*12- Ast) +60 * Ast]
Ast = 2.87 in2

Provide, 6 #7 bar

Bar spacing, S = ( 12 - 3 – (3*0.875)+0.875 ) / 2 in

Calculation for (3rd-6th) Floor:

Total axial load for vertical loading = (60+70) k

= 130 k
Combined force = (total vertical load + EQ load)
= 201 k
= Design axial force for column

Let, the column dimension =10” * 10”

We know ,
Φ Pn = 0.85* φ*[ 0.85* ƒc’( Ag - Ast) + fy * Ast ]

For tied column, φ = 0.7,

So, 201 = 0.8*0.7[ 0.85*3*(10*10- Ast) +60 * Ast]
Ast = 1.90 in2

As(min) = 1% of Ag
= 2.25 in2
