Earlier, I wrote an article describing one of my projects where structural designing was
executed on site (which was extremely pathetic) even before Architectural design was done.
(Check out: Consequences of Wrong Structural Design | Live Project example)
In this article, we will go through the essential thumb rules to be followed for giving a
column layout. Ofcourse RCC columns have to be designed in accordance to the total load
on the columns but apart from that it is essential for every Civil engineer and Architect to
remember a few thumb rules so that they are prevented from making mistakes.
9x9 columns are to be used for a single storey structure with M15 grade of concrete.
In case, 9x9 column size is to be used for 1 and half storey structure, then it is advised to
use M20 grade concrete.
