RC COLUMN DESIGN (BS8110:PART1:1997)

TEDDS calculation version 2.0.06

Column definition
Column depth (larger column dim); h = 200 mm
Nominal cover to all reinforcement (longer dim); c h = 25 mm
Depth to tension steel; h' = h - c h – L dia – D col/2 = 157 mm
Column width (smaller column dim); b = 200 mm
Nominal cover to all reinforcement (shorter dim); c b = 25 mm
Depth to tension steel; b' = b - c b - L dia – D col/2 = 157 mm
Characteristic strength of reinforcement; fy = 460 N/mm 2
Characteristic strength of concrete; fcu = 30 N/mm 2

Braced Column Design to cl 3.8.4

Check on overall column dimensions
Column OK - h < 4b
Braced column slenderness check
Column clear height; lo = 3500 mm
Slenderness limit; llimit = 60  b = 12000 mm
Column slenderness limit OK
Short column check for braced columns
Column clear height; lo = 3500 mm
Effect. height factor for braced columns - maj axis;  x = 0.75
BS8110:Table 3.19
Effective height – major axis; lex =  x  l o = 2.625 m;
Slenderness check; lex /h = 13.13
The braced column is short (major axis)
Effect height factor for braced columns - minor axis;  y = 0.75
BS8110:Table 3.19
Effective height – minor axis; ley =  y  l o = 2.625 m
Slenderness check; ley/b = 13.13
The braced column is short (minor axis)
Short column - bi-axial bending
Define column reinforcement
Main reinforcement in column
Assumed diameter of main reinforcement; D col = 16 mm
Assumed no. of bars in one face (assumed sym); L ncol = 2
Area of "tension" steel; A st = L ncol    D col2 / 4 = 402 mm 2
Area of compression steel; A sc = A st = 402 mm 2
Total area of steel; A scol = A st + A sc = 804.2 mm 2

Percentage of steel; (A st + A sc) / (b  h) = 2.0 %

Design ultimate loading

Design ultimate axial load; N = 50 kN
Design ultimate moment (major axis); M x = 0 kNm
Design ultimate moment (minor axis); M y = 0 kNm
Minimum design moments
Min design moment (major axis); M xmin = min(0.05  h, 20 mm)  N = 0.5 kNm
Min design moment (minor axis); M ymin = min(0.05  b, 20 mm)  N = 0.5 kNm

Design moments
Design moment (major axis); M xdes = max (abs(M x ), M xmin ) = 0.5 kNm
Design moment (minor axis); M ydes = max (abs(M y) , M ymin ) = 0.5 kNm
Simplified method for dealing w ith bi-axial bending:-
h' = 157 mm; b' = 157 mm
Approx uniaxial design moment (Cl 3.8.4.5)
 = 1 - 1.165  min(0.6, N/(bhf cu )) = 0.95
Design moment;
M design = if(M xdes /h' < M ydes /b' , M ydes +   b'/h'  M xdes , M xdes +   h'/b'  M ydes ) = 1.0 kNm

Set up section dimensions for design:-

Section depth; D = if(M xdes /h' < M ydes/b' , b, h) = 200.0 mm
Depth to "tension" steel; d = if(M xdes /h' < M ydes /b' , b', h') = 157.0 mm
Section width; B = if(M xdes /h' < M ydes/b' , h, b) = 200.0 mm
Check of design forces - symmetrically reinforced section

NOTE
Note:- the section dimensions used in the following calculation are:-
Section width (parallel to axis of bending); B = 200 mm
Section depth perpendicular to axis of bending); D = 200 mm
Depth to "tension" steel (symmetrical); d = 157 mm
Tension steel yields
Determine correct moment of resistance
N R =ceiling(if(xcalc <D/0.9, N R1 , N R2 ),0.001kN) = 50.0 kN

M R = ceiling(if(xcalc <D/0.9, M R1 , M R2 ) ,0.001kNm) = 23.6 kNm

Applied axial load; N = 50.0 kN
Check for moment; M design = 1.0 kNm
Moment check satisfied

Check min and max areas of steel

Total area of concrete; A conc = b  h = 40000 mm 2
Area of steel (symmetrical); A scol = 804 mm 2
Minimum percentage of compression reinforcement; k c = 0.40 %
Minimum steel area; A sc_min = k c  A conc = 160 mm 2
Maximum steel area; A s_max = 6 %  A conc = 2400 mm 2
Area of compression steel provided OK
