- Beam-column joints are the weakest points in reinforced concrete frames during earthquakes due to stresses that cause cracking and failure. There are two main types of failure: shear and anchorage.
- Proper design of beam-column joints including use of closed loop ties, intermediate bars, wider columns, and straight beam bars inserted into the column improves earthquake resistance by resisting distortion and improving concrete confinement.
- Innovative techniques for strengthening joints include fiber reinforced concrete and FRP wrapping to prevent cracking and increase strength. Well designed joints are crucial to avoiding damage during seismic activity.
How do Beam-Column Joints in RC Buildings Resist Earthquakes?Malay Patel
Beam-column joints are the intersections between beams and columns in reinforced concrete buildings. These joints must be designed carefully to resist seismic forces during earthquakes to avoid damage. Under earthquake shaking, the beams adjoining a joint experience moments in the same direction, pulling the top bars in one direction and bottom bars in the other. If the column is not wide enough or the concrete strength is low, the bars can slip inside the joint, weakening the structure. Providing closed loop transverse ties through the joint region helps prevent diagonal cracking and crushing of the concrete. The reinforcement cages for all beams at a floor level are ideally prepared together and lowered into place to ensure the ties surround the column bars through the joint region.

The document provides an introduction to reinforced cement concrete (RCC). It discusses that steel is strong in both tension and compression, whereas concrete is strong only in compression. Steel reinforcement is used to increase the tensile strength of concrete. The combination of steel and concrete results in RCC, which has a weight of 25,000 N/cum. Steel is the most suitable reinforcing material due to its high tensile strength, elasticity, bond with concrete, and availability in India. Mild steel bars have plain surfaces while high yield strength deformed (HYSD) bars have deformations that increase bond strength. Design of RCC involves consideration of loads such as dead, live, wind, snow, and seismic loads.

Form active structures like arches, cables, and tents redirect forces through their shape rather than rigid members. Arches use compression to span distances, with the curve transferring weight outward to supports. Cables are flexible and use simple tension to span long distances in a triangular shape. Tents stabilize flexible surfaces under tension through frameworks, external forces, or internal pressurization to resist loads.

It emphasizes the power of the method by using it to solve a variety of ODE models of different orders and coefficients. The document also uses VIM to solve four scientific models - the hybrid selection model, Thomas-Fermi equation, Kidder equation for unsteady gas flow through porous media, and the Riccati equation. The VIM provides efficient iterative approximations for both analytic solutions and numeric simulations of real-world applications in science and engineering.
This document summarizes numerical simulations of concrete elements using two approaches to model cracks: smeared cracking models and discrete cracking with cohesive elements. Smeared cracking models included elasto-plasticity with Rankine criterion, continuum damage mechanics, and smeared crack models. Cohesive elements were used to model discrete cracks. Both approaches were implemented in ABAQUS and used to simulate two benchmark problems: a Nooru-Mohamed mixed-mode fracture test and a Schlangen mixed-mode fracture test. The results from the different models were compared to experimental data.

Paper Title
Particle Swarm Optimization–Long Short-Term Memory based Channel Estimation with Hybrid Beam Forming Power Transfer in WSN-IoT Applications
Authors
Reginald Jude Sixtus J and Tamilarasi Muthu, Puducherry Technological University, India
Abstract
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) helps to overcome various difficulties in future technology wireless communications. NOMA, when utilized with millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, channel estimation becomes extremely difficult. For reaping the benefits of the NOMA and mm-Wave combination, effective channel estimation is required. In this paper, we propose an enhanced particle swarm optimization based long short-term memory estimator network (PSOLSTMEstNet), which is a neural network model that can be employed to forecast the bandwidth required in the mm-Wave MIMO network. The prime advantage of the LSTM is that it has the capability of dynamically adapting to the functioning pattern of fluctuating channel state. The LSTM stage with adaptive coding and modulation enhances the BER.PSO algorithm is employed to optimize input weights of LSTM network. The modified algorithm splits the power by channel condition of every single user. Participants will be first sorted into distinct groups depending upon respective channel conditions, using a hybrid beamforming approach. The network characteristics are fine-estimated using PSO-LSTMEstNet after a rough approximation of channels parameters derived from the received data.

Design of Columns
UNIT-6
Introduction: A column is defined as a compression member, the effective length of which
exceeds three times the least lateral dimension. Compression members, whose lengths do not
exceed three times the least lateral dimension, may be made of plain concrete. A column
forms a very important component of a structure. Columns support beams which in turn
support walls and slabs. It should be realized that the failure of a column results in the
collapse of the structure. The design of a column should therefore receive importance.
A column is a vertical structural member supporting axial compressive loads, with or without
moments. The cross-sectional dimensions of a column are generally considerably less than its
height. Columns support vertical loads from the floors and roof and transmit these loads to
the foundations.
The more general terms compression members and members subjected to combined axial
load and bending are sometimes used to refer to columns, walls, and members in concrete
trusses or frames. These may be vertical, inclined, or horizontal. A column is a special case of
a compression member that is vertical. Stability effects must be considered in the design of
compression members.
Classification of columns
A column may be classified based on different criteria such as:
1. Based on shape
• Rectangle
• Square
• Circular
• Polygon
• L type
• T type
• + type
2. Based on slenderness ratio or height
Short column and Long column or Short and Slender Compression Members
A compression member may be considered as short when both the slenderness ratios namely
lex/D and ley/b are less than 12: Where
lex= effective length in respect of the major axis, D= depth in respect of the major axis,
ley= effective length in respect of the minor axis, and b = width of the member.
It shall otherwise be considered as a slender or long compression member.
4. 4
The great majority of concrete columns are sufficiently stocky (short) that slenderness can be
ignored. Such columns are referred to as short columns. Short column generally fails by
crushing of concrete due to axial force. If the moments induced by slenderness effects
weaken a column appreciably, it is referred to as a slender column or a long column. Long
columns generally fail by bending effect than due to axial effect. Long column carry less load
compared to long column.
3. Based on pattern of lateral reinforcement
• Tied columns with ties as laterals
• columns with Spiral steel as laterals or spiral columns
Majority of columns in any buildings are tied columns. In a tied column the longitudinal bars
are tied together with smaller bars at intervals up the column. Tied columns may be square,
rectangular, L-shaped, circular, or any other required shape. Occasionally, when high strength
and/or high ductility are required, the bars are placed in a circle, and the ties are replaced by a
bar bent into a helix or spiral. Such a column, called a spiral column. Spiral columns are
generally circular, although square or polygonal shapes are sometimes used. The spiral acts to
restrain the lateral expansion of the column core under high axial loads and, in doing so,
delays the failure of the core, making the column more ductile. Spiral columns are used more
extensively in seismic regions. If properly designed, spiral column carry 5% extra load at
failure compared to similar tied column.
4. Based on type of loading
• Axially loaded column or centrally or concentrically loaded column (Pu)
• A column subjected to axial load and unaxial bending (Pu + Mux) or (P + Muy)
• A column subjected to axial load and biaxial bending (Pu + Mux + Muy)

Behavior of Tied and Spiral Columns
Figure shows a portion of the core of a spiral column. Under a compressive load, the concrete
in this column shortens longitudinally under the stress and so, to satisfy Poisson’s ratio, it
expands laterally. In a spiral column, the lateral expansion of the concrete inside the spiral
(referred to as the core) is restrained by the spiral. This stresses the spiral in tension. For
equilibrium, the concrete is subjected to lateral compressive stresses. In a tied column in a
non seismic region, the ties are spaced roughly the width of the column apart and, as a result,
provide relatively little lateral restraint to the core. Outward pressure on the sides of the ties
due to lateral expansion of the core merely bends them outward, developing an insignificant
hoop-stress effect. Hence, normal ties have little effect on the strength of the core in a tied
column. They do, however, act to reduce the unsupported length of the longitudinal bars, thus
reducing the danger of buckling of those bars as the bar stress approaches yield. load-
deflection diagrams for a tied column and a spiral column subjected to axial loads is shown in
figure. The initial parts of these diagrams are similar. As the maximum load is reached,
vertical cracks and crushing develop in the concrete shell outside the ties or spiral, and this
concrete spalls off. When this occurs in a tied column, the capacity of the core that remains is
less than the load on the column. The concrete core is crushed, and the reinforcement buckles
outward between ties. This occurs suddenly, without warning, in a brittle manner. When the
shell spalls off a spiral column, the column does not fail immediately because the strength of
the core has been enhanced by the triaxial stresses resulting from the effect of the spiral
reinforcement. As a result, the column can undergo large deformations, eventually reaching a
second maximum load, when the spirals yield and the column finally collapses. Such a failure
is much more ductile than that of a tied column and gives warning of the impending failure,
along with possible load redistribution to other members. Due to this, spiral column carry
little more load than the tied column to an extent of about 5%. Spiral columns are used when
ductility is important or where high loads make it economical to utilize the extra strength.
Both columns are in the same building and have undergone the same deformations. The tied
column has failed completely, while the spiral column, although badly damaged, is still
supporting a load. The very minimal ties were inadequate to confine the core concrete. Had
the column ties been detailed according to ACI Code, the column will perform better as
shown.
Specifications for covers and reinforcement in column
For a longitudinal reinforcing bar in a column nominal cover shall in any case not be less
than 40 mm, or less than the diameter of such bar. In the case of columns of minimum
dimension of 200 mm or under, whose reinforcing bars do not exceed 12 mm, a nominal
cover of 25 mm may be used. For footings minimum cover shall be 50 mm.

Mild 20, Moderate 30, Severe 45, Very severe 50, Extreme 75
Nominal cover to meet specified period of fire resistance for all fire rating 0.5 to 4 hours is 40
mm for columns only
Effective length of compression member
Column or strut is a compression member, the effective length of which exceeds three times
the least lateral dimension. For normal usage assuming idealized conditions, the effective
length of in a given plane may be assessed on the basis of Table 28 of IS: 456-2000.

construction, beam and slab construction, and columns restrained laterally by struts (Ref.
IS:456-2000),
Slenderness Limits for Columns

percent nor more than 6 percent of the gross cross sectional area of the column.
2. NOTE - The use of 6 percent reinforcement may involve practical difficulties in

consideration, the percentage of steel shall usually not exceed 4 percent.
3. In any column that has a larger cross-sectional area than that required to support the

The effective lateral support is given by transverse reinforcement either in the form of
circular rings capable of taking up circumferential tension or by polygonal links (lateral ties)
with internal angles not exceeding 135°. The ends of the transverse reinforcement shall be
properly anchored.
Arrangement of transverse reinforcement
If the longitudinal bars are not spaced more than 75 mm on either side, transverse
reinforcement need only to go round corner and alternate bars for the purpose of providing
effective lateral supports (Ref. IS:456).
If the longitudinal bars spaced at a distance of not exceeding 48 times the diameter of the tie
are effectively tied in two directions, additional longitudinal bars in between these bars need
to be tied in one direction by open ties (Ref. IS:456).
Pitch and diameter of lateral ties
1) Pitch-The pitch of transverse reinforcement shall be not more than the least of the

LIMIT STATE OF COLLAPSE: COMPRESSION
Assumptions
1. The maximum compressive strain in concrete in axial compression is taken as 0.002.
2. The maximum compressive strain at the highly compressed extreme fibre in concrete
subjected to axial compression and bending and when there is no tension on the
section shall be 0.0035 minus 0.75 times the strain at the least compressed extreme
fibre.
In addition the following assumptions of flexure are also required
3. Plane sections normal to the axis remain plane after bending.
4. The maximum strain in concrete at the outermost compression fibre is taken as 0.0035
in bending.
5. The relationship between the compressive stress distribution in concrete and the strain
in concrete may be assumed to be rectangle, trapezoid, parabola or any other shape
which results in prediction of strength in substantial agreement with the results of test.
6. An acceptable stress strain curve is given in IS:456-200. For design purposes, the
compressive strength of concrete in the structure shall be assumed to be 0.67 times the
characteristic strength. The partial safety factor y of 1.5 shall be applied in addition to
this.
7. The tensile strength of the concrete is ignored.
8. The stresses in the reinforcement are derived from representative stress-strain curve
for the type of steel used. Typical curves are given in IS:456-2000. For design
purposes the partial safety factor equal to 1.15 shall be applied.
Minimum eccentricity
As per IS:456-2000, all columns shall be designed for minimum eccentricity, equal to the
unsupported length of column/ 500 plus lateral dimensions/30, subject to a minimum of 20
mm. Where bi-axial bending is considered, it is sufficient to ensure that eccentricity exceeds
the minimum about one axis at a time.
Short Axially Loaded Members in Compression
The member shall be designed by considering the assumptions given in 39.1 and the
minimum eccentricity. When the minimum eccentricity as per 25.4 does not exceed 0.05
times the lateral dimension, the members may be designed by the following equation:
11. 11
Pu = 0.4 fck Ac + 0.67 fy Asc
Pu = axial load on the member,
fck = characteristic compressive strength of the concrete,
Ac = area of concrete,
fy = characteristic strength of the compression reinforcement, and
As = area of longitudinal reinforcement for columns.
Compression Members with Helical Reinforcement
The strength of compression members with helical reinforcement satisfying the requirement
of IS: 456 shall be taken as 1.05 times the strength of similar member with lateral ties.
The ratio of the volume of helical reinforcement to the volume of the core shall not be less
than
Vhs / Vc > 0.36 (Ag/Ac – 1) fck/fy
Ag = gross area of the section,
Ac = area of the core of the helically reinforced column measured to the outside diameter of
the helix,
fck = characteristic compressive strength of the concrete, and
fy = characteristic strength of the helical reinforcement but not exceeding 415 N/mm.
Members Subjected to Combined Axial Load and Uni-axial Bending
Use of Non-dimensional Interaction Diagrams as Design Aids
Design Charts (for Uniaxial Eccentric Compression) in SP-16
The design Charts (non-dimensional interaction curves) given in the Design Handbook, SP :
16 cover the following three cases of symmetrically arranged reinforcement :
(a) Rectangular sections with reinforcement distributed equally on two sides (Charts 27 – 38):
the ‘two sides’ refer to the sides parallel to the axis of bending; there are no inner rows of
bars, and each outer row has an area of 0.5As
this includes the simple 4–bar configuration.
(b) Rectangular sections with reinforcement distributed equally on four sides (Charts 39 –
50): two outer rows (with area 0.3As
each) and four inner rows (with area 0.1As
each)
have been considered in the calculations ; however, the use of these Charts can be
extended, without significant error, to cases of not less than two inner rows (with a
minimum area 0.3As
in each outer row).
(c) Circular column sections (Charts 51 – 62): the Charts are applicable for circular sections
with at least six bars (of equal diameter) uniformly spaced circumferentially.
Corresponding to each of the above three cases, there are as many as 12 Charts available
covering the 3 grades of steel (Fe 250, Fe 415, Fe 500), with 4 values of d1
/ D ratio for each
grade (namely 0.05, .0.10, 0.15, 0.20). For intermediate values of d1
/ D, linear interpolation
may be done. Each of the 12 Charts of SP-16 covers a family of non-dimensional design
interaction curves with p/fck
values ranging from 0.0 to 0.26.
12. 12
From this, percentage of steel (p) can be found. Find the area of steel and provide the
required number of bars with proper arrangement of steel as shown in the chart.
Typical interaction curve
Salient Points on the Interaction Curve
The salient points, marked 1 to 5 on the interaction curve correspond to the failure strain
profiles, marked 1 to 5 in the above figure.
• The point 1 in figure corresponds to the condition of axial loading with e = 0. For this
case of ‘pure’ axial compression.
• The point 11
in figure corresponds to the condition of axial loading with the
mandatory minimum eccentricity emin
prescribed by the Code.
• The point 3 in figure corresponds to the condition xu

. For e < eD
, the
entire section is under compression and the neutral axis is located outside the section
(xu
> D), with 0.002 < εcu
< 0.0035. For e > eD
, the NA is located within the section
(xu
< D) and εcu
= 0.0035 at the ‘highly compressed edge’.
• The point 4 in figure corresponds to the balanced failure condition, with e = eb
and xu
= xu, b
. The design strength values for this ‘balanced failure’ condition are denoted as
Pub

resulting ultimate moment of resistance is denoted Muo
and the corresponding NA
depth takes on a minimum value xu, min
.

Members Subjected to Combined Axial Load and Biaxial Bending
The resistance of a member subjected to axial force and biaxial bending shall be obtained on
the basis of assumptions given in IS:456 with neutral axis so chosen as to satisfy the
equilibrium of load and moments about two axes. Alternatively such members may be
designed by the following equation:
[Mux/Mux1]αn
+ [Muy/Muy1]αn
≤ 1, where
Mux and My = moments about x and y axes due to design loads,
Mux1 and My1 = maximum uni-axial moment capacity for an axial load of Pu bending about
x and y axes respectively, and αn is related to Pu /Puz, where Puz = 0.45 fck .Ac + 0.75 fy Asc
For values of Pu /Puz = 0.2 to 0.8, the values of αn vary linearly from 1 .0 to 2.0. For values
less than 0.2 and greater than 0.8, it is taken as 1 and 2 respectively
NOTE -The design of member subject to combined axial load and uniaxial bending will
involve lengthy calculation by trial and error. In order to overcome these difficulties
interaction diagrams may be used. These have been prepared and published by BIS in SP:16
titled Design aids for reinforced concrete to IS 456-2000.

Slender Compression Members: The design of slender compression members shall be
based on the forces and the moments determined from an analysis of the structure, including
the effect of deflections on moments and forces. When the effects of deflections are not taken
into account in the analysis, additional moment given in 39.7.1 shall be taken into account in
the appropriate direction.
Problems
1. Determine the load carrying capacity of a column of size 300 x 400 mm reinforced
with six rods of 20 mm diameter i.e, 6-#20. The grade of concrete and steel are M20
and Fe 415 respectively. Assume that the column is short.
fck = 20 MPa, fy= 415 MPa
Area of steel ASC = 6 x π x 202
/4 = 6 x 314 = 1884 mm2
Percentage of steel = 100Asc/bD = 100x1884/300x400 = 1.57 %
Area of concrete Ac = Ag – Asc = 300 x 400 – 1884 = 118116 mm2
Ultimate load carried by the column
Pu = 0.4 fck Ac + 0.67 fy Asc
0.4x20x118116 + 0.67x415x1884
944928 + 523846 = 1468774 N = 1468. 8 kN
Therefore the safe load on the column = 1468.8 /1.5 = 979.2 kN
2. Determine the steel required to carry a load of 980kN on a rectangular column of
size 300 x 400 mm. The grade of concrete and steel are M20 and Fe 415 respectively.
Assume that the column is short.
fck = 20 MPa, fy= 415 MPa, P = 980 kN
Area of steel ASC = ?
Area of concrete Ac = Ag – Asc = (300 x 400 – ASC)
Ultimate load carried by the column
Pu = 0.4 fck Ac + 0.67 fy Asc
980 x 1.5 x 1000 = 0.4x20x (300 x 400 – ASC) + 0.67x415 ASC
= 960000 - 8 ASC + 278.06 ASC
ASC =1888.5 mm2
,
Percentage of steel = 100Asc/bD = 100x1888.5 /300x400 = 1.57 % which is more than 0.8%
and less than 6% and therefore ok.
Use 20 mm dia. bas, No. of bars = 1888.5/314 = 6.01 say 6
15. 15
3. Design a square or circular column to carry a working load of 980kN. The grade of
concrete and steel are M20 and Fe 415 respectively. Assume that the column is short.
Let us assume 1.0% steel (1 to 2%)
Say ASC = 1.0% Ag =1/100 Ag = 0.01Ag
fck = 20 MPa, fy= 415 MPa, P = 980 kN
Area of concrete Ac = Ag – Asc = Ag -0.01Ag = 0.99 Ag
Ultimate load carried by the column
Pu = 0.4 fck Ac + 0.67 fy Asc
980 x 1.5 x 1000 = 0.4x20x 0.99 Ag + 0.67x415 x 0.01Ag
= 7.92 Ag + 2.78 Ag =10.7Ag
Ag = 137383 mm2
Let us design a square column:
B = D = √ Ag =370.6 mm say 375 x 375 mm
This is ok. However this size cannot take the minimum eccentricity of 20 mm as emin/D =
20/375 =0.053 > 0.05. To restrict the eccentricity to 20 mm, the required size is 400x 400
mm.
Area of steel required is Ag = 1373.8 mm2
. Provide 4 bar of 22 mm diameter. Steel provided
is 380 x 4 = 1520 mm2
Actual percentage of steel = 100Asc/bD = 100x1520 /400x400 = 0.95 % which is more than
0.8% and less than 6% and therefore ok.
Design of Transverse steel:
Diameter of tie = ¼ diameter of main steel = 22/4 =5.5mm or 6 mm, whichever is greater.
Provide 6 mm.
Spacing: < 300 mm, < 16 x22 = 352mm, < LLD = 400mm. Say 300mm c/c
Design of circular column:
Here Ag = 137383 mm2
π x D2
/4 = Ag, D= 418.2 mm say 420 mm. This satisfy the minimum eccentricity of 20m
Also provide 7 bars of 16 mm, 7 x 201 = 1407 mm2
Design of Transverse steel:
Dia of tie = ¼ dia of main steel = 16/4 = 4 mm or 6 mm, whichever is greater. Provide 6 mm.
Spacing: < 300 mm, < 16 x16 = 256 mm, < LLD = 420mm. Say 250 mm c/c
4. Design a rectangular column to carry an ultimate load of 2500kN. The unsupported
length of the column is 3m. The ends of the column are effectively held in position
16. 16
and also restrained against rotation. The grade of concrete and steel are M20 and Fe
415 respectively.
Given:
fck = 20 MPa, fy= 415 MPa, Pu = 2500kN
Let us assume 1.0% steel (1 to 2%)
Say ASC = 1.0% Ag =1/100 Ag = 0.01Ag
Area of concrete Ac = Ag – Asc = Ag -0.01Ag = 0.99 Ag
Ultimate load carried by the column
Pu = 0.4 fck Ac + 0.67 fy Asc
2500 x 1000 = 0.4x20x 0.99 Ag + 0.67x415 x 0.01Ag
= 7.92 Ag + 2.78 Ag =10.7Ag
Ag = 233645 mm2
If it is a square column:
B = D = √ Ag =483 mm. However provide rectangular column of size 425 x 550mm. The
area provided=333750 mm2
Area of steel = 2336 mm2
, Also provide 8 bars of 20 mm, 6 x 314 = 2512 mm2
Check for shortness: Ends are fixed. lex = ley = 0.65 l = 0.65 x 3000 = 1950 mm
lex /D= 1950/550 < 12, and ley /b = 1950/425 < 12, Column is short
Check for minimum eccentricity:
In the direction of longer direction
emin, x = lux/500 + D/30 = 3000/500 + 550/30 = 24.22mm or 20mm whichever is greater.
emin, x = 24.22 mm < 0.05D = 0.05 x 550 =27.5 mm. O.K
In the direction of shorter direction
emin, y= luy/500 + b/30 = 3000/500 + 425/30 = 20.17 mm or 20mm whichever is greater.
emin, x = 20.17 mm < 0.05b = 0.05 x 425 =21.25 mm. O.K
Design of Transverse steel:
Dia of tie = ¼ dia of main steel = 20/4 = 5 mm or 6 mm, whichever is greater. Provide 6 mm
or 8 mm.
Spacing: < 300 mm, < 16 x20 = 320 mm, < LLD = 425mm. Say 300 mm c/c
17. 17
5. Design a circular column with ties to carry an ultimate load of 2500kN. The
unsupported length of the column is 3m. The ends of the column are effectively held
in position but not against rotation. The grade of concrete and steel are M20 and Fe
415 respectively.
Given:
fck = 20 MPa, fy= 415 MPa, Pu = 2500kN
Let us assume 1.0% steel (1 to 2%)
Say ASC = 1.0% Ag =1/100 Ag = 0.01Ag
Area of concrete Ac = Ag – Asc = Ag -0.01Ag = 0.99 Ag
Ultimate load carried by the column
Pu = 0.4 fck Ac + 0.67 fy Asc
2500 x 1000 = 0.4x20x 0.99 Ag + 0.67x415 x 0.01Ag
= 7.92 Ag + 2.78 Ag =10.7Ag
Ag = 233645 mm2
π x D2
/4 = Ag, D = 545.4 mm say 550 mm.
Area of steel = 2336 mm2
, Also provide 8 bars of 20 mm, 6 x 314 = 2512 mm2
Check for shortness: Ends are hinged lex = ley = l = 3000 mm
lex /D= 3000/550 < 12, and ley /b = 3000/425 < 12, Column is short
Check for minimum eccentricity:
Here, emin, x = emin, y = lux/500 + D/30 = 3000/500 + 550/30 = 24.22mm or 20mm whichever is
greater.
emin = 24.22 mm < 0.05D = 0.05 x 550 =27.5 mm. O.K
Design of Transverse steel:
Diameter of tie = ¼ dia of main steel = 20/4 = 5 mm or 6 mm, whichever is greater. Provide 6
mm or 8 mm.
Spacing: < 300 mm, < 16 x20 = 320 mm, < LLD = 550mm. Say 300 mm c/c
Similarly square column can be designed.
If the size of the column provided is less than that provided above, then the minimum
eccentricity criteria are not satisfied. Then emin is more and the column is to be designed as
18. 18
uni axial bending case or bi axial bending case as the case may be. This situation arises when
more steel is provided ( say 2% in this case).
Try to solve these problems by using SP 16 charts, though not mentioned in the syllabus.
6. Design the reinforcement in a column of size 450 mm × 600 mm, subject to an axial
load of 2000 kN under service dead and live loads. The column has an unsupported
length of 3.0m and its ends are held in position but not in direction. Use M 20
concrete and Fe 415 steel.
Solution:
Given: lu= 3000 mm, b = 450 mm, D = 600 mm, P =2000kN, M20, Fe415
Check for shortness: Ends are fixed. lex = ley = l = 3000 mm
lex /D= 3000/600 < 12, and ley /b = 3000/450< 12, Column is short
Check for minimum eccentricity:
In the direction of longer direction
emin, x = lux/500 + D/30 = 3000/500 + 600/30 = 26 mm or 20mm whichever is greater.
emin, x = 26 mm < 0.05D = 0.05 x 600 =30 mm. O.K
In the direction of shorter direction
emin, y= luy/500 + b/30 = 3000/500 + 450/30 = 21 mm or 20mm whichever is greater.
emin, x = 21 mm < 0.05b = 0.05 x 450 =22.5 mm. O.K
Minimum eccentricities are within the limits and hence code formula for axially loaded short
columns can be used.
Factored Load
Pu
= service load × partial load factor
= 2000 × 1.5 = 3000 kN
Design of Longitudinal Reinforcement
Pu = 0.4 fck Ac + 0.67 fy Asc or
Pu = 0.4 fck Ac + (0.67 fy - 0.4fck) Asc
3000 × 10
3
= 0.4 × 20 × (450 × 600) + (0.67 × 415–0.4 × 20)Asc
= 2160×10
3
+ 270.05Asc
19. 19
⇒ Asc
= (3000–2160) × 10
3
/270.05 = 3111 mm
2
In view of the column dimensions (450 mm, 600 mm), it is necessary to place intermediate
bars, in addition to the 4 corner bars:
Provide 4–25φ at corners ie, 4 × 491 = 1964 mm
2
and 4–20φ additional ie, 4 × 314 = 1256 mm
2
⇒ Asc
= 3220 mm
2
> 3111 mm
2
⇒ p = (100×3220) / (450×600) = 1.192 > 0.8 (minimum steel), OK.
Design of transverse steel
Diameter of tie = ¼ diameter of main steel = 25/4 =6.25 mm or 6 mm, whichever is greater.
Provide 6 mm.
Spacing: < 300 mm, < 16 x 20 = 320 mm, < LLD = 450mm. Say 300 mm c/c
Thus provide ties 8mm @ 300 mm c/c

Example: Square Column with Uniaxial Bending
7. Determine the reinforcement to be provided in a square column subjected to
uniaxial bending with the following data:
Size of column 450 x 450 mm
Concrete mix M 25
Characteristic strength of steel 415 N/mm2
Factored load 2500 kN
Factored moment 200 kN.m
Arrangement of reinforcement:
(a) On two sides
(b) On four sides
Assume moment due to minimum eccentricity to be less than the actual moment
Assuming 25 mm bars with 40 mm cover,
20. 20
d = 40 + 12.5 = 52.5 mm
d1
/D = 52.5/450- 0.12
Charts for d1
/D = 0.15 will be used
Pu/fckbD = (2500 x 1000)/ (25 x 450 x 450) = 0.494
Mu/fckbD2
=200 x 106
/(25 x 450 x 4502
) = 0.088
a) Reinforcement on two sides,
Referring to Chart 33,
p/fck = 0.09
Percentage of reinforcement,
p = 0.09 x 25 = 2.25 %
As = p bD/100 = 2.25 x 450 x 450/100
= 4556 mm2
b) Reinforcement on four sides
from Chart 45,
p/fck = 0.10
p = 0.10 x 25 = 2.5 %
As = 2.5 x 450 x 450/100 = 5063 mm2
8. Example: Circular Column with Uniaxial Bending
Determine the reinforcement to be provided in a circular column with the following
data:
Diameter of column 500 mm
Grade of concrete M20
Characteristic strength 250 N/mm2
Factored load 1600 kN
Factored moment 125 kN.m
Lateral reinforcement :
(a) Hoop reinforcement
(b) Helical reinforcement
(Assume moment due to minimum eccentricity to be less than the actual moment).
Assuming 25 mm bars with 40 mm cover,
d1
= 40 + 12.5 = 52.5 mm
d1
/D – 52.5/50 = 0.105
Charts for d’/D = 0.10 will be used.
(a) Column with hoop reinforcement
Pu/fck D D = (1600 x 1000)/ (20 x 500 x 500) = 0.32
Mu/fck D x D2
=125 x 106
/(20 x 500 x 5002
) = 0.05
21. 21
Referring to Chart 52, for fy = 250 N/mm2
p/fck = 0.87
Percentage of reinforcement,
p = 0.87 x 20 = 1.74 %
As = 1.74 x (π x 5002
/4)/100 = 3416 mm2
(b) Column with Helical Reinforcement
According to 38.4 of the Code, the strength of a compression member with helical
reinforcement is 1.05 times the strength of a similar member with lateral ties. Therefore, the,
given load and moment should be divided by 1.05 before referring to the chart.
Pu/fck D D = (1600/1.05 x 1000)/ (20 x 500 x 500) = 0.31
Mu/fck D x D2
=125/1.05 x 106
/(20 x 500 x 5002
) = 0.048
Hence, From Chart 52, for fy = 250 N/mm2
,
p/fck = 0.078
p = 0.078 x 20 = 1.56 %
As = 1.56 x( π x 500 x 500/4 )/100 = 3063 cm2
According to 38.4.1 of the Code the ratio of the volume of helical reinforcement to the
volume of the core shall not be less than
0.36 (Ag/Ac - 1) x fck /fy
where Ag is the gross area of the section and Ac is the area of the core measured to the outside
diameter of the helix. Assuming 8 mm dia bars for the helix,
Core diameter = 500 - 2 (40 - 8) = 436 mm
Ag/AC = 500/436 = 1.315
0.36 (Ag/Ac - 1) x fck /fy = 0.36(0.315) 20/250 =0.0091
Volume of helical reinforcement / Volume of core
= Ash π x 428 /( π/4 x 4362
) sh
0.09 Ash / sh
where, Ash is the area of the bar forming the helix and sh is the pitch of the helix.
In order to satisfy the coda1 requirement,
0.09 Ash / sh ≥ 0.0091
22. 22
For 8 mm dia bar,
sh ≤ 0.09 x 50 / 0.0091 = 49.7 mm. Thus provide 48 mm pitch
Example: Rectangular column with Biaxial Bending
9. Determine the reinforcement to be provided in a short column subjected to biaxial
bending, with the following data:
size of column = 400 x 600 mm
Concrete mix = M15
Characteristic strength of reinforcement = 415 N/mm2
Factored load, Pu = 1600 kN
Factored moment acting parallel to the larger dimension, Mux =120 kNm
Factored moment acting parallel to the shorter dimension, Muy = 90 kNm
Moments due to minimum eccentricity are less than the values given above.
Reinforcement is distributed equally on four sides.
As a first trial assume the reinforcement percentage, p = 1.2%
p/fck = 1.2/15 = 0.08
Uniaxial moment capacity of the section about xx-axis :
d1
/D = 52.5 /600 = 0.088
Chart for d’/D = 0.1 will be used.
Pu/fck b D = (1600 x 1000)/ (15 x 400 x 600) = 0.444
Referring to chart 44
Mu/fck b x D2
= 0.09
Mux1 = 0.09 x 15 x 400 x 6002
) = 194.4 kN.m
Uni-axial moment capacity of the section about yy axis :
d1
/D = 52.5 /400 = 0.131
Chart for d1
/D =0.15 will be used.
Referring to Chart 45,
Mu/fck b x D2
= 0.083
Mux1 = 0.083 x 15 x 600 x 4002
) = 119.52 kN.m
Calculation of Puz :
Referring to Chart 63 corresponding to
p = 1.2, fy = 415 and fck = 15,
Puz/Ag = 10.3
Puz = 10.3 x 400 x 600 = 2472 kN
Mux/Mux1 = 120/194.4 =0.62
Muy/Muy1=90/119.52 = 0.75
Pu /Puz =1600/2472 = 0.65
23. 23
Referring to Churn 64, the permissible value of Mux/Mux1 corresponding to Muy/Muy1 and Pu
/Puz is equal to 0.58
The actual value of 0.62 is only slightly higher than the value read from the Chart.
This can be made up by slight increase in reinforcement.
Using Boris load contour equation as per IS:456-2000
Pu /Puz = 0.65 thus, αn = 1 + [(2-1) / (0.8 - 0.2)] (0.65-0.2) = 1.75
[0.62 ]1.75
+ [0.75]1.75
= 1.04 slightly greater than 1 and slightly unsafe. This can be made up
by slight increase in reinforcement say 1.3%
Thus provide As = 1.3x400x600/100 = 3120 mm2
Provide 1.3 % of steel
p/fck = 1.3/15 = 0.086
d1
/D = 52.5 /600 = 0.088 = 0.1
From chart 44
Mu/fck b x D2
= 0.095
Mux1 = 0.095 x 15 x 400 x 6002
) = 205.2 kN.m
Referring to Chart 45,
Mu/fck b x D2
= 0.085
Mux1 = 0.085 x 15 x 600 x 4002
) = 122.4 kN.m
Chart 63 : Puz/Ag = 10.4
Puz = 10.4 x 400 x 600 = 2496 kN
Mux/Mux1 = 120/205.2 =0.585
Muy/Muy1=90/122.4 = 0.735
Pu /Puz =1600/2496 = 0.641
Referring to Chart 64, the permissible value of Mux/Mux1 corresponding to Muy/Muy1 and Pu
/Puz is equal to 0.60
Hence the section is O.K.
Using Boris load contour equation as per IS:456-2000
Pu /Puz = 0.641 thus, αn = 1 + [(2-1) / (0.8 - 0.2)] (0.641-0.2) = 1.735
[120/205.2]1.735
+ [90/122.4]1.735
= 0.981 ≤ 1 Thus OK
As = 3120 mm2
. Provide 10 bars of 20 mm dia. Steel provided is 314 x 10 = 3140 mm2

Design of transverse steel: Provide 8 mm dia stirrups at 300 mm c/c as shown satisfying the
requirements of IS: 456-2000
10. Verify the adequacy of the short column section 500 mm x 300 mm under the
following load conditions:
Pu
= 1400 kN, Mux
= 125 kNm, Muy
= 75 kNm. The design interaction curves of SP 16
should be used. Assume that the column is a ‘short column’ and the eccentricity due to
moments is greater than the minimum eccentricity.
Solution:
Given: Dx
= 500 mm, b = 300 mm, As
= 2946 mm
2
Mux
= 125 kNm, Muy
= 75 kNm, fck
= 25
MPa, fy
= 415 MPa
Applied eccentricities
ex

/Pu
= 125 × 10

/1400 = 89.3 mm ⇒ ex
/Dx
= 0.179
ey
= Muy
/Pu
= 75 × 10
3
/1400 = 53.6 mm ⇒ ey
/Dy
= 0.179
These eccentricities for the short column are clearly not less than the minimum eccentricities
specified by the Code.
Uniaxial moment capacities: Mux1
, Muy1
As determined in the earlier example, corresponding to Pu
= 1400 kN,
Mux1
= 187 kNm
Muy1
= 110 kNm
Values of Puz
and αn
Puz

)Asc
= (0.45 × 25 × 300 × 500) + (0.75 × 415 – 0.45 × 25)×2946
= (1687500 + 883800)N = 2571 kN
⇒ Pu
/Puz
= 1400/2571 = 0.545 (which lies between 0.2 and 0.8)
⇒ αn
= 1.575
Check safety under biaxial bending
[125/187]1.575
+ [75/110]1
= 0.530 + 0.547
= 1.077 > 1.0
Hence, almost ok.
