Concepts:

The safe load on the column is given as:

P_s = Permissible stress in concrete x Area of concrete + Permissible stress in steel x Area of steel.

Calculation:

Given:  

Size of column = 20 cm x 20 cm

Area of reinforcement = 20 cm²

Permissible stress in concrete = 40 kg/cm²

Permissible stress in steel = 1300 kg/cm²

Area of Concrete

= Gross area – steel area

= 20 × 20 – 20 = 380 Sq.cm

The safe load on the column is,

P_s  = 40 x 380 + 20 × 1300 = 41,200 kg

Explanation:

As per IS 456:2000, the design of transverse reinforcement is as:

The diameter of transverse reinforcement:

i) \(\rm{\frac{1}{4}{\phi _{main}}}\)

ii) 6 mm

whichever is maximum,

The spacing of Transverse reinforcement:

i) Least lateral dimension

ii) 16 times diameter of main reinforcement bar

iii) 300 mm

Explanation:

Minimum eccentricity to be considered along a lateral dimension as per Clause 25.4 of IS 456:2000 is equal to the unsupported length of columns/500 plus lateral dimension/30, subject to a minimum of 20 mm.

Minimum eccentricities:

\({e_{\;x\;min}} = {\rm{max}}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\frac{{{\ell _x}}}{{500}} + \frac{D}{{30}}}\\ {20\;mm} \end{array}} \right.\)

\({e_{y\;min}} = {\rm{max}}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\frac{{{\ell _y}}}{{500}} + \frac{b}{{30}}}\\ {20\;mm} \end{array}} \right.\)

ℓx, ℓy = Unsupported length of column

Concepts:

The ultimate load-carrying capacity of short column is given by:

P_u = 0.40f_ckA_c+0.67f_yA_sc

Where

A_c= Gross area of cross-section (A_g) – Steel area (A_sc)

f_ck = Characteristic compressive strength of concrete

f_y = Yield Strength of Steel

Calculation:

Given: 

Size: 300 × 300 mm; 4 bars of dia 20 mm; Fe-415 and M20

For Fe 415 Grade; f_y = 415 MPa

For M20 Grade: f_ck = 20 MPa

A_sc=4 × π/4 × 20 × 20=1256.64 mm²

 A_g = 300 × 300 = 90000 mm²

A_c = A_g - A_sc

A_c = 90000 – 1256.64 = 88743.36 mm²

The axial load carrying capacity of column is given as:

P_u = 0.40 × 20 × 88743.36 + 0.67 × 415 × 1256.64

P_u = 1059.56 kN

Explanation:

Transverse reinforcing bars are provided in forms of circular rings, polygonal links (lateral ties) with internal angles not exceeding 135^o or helical reinforcement.

The transverse reinforcing bars are provided to ensure that every longitudinal bar nearest to the compression face has effective lateral support against buckling. Clause 26.5.3.2 stipulates the guidelines of the arrangement of transverse reinforcement. The salient points are: 

Transverse reinforcement shall only go round corner and alternate bars if the longitudinal bars are not spaced more than 75 mm on either side 

The maximum number of sides this polygonal ring can have is 8 

Concept:

According to Clause 26.5.3 of IS 456: 2000 the cross-sectional area of longitudinal reinforcement in a column shall not be less than 0.8 % nor more than 6 % of the gross c/s area of the column.

Calculation:

Given: Gross c/s area = 300 × 300 mm² = 90000 mm2 

Minimum reinforcement = \(90000 \times \dfrac{0.8}{100} \) = 720 mm2 

Maximum reinforcement = \(90000 \times \dfrac{6}{100}\) = 5400 mm2 
Important Points

•  Maximum area of tension reinforcement = 0.04 bD [b = width of the beam, D = Depth of the beam]
• The minimum area of tension reinforcement shall not be less than = \(\dfrac{0.85 \times b D}{f_y}\) [f_y = characteristic tensile strength of reinforcement]
• Side face reinforcement shall not be less than 0.1% of the web area for deep beams

Concept:

Slenderness ratio(\(λ\)) of an RC column:

It is the ratio of its effective length to the least lateral dimension of the column.

\(λ = {L_{eff} \over Least\space lateral\space dimension}\)

l_eff = 3 m = 3000 mm, d = 300 mm

λ = 3000/300 = 10 

According to slenderness ration column is classified as follows:

• \(λ\) ≤ 3 → Pedestal
• 3 < \(λ\) < 12 → short column
• 12 ≤ \(λ\) → Long column

So, as per the classification done above, the slenderness ratio falls between 3 and 12, and given column will be short column

Concept:

The column is classified based on its slenderness ratio

Slenderness ratio, \( λ= \frac{{{{\text{L}}_{{\text{eff}}}}}}{{{\text{Least lateral dimension}}}}\)

λ ≤ 3  for Pedestal

3 < λ < 12 for short column

12 ≤ λ for long column

Calculation:

Unsupported length, l_o = 4m

Since RCC column is rigidly held on both sides, so it behaves like a fixed column:

Effective length, l_eff = 0.65 l_o

\({l_{eff}} = 0.65 \times 4 = 2.6\;m\)

Slenderness Ratio, λ = l_eff/least lateral dimension

\( λ = \frac{{2600}}{{400}} = 6.5\)

∴ Slenderness ratio (λ) < 12, so it behaves as a short RCC column.

As per IS 456: 2000, clause 26.5.3.1,

Longitudinal reinforcement in a column:

Percentage of steel:

The cross-sectional area of longitudinal reinforcement shall be not less than 0.8 percent nor more than 6 percent of the gross cross-sectional area of the column.

Minimum diameter of longitudinal reinforcement bars:

The main longitudinal reinforcement bars used in the column shall not be less than 12 mm in diameter.

Minimum number of longitudinal bar:

The minimum number of the longitudinal bar provided in column shall be

a) Four in rectangular columns

b) Six in circular columns

Helical reinforcement:

A reinforced concrete column having helical reinforcement shall have at least six-bar of longitudinal reinforcement within the helical reinforcement.

Spacing:

The spacing of longitudinal bars measured along the periphery of the column shall not exceed 300 mm.

Concept:

The effective length of compression members is given by
