Concrete Column Design Guide

This document provides an introduction to the design of columns for a reinforced concrete design course. It defines columns and their purpose in carrying loads from beams and slabs to foundations. It classifies columns as braced or unbraced, and slender or non-slender. The document outlines the key aspects of column design, including slenderness ratio and limits, and reinforcement details. It focuses on the design of short braced columns and determining the effective dimension for calculating axial loads. Examples and tutorials are provided to help students learn column design.

• Identify types of column
• Define and explain column loading
• Define and calculate axial column loading
• Design typical simple column
• Illustrate simple column detailing

Introduction

• Columns in a structure carry the loads from beams


and slabs down to the foundations.
• They are primarily compression members that have
to cater axial loads and also to resist bending forces
due to the continuity of the structure.
• Design of columns is governed by the ultimate limit
state; deflections and cracking during service
conditions.

Columns classification

Columns can be classified into:-

1. Braced and Unbraced Column


2. Slender and Non-slender Column

Braced & Unbraced Column

• Braced column (consider only axial force)


where the lateral loads are resisted by shear
walls or other forms of bracing capable of
transmitting all horizontal loadings to the
foundation.
• Unbraced column (consider both axial and
horizontal forces)
where horizontal loads are resisted by the frame
action of rigidly connected columns, beams and
slabs.

Column design

Column design involves the consideration of this


following aspects:
• Slenderness ratio, λ
• Slenderness limit, λlim
• First order effects
• Second order moments
• Reinforcement details

Classification of column

• In the design of braced columns, it can be classified


into short and slender column.
• If λ ≤ λlim => short column where second order
moments (effects) can be ignored
• If λ > λlim => slender column

In this syllabus, only short column will be discussed

Arrangement of reinforcement

• For rectangular column: provide at least 4 bars


with φbar ≥ 12 mm.
• For circular column: provide at least 6 bars
φbar ≥ 12 mm

Determination of h value

Design of Column by Sharifah Maszura Syed Mohsin


Determination of h value

• When the column bends about major axis (z)


- h is the longer dimension
• When column bends about minor axis (y) - h
is the shorter dimension
