SAMPLE COLUMN DESIGN
Selected column for desin at Grid (D,8)
Calculation will be done for ground floor column. U
Concrete cover to reinforced beams:
We assume a mild exposure condition and fire resistance of as well.
By considering both of them select the cover size for the beam.
For durability requirement:
Let consider the grade of concrete as C30, Therefore,
fcu = 30N/mm2
Column

Select the column cover as 30 mm. 30mm
The required area of column is estimated by using the following
equation.

Table5.0 N/Ac ≤ 0.35fcu + P/100(0.67fy-0.35fcu)
≤ (0.35x30) + (1.5/100)(0.67x460-0.35x30) = 14.97 N/mm2

So, required width of the square shape column = 440 mm
Select 450mm x 450mm size column.
Calculation for Loading on Coloum
Columns are loading not only from vertical loads, but also from
lateral loads. Considered wind load as lateral loads for this device.
Used software ETAB for model the structure. Followings are the
results obtained from model for Axial load, BM and SF. Applied
load combination are 1.2 Gk + 1.2Qk + 1.2W , 1.4Gk + 1.6 Qk and
1.4Gk + 1.4 Qk. Maximum loads are selected from these envelop.
Assumed column size is 300mmx500mm

equation 34 Deflection induced Moments:
au = βa K h
βa = 1/2000 x (le/b’)2
βax = 1/2000 x (4.8/0.4)2 = 0.072
βay = 1/2000 x (4.8/0.4)2 = 0.072
K = Reduction factor that corrects the deflection to allow for the
influence of axial load and can be conservatively taken as 1.
Take K = 1,
Hence, aux = 0.072 x 1 x 450 = 32.4mm
auy =0.072x 1 x450 = 32.4mm
