AS 3600-2009 Column Design Example

This document provides an example of checking the demand-to-capacity ratio for an axially loaded rectangular reinforced concrete column. It describes the column geometry, material properties, loads, and reinforcement. Hand calculations are shown to determine the column capacity and compare it to the demand from a given axial load and moment. The results from a structural analysis software program, SAP2000, are also presented and compared to the independent hand calculation, showing good agreement.

P-M INTERACTION CHECK FOR COMPRESSION-CONTROLLED RECTANGULAR COLUMN

EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
The Demand/Capacity ratio for a given axial loading and moment is tested in this
example.

In this example, a reinforced concrete column is subjected to factored axial load


N = 1733 kN and moment My = 433 kN-m. This column is reinforced with five
25M bars. The design capacity ratio is checked by hand calculations and the
result is compared with computed results. The column is designed as a short,
non-sway member.

HAND CALCULATION

COLUMN STRENGTH UNDER COMPRESSION CONTROL


fcu = 30 MPa fy = 460 MPa
b = 350 mm d = 490 mm

1) Because e = 250 mm < (2/3)d = 327 mm, assume compression failure. This
assumption will be checked later. Calculate the distance to the neutral axis for a
balanced condition, cb:
Position of neutral axis at balance condition:
600 600
cb = dt = ( 490 ) = 277.4 mm
600 + f y 600 + 460

2) From the equation of equilibrium:


N = Cc + C s T
where
= Cc =
2 fc ab 0.85 30 =
350a 8925a
Cs = As ( f y 2 fc) = 2500 ( 460 0.85 30 ) = 1, 086, 250 N
Assume compression steel yields, (this assumption will be checked later).
T = As f = 2500 f s = 2500 f s ( f s < f y )
N1 =
8925a + 1.086, 250 2500 fs (Eqn. 1)

3) Taking moments about As:


1 a
=
N2 Cc d + C s ( d d )
e 2
The plastic centroid is at the center of the section and d = 215 mm
e =e + d =250 + 215 =465 mm
1 a
=N 8925a 490 + 1, 086, 250 ( 490 60 )
465 2

N = 9404.8a 9.597 a 2 + 1, 004, 489 (Eqn. 2)

4) Assume c = 333.9 mm, which exceeds cb (296 mm).


= =
a 0.84 333.9 280.5 mm
Substitute in Eqn. 2:

N 2 = 8925 280.5 9.597 ( 280.5 ) + 1, 004, 489= 2,888, 240 N

5) Calculate fs from the strain diagram when c = 365 mm.


490 333.9
=fs = 600 280.5 MPa
333.9
s =t =fs Es = 0.0014

6) Substitute a = 280.5 mm and fs = 280.5 MPa in Eqn. 1 to calculate N1:


N1= 8925 ( 280.5 ) + 1, 086, 250 2500 ( 280.5 )= 2,887,373 N
which is very close to the calculated N2 of 2,888,240 (less than 1% difference)
250
= Ne
M = 2888 = 722 kN-m

7) Check if compression steel yields. From strain diagram,


333.9 60
=s ( 0.003
= ) 0.0025=
> y 0.0023
333.9
Compression steel yields, as assumed.

8) Therefore, section capacity is


N = 2888 =
1733 kN
e 250
M = 2888 = 0.60 2888 = 433 kN-m
1000 1000
