KBC 2009 Example 002

This document provides an example of checking the demand-to-capacity ratio for a reinforced concrete column subjected to axial load and bending moment. It describes the geometry, material properties, and loading of the column. It then shows the hand calculations for determining the column's capacity and compares it to the result from a computer program, finding less than 1% difference.

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 factored axial load Pu


= 1879 kN and moment Mu = 470 kN-m. This column is reinforced with 5 T25
bars. The design capacity ratio is checked by hand calculations and computed
result is compared. The column is designed as a short, non-sway member.

HAND CALCULATION

COLUMN STRENGTH UNDER COMPRESSION CONTROL

fck = 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 fro a balanced condition, cb:

Position of neutral axis at balance condition:

0.003 0.003
cmax = d= ( 490 ) = 183.75 mm
0.003 + 0.005 0.003 + 0.005

2) From the equation of equilibrium:

Pu = Cc + Cs − T
where
Cc = 0.85 f ck ab = 0.85 • 30 • 350a = 8925a
( )
Cs = As' f y - 0.85 f ck = 2500 ( 460 - 0.85 • 30 ) = 1, 086, 250 N
Assume compression steels yields, (this assumption will be checked later).
T = As f s = 2500 f s ( f s < f y )
Pu = 8,925a +1, 086, 250 - 2500 f s (Eqn. 1)

3) Taking moments about As:

1  a 
Pu = '  c
e   2
(
C d -  + Cs d - d '  )

The plastic centroid is at the center of the section and d " = 215 mm
e' = e + d " = 250 + 215 = 465 mm
1   a 
Pu = 8,925a  490 -  + 1, 086, 250 ( 490 - 60 ) 
465   2 
2
Pu = 9, 404.8a - 9.6a +1, 004, 489.2 (Eqn. 2)

4) Assume c = 335 mm, which exceed cmax (183.75 mm).

=
β1 0.85 −.007(30 − 28)
= 0.836 for =
f ck 30MPa,
a = 0.836 • 335 = 280 mm

Substitute in Eqn. 2:
Pu = 9, 404.8 • 280 - 9.6 ( 280 ) +1, 004, 489.2 = 2,885,193.2 N
2

5) Calculate fs from the strain diagram when c = 335 mm.

 490 - 335 
fs =   600 = 277.8 MPa
 335 
εs = εt = f s Es = 0.00138

6) Substitute a = 280 mm and fs = 277.7 MPa in Eqn. 1 to calculate Pu2 :


Pu2 = 8,925 ( 280 ) +1, 086, 250 - 2500 ( 277.8 ) = 2,890, 750 N
Which is very close to the calculated Pu1 of 2,885,193.2 (less than 1% difference)
 250 
M u = Pu e = 2890   = 722.5 kN-m
 1000 

7) Check if compression steels yield. From strain diagram,


 335 - 60 
ε s' =   ( 0.003) = 0.00263 > ε y = 0.0023
 335 
Compression steels yields, as assumed.

8) Therefore, section capacity is

Pu = 0.65 • 2890 = 21879 kN


M u = 0.65 • 722.5 = 470 kN-m
