Column Loads

The document provides details on the preliminary design of a critical column. It includes: - A figure showing the critical column. - Tables calculating dead loads, live loads, and total loads on the column from various building elements. - Calculations to determine the required cross-sectional area and adopted size of the column based on the total factored load and assumptions about material strengths. The key information is the preliminary sizing of the critical column as 500x500mm based on load calculations and structural design equations.

Preliminary Design of Column

Critical column is as shown below in fig 3.1.

Load calculation

Dead Load

Dead load calculation is shown in table 3.1.

Load Type Calculation Value


(KN)
Self-weight of slab 25*0.13*6.325 *6.553 134.705
Self-weight of partition wall 6.325 *6.553*0.44 18.237
Self-weight of floor finish 6.325 *6.553*1 41.448
Self-weight of beam 25*0.575*0.380*6.55+ 25*0.575*0.380*6.33 70.357

Self-weight of column 25*(3.353-0.130)*0.61*0.61 9.139

Total 273.886

Live Load
Taking live load = 4 KN/m2
Live load calculation is shown in table 3.2.

Semi-basement 6.325*6.553*4 165.791

Ground 6.325*6.553*4*0.9 149.212

First 6.325*6.553*4*0.8 132.633

Top Floor 6.325*6.553*0.6 99.475

Total Load
Total load calculation is shown in table 3.3.

Floor Dead (KN) Live (KN) Total (KN)


Semi-basement 273.886 165.791 439.677

Ground 273.886 149.212 423.098

First 273.886 132.633 406.519

Second 273.886 116.054 389.94

Third 273.886 99.475 373.361

Fourth 273.886 99.475 373.361

Top Floor 273.886 99.475 373.361

Total 2779.317
Table 3..3: Total Load Calculation

Total factored load = 1.5*2779.317


= 4168.975 KN
Increasing by 30 % for EQ,
Total load Pu = 1.3*4168.975 = 5419.6675 KN
Now, we have,
Pu = 0.4*fck *(Ag- Asc) + 0.67*fy *Asc
Assuming percentage of steel, p = 4%
Then,
5419.6675*103 = 0.4*25*(Ag-0.04* Ag) + 0.67*500*0.04* Ag
Solving, we get,
Ag =235637.717 mm2
Considering a square column,
Depth (D) = Width (b) = √235637.717 = 485.425 mm
Adopt, size of the column = b*D
= (500*500) mm
