Step # 1: Check The Type of Column (I.e. Short or Long) by Calculating The Slenderness Effect (

The document provides requirements to design a 20 ft long rectangular tied column subjected to axial and moment loads. It outlines the steps taken to: 1) Determine the column is long and subject to slenderness effects. 2) Calculate the member stiffness and Euler buckling load. 3) Determine the design eccentricity and assume a steel ratio. 4) Check for compression-controlled failure and calculate the nominal load strength. 5) Size the column section and verify it exceeds the required design load strength. Lateral ties with #3 bars spaced at 15 in. are specified.

Example: Design a 20 ft long rectangular tied column for an

axial load PD = 142 kips and a moment MD = 120 k-ft due to dead load
and an axial load PL = 115 kips and a moment ML = 95 k-ft due to live
load. The column is bent in single curvature about its major axis,
braced against sidesway and the end moments are equal. The end
restraint factors are ΨA = 2.5 and ΨB = 1.4. Use fs=5 ksi , fy = 60 ksi and b
= 14 in.

Data:
Type of column =braced against sidesway, bent in single curvature
Width of column=b=14,
Dead load on column=142 kips, live load on column=115 kips
Moment due D.L=120 k-ft, moment due to L.L=95k-ft
Unsupported length of the column=lu=20 ft
Moment at both ends of column equal i.e M1=M2
ΨA = 2.5 and ΨB = 1.4, fc' ’=4ksi, fy =60 ksi

Required: design the column section.

Step # 1: Check the type of column (i.e. short or long) by calculating


the slenderness effect (klu/r :
Since the end-strained factors ΨA = 2.5 and ΨB = 1.4 are given,
therefore, first we find the value effective length factor (k) from the
alignment chart.
Using the alignment chart for the braced framed (non sway framed),
connect the values of ΨA = 2.5 and ΨB = 1.4 to intersect the K line at
K=0.84.
Also here,lu=20 ft and assumed the total depth (h) of column as 22in.

r = 0.3 h = 0.3 x 22= 6.6in.


Therefore,
klu/r = 0.84 x (20 x 12 in.) / 6.6 from table k=0.84
= 30.45
Now according to ACI Code, for braced columns if:
klu ≤34−12 M 1/ M 2

Then the effect of slenderness may be neglected and the column


may be designed as short column

To check this, taking R.H.S of the expression, we have,


12 M 1
34− =34−12 ×1
M2

34-12=22 here,{M1=M2 and M1/M2 as +ve


for the single curvature
Now, since klu/r=30.45>22. Therefore column will be long column
and slenderness effect is considered.
Steps#2: calculate the member stiffness (EI) by using the relation:
0.4 Ec Ig
EI =
1+ Bdns

Here, EC = modulus of elasticity of concrete


=57000√ f c ' =57000 × √ 5000

Ig= gross moment of inertia of column section

Bdns= dead load moment ratio

Therefore,
0.4 × 4031× 103 × 12422
EI= 1+0.48

EI=1.35×10 10 ib−¿2
Step#3: calculate the Euler’s buckling load (Pc) by using the
relations
Pc¿ ╥ 2 EI /(klu)2
=3.142 ×3.142× 1.35× 1010 /(0.84 × 20 ×12)2

Step#4: calculate the design eccentricity (ed ¿ by using the relation
ed =Mc/ pu

Where, Mc=magnified moment

δns=moment magnified factor ¿

Cm=0.4+0.6(M1/M2) ,

Cm=0.4+0.6=1

pu=1.2 D . L+1.6 L . L

pu=1.2 × (142)+1.6(115)=354.4k

Mu=1.2 MD . L+1.6 ML . L

δns=1.17

Mc=1.17×296 =346.32k −ft


ed =346.32/354.4

ed =11.72 ≅ 12∈¿

Now, assume a steel ratio of 2.5% i.e p=0.025

Then, As= pbd


=0.025 ×14 × 19.5
=6.825¿2 use 8#9 A s ' =4 ¿2, As=4 ¿2
Steps#5: check that assumed section in under compression or
tension condition failure by calculating the eccentricity (e) using the
relation:
e=Mu / pu

e= =10.2∈¿
354.4

If e>d is tension failure


e<2/3d=2/3×19.5=10.2<13 compression controlled.

steps#6 calculate the nominal load strength of column by using the


relations:
pn=Cc+ Cs−T

Cs=0.85×fc’ab
=0.85×5a×14

=59.5a

Cc=A s ' ( fy−0.85 f c ' )

¿ 4 (60−0.85 ×5)

Cc =223
T = Asfy

¿ 4 fy

Put the values


pn=59.5 a+ 223−4 fy equation1

Now, as we know that for compression controlled failure sections.

Where the value of c may be assumed such that c=cb

cb=( 8787+f y ) dt

Now assume c =12in


Then,
19.5−12
fs=( )× 87

fs=48.72 ksi

Substituting the value of fs in equation 1

pn=59.5 a+ 223−4 × 48.72

pn=59.5 a+194.88 equation 2

Also we have,

pn=

Here,
e ' =ed +d −h/2

pn=56.7 a−1. 4 5 a 2+184.92 equation(3)

Solving equations (2) and (3) we get,


59.5+28.12=56.7 1 a−1. 4 5 a2 +184.92

a 2+2 a−108.12=0

a=9.45 put in equation


(2)
pn=5 9.5 × 9.45+2 8.12
pn=591.34 kips

Steps #7 calculate the design load of column section by using the


relation
pu
pn=
∅

Where pu= factored load=354.4


∅=0.65¿ for compression member

pn=354.4 /0.65

pn=545.23 kips

Now since the nominal load strength of the column=591.34 kips is


higher than the design load strength=545.23 kips .Hence the column
section safe and adequate.
Steps#8: design of lateral ties
According to ACI code, the minimum diameter of lateral ties must be
3/8in. (#3) for the longitudinal bars of #10 size or smaller.
Now since, #9 bars are chosen as the main bars, hence
Use #3 bars as lateral ties
Spacing of lateral ties
According to AC1 code, spacing of lateral ties shall not exceed the
smallest by:
(1) 16 times the dia of longitudinal bar

=16× ( 98 )=18∈.
(2) 48 times the dia of tie bar

=48× ( 38 )=18∈.
(3) least lateral dimension of column
=15in.
Now since 15in. is the smallest value, hence use spacing for the ties
as 15 in.
