PROBLEM

fc’ = 3 ksi

Design a Tied Column for the given load in USD method

SOLVE

Let, pg = 2.5 %

Now,
PU = α * ø * Ag [0.85 * fc’ * (1 - pg) + (pg * fy)] For Tied Column
 2400 = 0.8 * 0.65 * Ag [0.85 * 3 * (1 – 0.025) + (0.025 * 60)] α = 0.8
 2400 = 2.07 * Ag ø = 0.65
 Ag = 1157.82 in2

Provide Cross Section of Column = 33”  33” (1089 in2)

Now,
PU = α * ø [0.85 * fc’ * (Ag - As) + (As * fy)] For Tied Column
 2400 = 0.8 * 0.65 [0.85 * 3 * (1089 - As) + (As * 60)] α = 0.8
 2400 = 0.52 [2776.95 – 2.55As + 60As] ø = 0.65
