Design of Composite Columns According To ECP No. 205-2001: 1-Appreviations
1- Appreviations :
2- Requirements :
a- The total cross-sectional area of steel section shall not be less than four percent (4%) of the gross column area.
b- The characteristic 28-day cube strength of concrete, fcu, shall not be less than 250 kg/cm2, nor greater than 500 kg/cm2.
c- Multiple steel shapes in the same cross-section shall be interconnected with lacing, tie plates, or batten plates to prevent
buckling of individual shapes before hardening of concrete.
d- For concrete encasement, the spacing of lateral ties shall not exceed two thirds of the least dimension of the composite
section, or 30 cm, whichever is samller. Concrete cover over lateral ties shall not be less than 4 cm.
f- To avoid local buckling, the minimum wall thickness of steel rectangular tubing filled shall be taken as b(Fy/3Es)^1/2
and for circular section shall be taken as D(Fy/8Es)^1/2.
