Introduction ► A column is an important components of R.C. Structures. ► A column, in general, may be defined as a member carrying direct axial
load which causes compressive stresses of such magnitude that these stresses largely control its design. ► A column or strut is a compression member, the effective length of which exceeds three times the least lateral dimension. ► When a member carrying mainly axial load is vertical, it is termed as column ,while if it is inclined or horizontal, it is termed as a strut. ► Columns may be of various shape such as circular, rectangular, square, hexagonal etc.

Classification of columns Based on Type of Reinforcement a) Tied Columns-where the main longitudinal bars are enclosed within closely spaced lateral ties( all cross sectional shapes) b) Spiral columns-where the main longitudinal bars are enclosed within closely spaced and continuously wound spiral reinforcement (Circular, square, octagonal sections) c) Composite Columns-where the reinforcement is in the form of structural steel sections or pipes, with or without longitudinal bars

Based on Type of Loading a) Columns with axial loading (applied concentrically) b) Columns with uniaxial eccentric loading c) Columns with biaxial eccentric loading

occurrence of ‘pure’ axial compression in a column (due to concentric loads) is relatively rare. ► Generally, flexure accompanies axial compression — due to ‘rigid frame’ action, lateral loading and/or actual(or even, unintended/accidental) eccentricities in loading. ► The combination of axial compression (P) with bending moment (M) at any column section is statically equivalent to a system consisting of the load P applied with an eccentricity e = M/P with respect to the longitudinal centroidal axis of the column section. ► In a more general loading situation, bending moments (Mx and My) are applied simultaneously on the axially loaded column in two perpendicular directions — about the major axis (XX) and minor axis (YY) of the column section. This results in biaxial eccentricities ex= Mx /P and ey = My /P, as shown in [Fig.(c)]. ► The

► Columns
in reinforced concrete framed buildings, in general, fall into the third category, viz. columns with biaxial eccentricities. ► The biaxial eccentricities are particularly significant in the case of the columns located in the building corners. ► In the case of columns located in the interior of symmetrical, simple buildings, these eccentricities under gravity loads are generally of a low order (in comparison with the lateral dimensions of the column), and hence are sometimes neglected in design calculations. ► In such cases, the columns are assumed to fall in the first category, viz. columns with axial loading. ► The Code, however, ensures that the design of such columns is sufficiently conservative to enable them to be capable of resisting nominal eccentricities in loading 6
Based on Slenderness Ratio Columns (i.e., compression members) may be classified into the following two types, depending on whether slenderness effects are considered insignificant or significant: 1. Short columns 2. Slender (or long) columns. ‘Slenderness’ is a geometrical property of a compression member which is related to the ratio of its ‘effective length’ to its lateral dimension. This ratio, called slenderness ratio, also provides a measure of the vulnerability to failure of the column by elastic instability (buckling) — in the plane in which the slenderness ratio is computed.. Columns with low slenderness ratios, i.e., relatively short and stocky columns, invariably fail under ultimate loads with the material (concrete, steel) reaching its ultimate strength, and not by buckling. 7
On the other hand, columns with very high slenderness ratios are in danger of buckling (accompanied with large lateral deflection) under relatively low compressive loads, and thereby failing suddenly. Braced columns & unbraced column In most of the cases, columns are also subjected to horizontal loads like wind, earthquake etc. If lateral supports are provided at the ends of the column, the lateral loads are borne entirely by the lateral supports. Such columns are known as braced columns.(When relative transverse displacement between the upper and lower ends of a column is prevented, the frame is said to be braced (against sideway)). Other columns, where the lateral loads have to be resisted by them, in addition to axial loads and end moments, are considered as unbraced columns. (When relative transverse displacement between the upper and lower ends of a column is not prevented, the frame is said to be unbraced
(against sideway).

In such cases, the effective length ratio k varies between 0.5 and 1.0

In such cases, the effective length ratio k

Reinforcement in column ► Concrete is strong in compression. ► However, longitudinal steel rods are
always provided to assist in
carrying the direct loads. ► A minimum area of longitudinal steel is provided in the column, whether it is required from load point of view or not. ► This is done to resist tensile stresses caused by some eccentricity of the vertical loads. ► There is also an upper limit of amount of reinforcement in RC columns, because higher percentage of steel may cause difficulties in placing and compacting the concrete. ► Longitudinal reinforcing bars are “tied” laterally by “ties” or “stirrups” at suitable interval so that the bars do not buckle 11

Cover to reinforcement For a longitudinal reinforcing bar in a column, the nominal cover shall not be less than 40mm, nor less than the diameter of such bar. In the case of columns of minimum dimension of 200mm or under, whose reinforcing bars does not exceed 12mm, a cover of 25mm may be used. Clause 26.4.2.1 Page No:49–IS 456-2000

Column under axial compression and Uni-axial Bending ► Let
us now take a case of a column which is subjected to combined action of axial load (Pu) and Uni-axial Bending moment (Mu). ► This case of loading can be reduced to a single resultant load Pu acting at an eccentricity e such that e= Mu / Pu . ► The behavior of such column depends upon the relative magnitudes of Mu and Pu , or indirectly on the value of eccentricity e. ► For a column subjected to load Pu at an eccentricity e, the location of neutral axis (NA) will depend upon the value of eccentricity e. ► Depending upon the value of eccentricity and the resulting position (Xu) of NA., We will consider the following cases. 5
Case I : Concentric loading: Zero Eccentricity or nominal eccentricity (Xu =∞) Case II : Moderate eccentricity (Xu > D) Case III : Moderate eccentricity (Xu = D) Case IV : Moderate eccentricity (Xu < D)
Case I (e=0 and e 12, the column is considered to be slender for bending about x-x axis, while if ley/b > 12, the column is considered to be slender for bending about y-y axis. ► When a short column is loaded even with an axial load, the lateral deflection is either zero or very small. ► Similarly when a slender column is loaded even with axial load, the lateral deflection ∆, measured from the original centre line along its length, becomes appreciable.

Methods of Design of Slender Columns The design of a slender column can be carried out by following
simplified methods 1) The Strength Reduction Coefficient method 2) The Additional moment Method 3) The Moment Magnification Method The reduction coefficient method, given by IS 456-2000 is recommended for working stress design for service load and is based on allowable stresses in steel and concrete. The additional moment method is recommended by Indian and British codes. The ACI Code recommends the use of moment magnification method. 3

Procedure for Design of Slender Column Step-1- Determine the Effective Length and Slenderness Ratio in each direction Step-2- (a) Determine Initial Moment (Mui) from given primary end moments Mu1 and Mu2 in each direction. (b) Calculate emin and Mu,min in each direction. (c) Compare moments computed in steps (a) and (b) above and take the greater one of the two as initial moment Mui ,in each direction. Step-3- (a) Compute additional moment (Ma) in each direction, using equation

(b) Compute total moment (Mut ) in each direction from using equation without considering reduction factor (ka)
(c) Make Preliminary design for Pu and Mut and find area of steel. Thus p is known. Step-4- (a) Obtain Puz. Also obtain Pb in each direction, for reinforcement ration p determined above. (b) Determine the value of ka in each direction. (c) Determine the Modified design value of moment in each direction Mut = Mui + ka Ma 9
Step-5- Redesign the column for Pu and Mut . If the column is slender about both the axes, design the column for biaxial bending, for (Pu , Muxt) about x-axis and (Pu , Muyt) about y-axis. Note-When external moments are absent, bending moment due to minimum eccentricity should be added to additional moment about the corresponding axes.
