Study Notes
Column Types
-
Short Columns: Height <= 3-4 times the least lateral dimension
- Can be considered as short if the slenderness ratio (λ) is less than 12
- Failure mode: Material failure ( crushing or yielding)
-
Long Columns: Height > 3-4 times the least lateral dimension
- Failure mode: Buckling or instability
-
Slender Columns: Height > 10-15 times the least lateral dimension
- Failure mode: Buckling or instability
Load Calculations
-
Axial Load: Calculated using the structural analysis of the building
- Includes dead load (self-weight of the column), live load, and other external loads
-
Bending Moment: Calculated using the structural analysis of the building
- Includes loads from wind, seismic, and other external forces
-
Slenderness Effect: Considered for long and slender columns
- Reduces the column's capacity due to buckling or instability
Column Spacing
-
Minimum Column Spacing: Typically 1.5 to 2 times the column diameter
- Ensures adequate space for concrete to flow and for construction
-
Maximum Column Spacing: Typically 4 to 6 times the column diameter
- Ensures structural integrity and prevents excessive deflection
Reinforcement Design
-
Main Reinforcement: Provided in the longitudinal direction
- Typically consists of vertical bars (e.g., rebar) to resist axial load and bending
-
Transverse Reinforcement: Provided in the transverse direction
- Typically consists of ties or hoops to resist lateral forces and provide confinement
-
Reinforcement Ratio: The ratio of reinforcement area to concrete area
- Typically ranges from 1% to 4% for columns
Concrete Strength
-
Compressive Strength: The maximum compressive stress that concrete can withstand
- Typically ranges from 20 to 100 MPa (2900 to 14500 psi)
-
Concrete Grade: A measure of the concrete's compressive strength
- Typically denoted as C25/30, where 25 is the cylinder strength and 30 is the cube strength
-
Concrete Cover: The thickness of concrete between the reinforcement and the surface
- Typically ranges from 25 to 50 mm (1 to 2 in)
