Design of RC Slender Columns According To ECP 203-2018 P1

1) Slender columns experience both material failure and geometric instability due to buckling, requiring special design considerations. 2) The slenderness ratio, lambda (l), is used to classify columns as short, intermediate, or long. Additional moments due to lateral deflection must be considered for intermediate and long columns. 3) Braced and unbraced frames are defined according to whether relative transverse displacement between the ends of columns is prevented or not. Columns in unbraced structures experience additional sway moments.

Design of RC Slender Columns

According to ECP 203-2018


P1

Week (8) 29.03.2020


Introduction – Slender Columns
• The previous study of column design applies only to short columns.
- Pult= 0.35Acfcu + 0.67Asfy
• Slenderness adds another factor (geometric instability) into
consideration. This can be simulated by straining actions to columns
which have to be taken into consideration while designing.
• Definition:
- a slender column is a “THIN” column.

Design of Slender Columns
Slenderness Ratio of Columns (l)
Slenderness ratio is the ratio of the free length of a column and the least radius of
gyration of its cross section. Often denoted by lambda (l) . It is used extensively for
finding out the design load as well as in classifying various columns in short/
intermediate/long.

Braced and Unbraced Frames
• To determine the actual additional moments on slender columns,
it is important to determine if the building is braced or unbraced.

• When relative transverse displacement between upper and


lower ends of columns is prevented, the frame is said to be
BRACED column.
• When relative transverse displacement between upper and
lower ends of columns is NOT prevented, the frame is said to
be UNBRACED column.

Braced and Unbraced Frames
• Columns in unbraced structures suffer from sway moments in
addition to buckling and any eccentric loads.
• Columns in unbraced structures are more critical in design.
