Bi-Axial Column Design
Bi-Axial Column Design
1) Material Properties:
Grade of Concrete (fck) = 25 N/mm2
Grade of Steel (fy) = 500 N/mm2
2) Member Properties:
Length of the Column ( L) = 2.43 m
Depth of Column (D) = 600 mm
Width of Column (B) = 400 mm
Depth of Beam = 900 mm
Effective Length Factor (Kx) = 0.79
Effective Length Factor (Ky) = 0.91
Unsupported Length of Column (l) = 1.53 m
Effective Length of Column (Lex) = 1.92 m
Effective Length of Column (Ley) = 2.21 m
Clear Cover = 40 mm
Effective Cover = 60 mm
3) Load Data:
Axial Load of Column (Pu) = 240 kN
Moment about X-axis
Mx1 = 65 kN.m
Mx2 = 0 kN.m
Moment about Y-axis
My1 = 25 kN.m
My2 = 0 kN.m
3) Flexural Design of Column:
Slenderness Check
lex/Dx = 3.20 < 12, Design as Short Column
ley/Dy = 5.53 < 12, Design as Short Column
Minimum Eccentricity
exmin = 20 mm (l/500) + (D/30) <
eymin = 18.19 mm (l/500) + (B/30) <
Moment due to Eccentricity
Muxe = 4.37 kN.m = P u * ey
Muye = 4.80 kN.m = P u * ex
