SOLVED EXAMPLE Design a circular column of 400 mm diameter with helical reinforcement subjected to an axial load of 1500 kN under service load and live load. The column has an unsupported length of 3 m effectively held in position at both ends but not restrained against rotation. Use M 25 concrete and Fe 415 steel . Step 1: To check the slenderness ratio Given data are: unsupported length l = 3000 mm, D = 400 mm. Table 28 of Annex E of IS 456 gives effective length le = l = 3000 mm. Therefore , le/D = 7.5 < 12 confirms that it is a short column. Step 2: To check the slenderness ratio Given data are: Minimum eccentricity = Greater of (l/500 + D/30) or 20 mm = 20 mm 0.05 D = 0.05(400) = 20 mm Source: IITK
As per cl.39.3 of IS 456, should not exceed 0.05D to employ the equation given in that clause for the design. Here, both the eccentricities are the same. Step 3: Area of steel = – = 125663.71 - Substituting the values of , , and Provide 12 nos. Of 20 mm diameter bars ) as longitudinal reinforcement giving p=3% which is between 0.8%(minimum) and 4% (maximum). Hence o.k.
Step 4: Ties Diameter of helical reinforcement (cl.26.5.3.2 d-2) shall be not less than greater of ( i ) one-fourth of the diameter of largest longitudinal bar, and (ii) 6 mm. Use 8 mm tie. Assuming a clear cover of 40 , = 400-40-40=320 ; =
= 25 N/ = 415 N/ =8 mm; =50.24 Substituting in equation (iii) As per cl.26.5.3.2 d-1, the maximum pitch is the lesser of 75 mm and 320/6 = 53.34 mm and the minimum pitch is lesser of 25 mm and 3(6) = 18 mm. We adopt pitch = 25 mm which is within the range of 24 mm and 53.34 mm. So, provide 8 mm bars @ 25 mm pitch forming the helix.
Step 5: Checking of cl. 39.4.1 of IS 456 = 2.787 = 0.0245 = 0.0122 ∴ check is satisfied.
