Introduction
•Column: Subjected to axial compressive forces
•Carries load from beams and slabs down to the foundation.
•May also resist bending momentdue to continuity of structure
and loading eccentricity
•EC2 Clause 5.3.1(7):
a)Compression member where the greater cross sectional
dimension does not exceed 4 times the smaller dimension
(h4b)
b)Height is at least 3 times the section depth
Classification of Columns
Column Classification
Braced
Slender
Non-slender
Unbraced
Slender
Non-slender
Lateral stability to the structure
as a whole is provided by walls or
bracing –resist all lateral forces
Lateral loads are resisted
by the bending actionof
the column
Classification of Columns
•Slender or Non-slender column depending on the
sensitivity to second order effect (P-effect)
•Use slenderness ratio, to measure column
vulnerability by elastic instability or buckling
•Non-Slender:
a)Design action are not significantly affected by
deformation (P-effect is small)
b)P-effect can be ignored if does not exceed a
particular value
c)P-effect can be ignored if 10% of the
corresponding first order moments
Classification of Columns
•Short column –, crushing at ultimate strength
•Slender column–, buckling under low compressive
load

at least as deep as the overall dimension of the column in the plane
considered. Where column connected to a foundation this should
be designed to carry moment

which are shallower than the overall dimension of the column in
the plane considered

nominal restraint to rotation

Condition apply for C:
(1)If the end moments, M
o1& M

side of the column, then r
mshould be taken +ve(follows C1.7)
(2)If the column is in a state of double curvature, then r
mshould be
taken –ve(follows C1.7)
(3)For braced members in which the first order moment arise only
from or predominantly due to imperfections or transverse
loading, then r
mshould be taken as 1.0 (C= 0.7)
(4)For unbraced member, in general r
mshould be taken as 1.0 (C=

Simplified Method
Axial Load & Moment in Column
For analysis without full frame analysis:
a)Axial loads may generally be obtained by increasing the loads
obtained by 10%by assumption that beams & slabs are simply
supported. Higher percentagemay be required when adjacent
spans and/or loadings on them are grossly dissimilar.
b)Bending moments may be calculated using the simplified one
free-joint sub-frame. The arrangement of the design ultimate
variable action should be such as that to cause maximum
moment in the column.

•However, unlike with BS8110 the maximum compressive
strain when designing to EC2 will be less than 0.0035if
the whole section is in compression.
•This compressive strain will further fall to 0.00175 (f
ck<
50 N/mm

) if the section is subject to pure compression.
•This will affect the steel strains and hence forces which
the reinforcement can carry
